Floricola, distinguished by its broader, inwardly angulated apical border of 
fore-wing, and its very strongly marked imder side.^ 
I have examined the $ Mauritian and South- African examples on which 
Mr. Butler founded his T. Ceres, as well as two $ s, ticketed " South Africa " 
and " Natal," which in the British Museum collection are associated with the 
two $ s. The interruption of the border of the fore-wing above the posterior 
angle, which Mr. Butler specially notes as a distinguishing character, is in 
neither $ complete. 
The Madagascar specimens of Floricola in the South-African Museum are 
more like the South-African than the Mauritian examples, especially the $ s, 
one of which is of an unusual paleness, inclining to whitish. 
This appears to be a rare form in South Africa. I took two $ s near 
D' Urban, JSTatal, in February and April 1867, and the late Colonel Tower 
brought one ^ from St. Lucia Bay later in the same year. Colonel Bowker 
has sent only two examples (both from D' Urban), taken respectively in 1878 
and 1879. My captures were made in the Botanic Garden, where several 
species of Terias frequented the flowers of Vinca rosea. 
In Mauritius I found Floricola numerous, and generally distributed about 
grassy waste spaces, in company with its congener Pulcliella.

Closely allied to T. floricola, Boisd. Chrome-yellow ground-colour 
hright hut rather paler ; hlacJc border in fore-iuing only, hut hroader supe- 
riorly ; nervular hind-mai^ginal sjjots in hind-wing la^^ger. Fore-wing : 
black border shaped much as in Floricola, but considerably broader 
apically, and presenting a marked angulated prominence inwardly on 
third median nervule (much as in Heecdje, Linn.), as well as a usually 
rather more pronounced small projection on first median nervule. 
Hind-iving : terminal nervular spots considerably enlarged and thinly 
elongated laterally. Under side. — Markings as in Floricola, hut much 
more strongly marked, especially the stihapical ferruginous patch of fore- 
wing, which is hroad and dark (more particidarly in $), and the irre- 
gidar transverse discal streak of hind-wing. Fore-wing : terminal disco-
