Forty-three specimens ; 40 3 , 3 $ . Of these, 34 (5 on July 

 2, 1897, and 1 5 , July 4, 1897, were caught at a pool in the open 

 plain of Eyk in the Haud District. The other captures were as 

 follows: — Bun Feroli, X. of Shebeyli River (West Somaliland), 

 June 10-20, 1895, 1 J ; Odewein, Haud District (dry river-bed), 

 June 21, 1897, 4 tf, 2 $; Bally Maroli, Haud District (open 

 plain), June 25, 1897, 1 o* • The males, even those caught on the 

 same day, vary much in size; in a few of the smaller examples the 

 freckling of the underside is very faint or absent. The three 

 females are all of the yellow form. 



COEIAS MARNOWA Bogeull. 



One female. Hargaisa, April 25-28, 1895. 



Terias hapaee Mab.

TeRACOLI'S El'1-OMPE Klug. 



Seven specimens ; 4 3 , 3 $ . These were captured as follows : — 

 a "dry season" o*, and "intermediate'' $ & $ at Hargaisa, April 

 25-28, 1895 ; a " wet season" <$ in the dry river-bed at Odewein, 

 Haud, June 23, 1897 ; a " wet season" J & $ on the plateau of 

 Edegan, July 9, 1897. 



A remarkable form, apparently of the female of this species, 

 was caught on the Sule River ( Wesl Somaliland), May 29, 1895. 

 The wings have no marginal black except at the apex of the fore 

 wing, and no black at the bases except a slight dusky powdering 

 like that of the " dry season '" male. The crimson apical patch 

 has no chain of aubmarginal dark spots, but an ill-defined inner 

 dark border to the patch is present, widened between the second 

 and third median nervules. Beneath, there is only a very faint 

 indication of the crimson apical patch, but the submarginal chain 

 of dark spots in the fore wing is well-developed, except that there 

 is no spot between the first and second branches of the median. 

 The hind wings show a faint drab irroration, and the submarginal 

 spots are ill-developed. The first submarginal spot of the fore 

 wing, and the first two of the hind wing, together with the discoidal 

 spot of the hind wing, are pale-centred, looking like incipient ocelli.
