440 LIEUT.-COL. C. SWINHOE ON LITTLE-KNOWN [June 17, 



This rare species is the common form of this group at Aden, and 

 I have a good many examples of both sexes : some of the females 

 are yellow, some white, all more or less suffused with pale pinkish 

 salmon-colour. 



Group la. Type Teracolus amatus, Fabr. 



12. Teracolus kennedii, n. sp. 



Ahmeduuggur, November 1883. 



<S . Fore wings marked like T. modestus, Butler. Differs in having 

 the black band round the wings much narrower and the spot on the 

 interno-median interspace disconnected from the marginal band. Hind 

 wings, above, a deep black band on the costa for two thirds of its 

 length from the base, a black marginal border, and three submargiual 

 black spots connected with the border by black irrorations, which 

 also continue broadly up the inner margin, and four marginal 

 salmon-coloured dots in the band. Below, it is identical with T. 

 modestus. 



5 . Marked above somewhat like the male, but the submarginal 

 black spots on the hind wings are joined together, doubling the depth 

 of the border, which has four marginal salmon-coloured dots and five 

 large submarginal spots of the same colour ; and the costal black 

 band of the male is altogether absent. 



Below, it is primrose-colour, with the apex of the fore wings and 

 the whole surface of the hind wings suffused with salmon-colour ; a 

 large white-centred black spot at the end of the cell of each wing, 

 larger in the fore wings ; a whorl of seven black spots in the disk of 

 the fore wings, the first five pale ; and a whorl of seven spots in the 

 disk of the hind wings, all pale. 



Expanse of wings, <S $ 1| inch. 



In coll. C. Swinhoe. 



Group 8. Type Teracolus interruptus, Butler. 



13. Teracolus xanthus, n. sp. (Plate XXXIX. 3 $, figs. 10 

 & 11.) 



Between Berber and Khartoum (Petherick). 



<$ . Marked like T. galanthus, Butler, the outer macular band on 

 the hind wings above being single, instead of double as in that 

 species. 



Below pale primrose, the basal half of fore wings and apex 

 yellow, with a faint orange band crossing the latter ; a black-brown 

 spot on the interno-median interspace, corresponding to the end of 

 the band on the inner margin above, a faint spot at the end of the 

 cell. Hind wings with a spot at the end of the cell, on a saffron- 

 yellow ground ; basal third of costa same colour. 



5 . Antennae black ; body, head, and general colour of wings 

 above primrose ; apical patch reddish brown, inner border irregular 

 and toothed on the veins, and diffused with pale brownish orange. 

 Hind wings with a reddish brown macular border. Below marked as
