 patch bordered within by a black band ; a small black discocellular spot : hindwing 

 with a narrow black almost macular marginal band. Female yellowish-white, basal 

 area grey : forewing with the crimson patch traversed by a curved black narrow 

 macular band ; a larger black discocellular spot and a lower discal speckled spot : 

 hindwing with a black discocellular spot, a discal row of spots, and a marginal band. 

 Underside yellowish-white ; apex and hindwing sHghtly suffused with pale ochreous- 

 yellow : forewing with an oblique subapical reddish fascia traversed by black spots ; 

 discocellular spot and discal macular band as in upperside ; the discocellular spot on 

 hindwing of both sexes centred with red, the discal spots in female reddish-brown.

CALLOSUUE SAHGUINALIS. 



Teracolus sanguinalis, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. Loud. 1876, p. 158. 



Male. Much like a small example of C. Danae : forewings more acuminate, the 

 carmine apical patch rather brighter ; the grey colouring confined to the extreme base 

 and costa, not extending into the hindwing ; the marginal spots of hindwing better 

 separated and rather smaller. Underside of forewing redder on the apical area, th3 

 angulated series of spots larger and redder ; the spots upon the margin near external 

 angle small and indistinct : hindwing white, slightly creamy, with the outer border 

 very feebly ochreous ; the spots, which are arranged as in C. Danae, are greyish- 

 brown ; the spot at end of the cell reddish, with a narrow brown margin. Female 

 diflPers from same sex of G. Danae in its smaller size, more sulphur-tinted colouration, 

 the regular and much paler basal grey suffusion, which is almost invisible on the 

 hindwing, the much brighter apical carmine patch, the absence of the spot near 

 external angle of forewing, the minute character of the discal spots of hindwing, and 

 the better defined and narrower outer border : forewing beneath with the apical area 

 redder, the basal area yellower, and withoiit a terminal grey streak crossing the cell ; 

 the black spots smaller : hindwing beneath distinctly ochreous, with the discal spots 

 reddish, irrorated with black and grey.

CALLOSTIITE LIMB ATA (Plate 49, Fig. 5, S)- 



Teracolus limbatus, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 1867, p. 161. 



Male. Upperside white ; basal and costal area greyish : forewing with an 



oblique black-bordered orange-red apical patch, traversed by black veins ; a black dot 



at end of the cell : hindwing with a marginal sinuous black band. Female duller
