upper-side markings, and for the strong yellow tinge of its under-side 
colouring. 
Wallengren iloa. cit.) in 1875 recorded the confirmation of his previous 
suggestion (in 1872), that his Deidamia would prove to be the $ of Evenina^ 
by the capture in the Transvaal (on 27th March 1870) by Mr. N, Person of 
the paired sexes. Mr. W. Morant on 3d March 1872 took near Potchefstroom 
(as he wrote to me) a Deidamia " at the same spot as the Evenina now sent;" 
and I had for some time previously looked upon the two as in all probability 
sexes of the same species. 
The ^ of this beautiful Teracolus, as Wallengren pointed out in his original 
diagnosis, has some affinity to T, Ephyia of Klug {Symb. Phys., t. vi. ff. 9, 
10), but judging from the latter author's figures and brief description, it is a 
far larger butterfly, with a relatively much larger and brighter orange apical 
patch than Ephyia; the Dongolan species is, moreover, entirely devoid of any 
longitudinal blackish striping in both wings, has a distinct black terminal 
disco-cellular spot in the fore-wing, and the white under side of hind-wing 
absolutely without marking of any kind. 
The $ Evenina appears to stand quite alone in the peculiar distribution 
and outline of the basal blackish clouding, especially in the fore-wing, where, 
as above described, it completely fills the discoidal cell up to the subcostal ner- 
vure, and forms a singular truncate projection below and beyond the extremity 
of the cell. 
Evenina seems to be tolerably prevalent in the Transvaal and farther to the 
northward, spreading far into the South Tropical regions, but only penetrates 
sparingly the northern parts of the Cape Colony, and has not been recorded 
from any locality to the southward of the 3otli parallel. There were thirty- 
eight examples in Mr. J. A. Bell's collection, made in Damaraland, 
Localities of Tcracohts Evenina.
