glandulosa, but I failed to breed it from the egg, though I tried 

 three or four times. The young larvae never lived more than three 

 or four days, as I could not keep the plant moist enough for them. 

 The following is a description of the larva : — 



When young, brownish with black head ; when older nearly pea- 

 green, somewhat rough, but no hairs except tiny spines : a pale 

 green line along centre of back ; this line almost disappears as the 

 larva becomes full-grown ; two rows of small black spots along the 

 sides, much fainter in some specimens. When full-grown about 

 an inch long ; somewhat variable in colour. The pupa is some- 

 what variable, being cream-coloured with dark green markings. 



The larvae are much infested with two different kinds of 

 ichneumons. 



" Teeacoltjs ieo. 



This species was not uncommon near Zaila, but I only took this 

 specimen, as I thought they were all of the same species as I had 

 got at Aden. 



" Thbacolus haumedb.' (Plate X. fig. 17.) 



These I call T. acaste, and 1 take them all to be of one species. 

 I bred No. 184, and also a male, from larvae found on Oadaha glan- 

 dulosa. The larva is pea-green, with two small black spots on 

 segment next behind head. It has a cream-coloured line on each 

 side, commencing just before the centre of its length, and running 

 along the rest of the body ; just above this line is a tiny black 

 spot on each segment. When . full-grown it is rather more than 

 an inch long. 



" Teeacolus eupompb. 



This was the commonest Butterfly near Zaila in May and June 

 1895, but there were very few Butterflies of any kind about. I 

 take them to be all of one species. 



. " TERACOLnS PHILLIPSI. .:. 



Given me by Lieut. Sparrow. ' ■ 



" Teeacolus etagoee '. 



These all appear to me to be T. nouna. I cannot think that 

 T. saxeus is anything but the same species. 



" Teeacolus comptus. 

 Given me by Lieut. Sparrow, 



" Teeacolus TEEBUEii. (Plate X. fig. 14.) 

 There is probably more than one species in this series, but I find 

 it difiicult to separate them ; I have therefore sent a good number 



' One of the extreme types of the female ( T. jamesii) is oonfoiinded with 

 T. yerbiirii in Capt. Nurse's notes, being nuuibered 221).
