in the male, the yellow on the fore wings suffusing the wing through- 

 out, and the entire surface of the hind wings deepened to saffron- 

 colour.

Haithalkim near Aden, March 1883. 



cJ . Near T. daira, Klug. Is, however, quite distinct, differing 

 from both the plates and the description in having the base of all 

 the wings deeply irrorated with black-brown, which extends in the 

 form of a deep band along the inner margin of the fore wings to the 

 black spot on the interno-median interspace. In the hind wings by 

 having a large black-brown spot on the costa corresponding to the 

 spot on the fore wings, which also forms a limit to the basal irrora- 

 tions, the irrorations on this wing covering the entire basal third.

Group 8a. Type Teracolus liagore, Klug.

Haithalkim, near Aden, March 1883. 



Near T. liagore, Klug. 



<3 . Differs above in having the base powdered with black-brown, 

 in having a smaller apical patch, and in having the outer black-brown 

 border thicker and dentated, and with the lines running halfway 

 through the patch on the veins. 



Below it differs in having a black spot on an orange ground at 

 the end of the discoidal cell in the hind wings, and the inner half 

 of the costa of the same colour ; whereas in T. liagore, both in Klug's 

 plate and in the only specimen in the British Museum, the hind 

 wing below is immaculate. 



$ . Has the apex of the fore wings more rounded ; otherwise above 

 and below it is similar to the male, but with all the colours paler. 



Expanse of wings, <$ $ l T 4 y to l^ s inch.

Klug's plate of the female of T. liagore is undoubtedly a mistake : 

 the insect therein represented does not belong] to this group at all, 

 but is a male of the T. daira group.

White Nile (Petherick). 

 Allied to T. glgcera, Butler. 



c? . Without the deep band on the inner margin of fore wings, 

 with the black outer border of the apical patch deeper, and with an 

 inner band interrupted above the middle; and in the hind wing in 

 having the black macular border less pronounced. 



$ . Much resembles a faded female of 1\ glycera ; the apical
