1885.] LEPIDOPTERA FROM SOMALI-LAND. !!?> 



with less strongly-defined markings. Expanse of wings, S ? 

 37 millim. 



One male and three females. — Thrupp. 



Two males. Duderi, 26th April, \%M.—Yerbury. 



Var. b. Still smaller, the male with apical patch as in the type, 

 but more broadly bordered internally with sulphur-yellow ; black 

 marginal edging only indistinctly seen with the help of a lens ; 

 under surface of primaries as in var. a, of secondaries pale pink 

 with base of costa orange : the female with the apical patch much 

 paler than in var. a, the marginal spots wanting, the discal spots 

 ill-defined ; the markings of the secondaries ol|solete, the markings 

 of the under surface faintly indicated in olivaceous, instead of deep 

 brown, the secondaries pink-tinted. Expanse of wings, c? $ 

 3.5 millim. 



One male, two females, 2nd Jaiuiary.- Thrupp. 



The three forms which I here associate under one specific name 

 are doubtless representatives of the three supposed species taken 

 by Col. Swinhoe in Bombay, viz. T. pseudevanthe, T. titea, and 

 T. eucharis ; whether they are distinct or not can be decided only 

 upon the spot by careful successive experiments in breeding. There- 

 fore, whilst I refrain from asserting that the Indian types are mere 

 varietal forms, I equally refrain from separating as species the three 

 gradational types found in Somali until more is known concerning 

 them. The male of the form taken by Major Yerbury (var. a) 

 somewhat resembles King's figure of T. liagore S ; his supposed 

 female is a male of a distinct species allied to T. glycera. 



42. Teracolus nouna. 



Anthocharis nouna, Lucas, Expl. Alger., Zool. iii. p. 350, u. 14, 

 pi. 1. fig. 2 (1849). 



One male. Bunder Maria, 27th April, 1884. 



This is evidently a wide-ranging species. Major Yerbury obtained 

 only one example on the Somali coast ; it agrees in all respects with 

 males from Aden, excepting that the orange subapical dash on the 

 under surface of the primaries is a little less red in tint. 



43. Catopsilia hybl^ea.

 d $ . More than eighty miles south of Berbera. — Lort-Fhillips. 

 Three males and one female obtained.

S 2 . Less than eighty miles south of Berbera. — Lort-Phillips. 

 These two species of Catopsilia were taken with the fingers whilst 

 settling near water ; of the latter species only a single rather worn 

 pair was obtained.
