1896.] FROM ARABIA AND SOMALILAND. 247 
of specimens. Most of them, I think, are 7. yerburiz. I bred this 
species from larve found on plant No. 4 (this plant could not be 
identified at B. M.) at Shaik Othman. The following is a 
description of the larva :— 
Head orange, lateral stripes of the same colour. Ground-colour 
of back plumbeous, a darker stripe along centre, the whole faintly 
dotted with white. Below the lateral orange stripe there is a 
slight protuberance on each segment, black in colour with white 
dots. The whole larva is covered with short bristly hair. 
Pupa :—ground-colour pale lilac, with a purplish stripe along 
centre and yellow lateral stripes. 
From all the pup emerged typical 7’. yerburii, except from one 
which produced 7’, nowna, much to my surprise. I did not notice 
that one of the larvee was different from the others, so the larva of 
T. nouna must closely resemble that described above *. 
“‘ TERACOLUS DAIRA, 2 (for dg, see footnote), 
I have never come across this form on the Arabian side. 
‘TPRACOLUS ANTEVIPPE. 
Given me by Lieut. Sparrow. 
‘¢ CATOPSILIA FLORELLA. 
These I cannot properly separate. I bred some Cutopsilie from 
larve found feeding on plant No. 5 (Cassia sp.? could not be 
satisfactorily identified at B. M.). ‘The following is a description of 
the larva :-— 
Ground-colour pea-green ; a black, interrupted, but very distinct 
lateral stripe, and below it a broader stripe of an orange-yellow 
colour. The larva is rough, but not hairy; the whole of the back 
and head are covered with minute black dots, Length, when full- 
grown, about 13 inches. 
The pupa is green. 
One came out typical florella 2 ; two others more like pyrene. 
‘* BHLENOIS MESENTINA, var. LORDACA. 
Swarms at Shaik Othman and in the desert generally. This, 
both in the larval and imago stages, seems to be the same as 
B. mesentina. The larve feed on several plants, are gregarious, 
hundreds being found on a single bush. They are greenish, slightly 
hairy ; head black, dotted with white; a broad chocolate-coloured 
stripe on each side, faintly dotted with white. Some of them 
remained only five days in the pupal stage. 
*¢ BELENOIS LEUCOGYNE. 
I did not find this species at all common, and only got two or 
three specimens. 
1 Starved examples of this species were separated and numbered from 252- 
257 with the note :—‘ This appears to be something different from JT. yerbwrii.” 
The males of 7. daira were confounded with 7. yerburii.—A. G. B,
