46 ME. F. MOORE ON THE LEPIDOPTEEA 



Teeias contubernalis, n. sp. 



Male. Upperside of the same tint of colour as in T. hecabeoides; 

 band of fore wing of same shape, and with the same outwardly- 

 oblique inner edge of the lower portion ; band on hind wing 

 somewhat narrower. Underside with all the markings more 

 prominently denned than in T. hecabeoides, especially the disco- 

 cellular mark on both wings, which is broader and triangularly- 

 dentate in shape ; the fore wing also has a well-formed brown 

 subapical patch (which is not present in either sex of T. heca- 

 beoides), and the three subbasal ring-spots on the hind wing are 

 larger. Female. Very similar above to T. hecabeoides. Under- 

 side with the markings and subapical patch on fore wing as in male.

This may possibly be only a variety of T. hecabeoides. Both 

 sexes differ as above described from the many specimens of that 

 species collected by Dr. Anderson. No specimens, however, such 

 as here described as T. contubernalis, have come under my ob- 

 servation from any other locality where T. hecabeoides occurs. 



Terias patrttelis, n. sp. (Plate IV. fig. 5, $ .) 



Male. Somewhat smaller and of a paler yellow tint than 

 T. contubernalis; the band on fore wing of similar shape but 

 about half its width throughout, and its inner angles less acute ; 

 hind wing with a decidedly narrower band. Underside with 

 similar but less defined markings ; the discocellular mark nar- 

 rower. Female. Also of smaller size ; fore wing with similar 

 shaped band as in male, being about half the width of that in 

 T. contubernalis ; the band on hind wing also narrower. Under- 

 side as in male.

This is nearest to typical T. nicobarica, which, however, differs 

 beneath in the male having the markings similar to those in 

 T. hecabeoides, and without any trace of the subapical patch. 



Teeiai FEATEBNA, i). sp. (Plate ]V. fig. 0, 3.) 



Intermediate between T. patruelis and T. merrjuiana. Win^s 

 in hoi li sexes comparatively broader than in T. merrjuiana. Male. 

 Differs from typical T, merrjuiana in the fore wing having the 

 marginal band more sinuous and broader at its lower end, the
