1/8 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON [Jan. IS, 



white hairs, but rather paler than in the male. Primaries below 

 white, a black dot at the end of the cell ; four brownish spots in an 

 oblique series limiting the inner edge of the apical area, which is 

 cream-coloured and speckled with grey : secondaries cream-coloured, 

 speckled with grey ; a black dot at the end of the cell ; an angulated 

 series of seven more or less distinct brownish spo ts across the disk : 

 body snow-white. Expanse of wings 1 inch 4 lines. 

 One pair of this pretty little species was obtained. 



Teracolus candidus, sp. n. (Plate XVIII. fig. 2.) 



(c? No. 701, 2 736.) 



(5" , Allied to the preceding, but smaller ; the primaries with an 

 oblique subapical orange patch, five pyriform marginal black spots ; 

 secondaries with two apical marginal black dots : below much as in 

 T. niveus. Expanse of wings 1 inch 2 lines. 



2 . Chiefly differs from the preceding in its smaller size and less 

 pronounced markings. Expanse of wings 1 inch 2 lines. 



Three males and one female obtained. I think it may prove to 

 be a variety of the preceding species, although the difference in the 

 coloration at the apex of the primaries in the male is very re- 

 markable. 



Catopsilia pyrene (No. 711). 



Colias pyrene, Swainson, Zool. 111. i. pi. li. (1820-21). 



One male specimen. 



Synchloe anomala, sp. n. (Plate XVIII. fig. 3.) 



(No. 761.) 



5 . Most like -S. pvotodice of North America, but larger than any 

 species of the group. Wings above white, speckled with black 

 scales at the base : primaries with the costal border to the end of 

 the cell heavily black-speckled ; a large subquadrate black spot on 

 the discocellulars ; a very irregular black discal band formed of 

 large oblong spots alternating with lunules, only separated from a 

 rather broad external border by a series of six unequal white spots ; 

 this border is broad at apex, and gradually tapers to the external 

 angle : secondaries with angular submarginal series of five black 

 spots (the first on costal border large and quadrate), separated from 

 a tapering brown border by spots of the ground-colour as in the 

 primaries : body above blackish, clothed with silky grey hairs ; pro- 

 thorax clothed in front with short brown hair ; palpi white, with 

 brown edges ; antennae pale brown. Under surface white, broadly 

 but sparsely speckled with black scales towards the base : primaries 

 with the discocellular spot, discal band, and dusky basal half of 

 costa as above ; outer border obsolete, this part of the wing being, 

 however, apparently greyish owing to its semitransparency, and 

 slightly shot with pink : secondaries with slight pink reflections ; 

 the markings of the upper surface only indistinctly visible through 

 the texture of the wing: body below white. Expanse of wings 

 2 inches 6 lines.
