187. Lycaena tantalus Trim . — “ One specimen taken by Mr. 
A. T. Cooke. This specimen was submitted to Mr. Trimen and 
identified by him.” — H. L. L. Feltham. 
201. Mylothris ruppelli, Koch.- — The two Transvaal specimens 
from Shilouvane, Zoutpansberg District, are not as brightly coloured 
as the series in the Museum Collection from West Pondoland. They 
are also of smaller size. I am not aware of other localities, except the 
above in the Transvaal. W. L. Distant also records it from the same 
district. 
217. Teracolus eris (King.) — The specimens from Bandolierskop 
represent an extreme form of the dry phase. The golden yellow apical 
spots are reduced to three very small greyish spots, while the whole 
apical patch is reddish brown with a violaceous gloss, which is 
strongest towards inner margin of same. In hindwing there is no 
trace of the hind marginal spots, while the costal band and inner 
hind marginal border of forewing are as well developed as in the wet 
phase of the species. Dnderside of hindwing and apical portion of 
forewing exhibit the red sand colour common to the dry phase of 
the Teracoli. The black spots on underside of forewing and the 
discoidal spot of hindwing are very much reduced. 
220. Teracolus ione yhlegyas Butl. — These five specimens from 
Komatipoort (Jeffery) are all females of the dry phase-, one of which 
has the primaries light lemon yellow with the black spots crossing 
apical patch, better pronounced, while another specimen belongs to 
a form not yet described. Instead of a brighter orange-yellow apical 
patch, crossed with blackish spots, as figured by Miss Sharpe in her 
monograph of the Teracoli, plate 22, fig. la, this specimen has the 
apical patch reddish brown inwardly bordered by a fairly broad black 
band and crossed by five whitish spots between the veins. The veins 
crossing the black border are of the same colour as the apical patch. 
The underside does not differ from the typical wet phase females.
