290. (26.) Teracolus Microcale, Butler.

J White, with rather large orange a'pieal fateh hordered rather widely 
throughout with hlachish. Fore-wing : base rather broadly irrorated 
with blackish ; apical orange of six divisions, being outwardly deeply 
pierced by black nervules. Hind-wing : a series of rather large blackish 
nervular hind-marginal spots, of which the three upper ones are con- 
fluent. U^'DER SIDE. — White. Fore-wing: a terminal disco -cellular 
black dot ; apical orange of upper side showing faintly through. Hind- 
wing : a terminal disco- cellular black dot attached to a preceding small 
orange spot. 
$ Similar, smaller ; luith apical orange narroiv, curved, open at its 
lower extremity so as to touch lohite field hencath third median nervule. 
Hind-tving : hind-marginal spots smaller, more separate. Under side. 
— Hind-iving and apical patch of fore-wing creamy tinged ivith yellowish, 
rery thinly irrorated loith hroionish. Fore-wing : base tinged with pale 
sulphur-yellow. Hind-iving : a faint trace of a brownish discal elbowed 
bar across median nervules. 
This little species comes perhaps closer to the Evippe group than any other, 
and is noticeable for the wide even dark bordering of the apical patch on all 
sides. Neither sex has any longitudinal black markings in either wing. Mr. 
Butler founded the species on a and a $ from the Atbara (Soudan), and my 
description is made from those type specimens and from a second $ , ticketed 
" Orange River," placed with the others in the British Museum collection. I 
did not ascertain who had signified the locality of the last-named example, hut 
I could detect no difference of any importance between it and the type $ .
