and probably represent the T. cesiope of De Niceville. Major Yerbury 

 says of it, " Terias rotundularis not uncommon at Murree and along 

 the hills to Thundiani in September. T. asiope apud Swinhoe." 



I think there must be a slight error in the above note, for 

 Col. Swinhoe knows T. purreea quite well ; at the same time he may 

 have labelled the insect in haste. T. cesiope is not known from 

 India.

With this is a male, taken at Bugnoter ou the 20th September, 

 and which I think must be a very abnormal specimen of the same 

 species. It wants the black border, and therefore, on the upper 

 surface, resembles T. excavata ; certainly, with only one example 

 before me, I do not feel justified in separating it,

We previously only possessed males of this species ; it has been 

 incorrectly named T. Iceta for Major Yerbury ; he says that it is 

 rare, two specimens having been taken at Chuttar on the Murree 

 and Rawal Pindee road. Terias Iceta is a species in which the 

 ajiical area of the primaries and whole of secondaries on the under 

 surface are of a bright rusty-ieddish colour ; in the male of T. vagans 

 they are lemon-yellow, and in the female of a sericeous creamy- 

 whitish tint ; in T. jcegeri they are Hesh-tinted in both sexes.

S $ , Chittar Pahar, Lumbahdun, iiOOO feet ; 28th November, 

 1885. 



The specimens of this species are not perfectly typical, the 

 colouring of the under surface being of a nearly yellow tint instead 

 of flesh-pink ; the third black spot of the primaries, in the male 

 specimens, is expanded so as to reach the inner margin, as in the form 

 from Beloochistan and Kutch ; but the female has three isolated spots 

 as in the type form. 



"A single specimen, Campbellpore, 29th June, 1885; found 

 commonly in the Chittar Pahar near Lumbahdun, Kala Dilli, &c., at 

 the end of November and beginning of December." — J, W. Y.
