the apex of the forewing somewhat sharper, almost rectangular. German and British East Africa. According 
to Sjostedt the butterflies fly about like our Garden Whites in the bean-plantations of the natives of the Kilimandjaro. 
P. distorta Btlr. has an expanse of only 33—35 mm. and is thus much smaller than helice ; the spot diatorta. 
at the end of the cell of the forewing is connected by a black streak along vein 4 with the submarginal spot 
of cellule 3; the hindwing beneath without yellow longitudinal streaks, but with a submarginal line formed 
of black curves or streaks. British East Africa and Somaliland. 
Brassicae Group. 
Only one species of this group occurs in the Ethiopian Region. The forewing has beneath two large black sub¬ 
marginal spots in 2 and 4, in the ? these spots are present also above. 
P. brassicoides Guer. (12 f) has the ground-colour white, on the underside of the hindwing cream -brassicoides. 
yellow; the forewing above with broad black marginal band, gradually narrowed posteriorly, and beneath with 
black veins in the distal area; the hindwing above with triangular black marginal spots at the extremities of 
the veins, connected by a thin marginal line, and beneath with all the veins edged with black. Only known 
from Abyssinia. 
7. Genus: Kueliloe Hbn. 
(Phyllocharis Schatz) 
This genus properly belongs to the Palearctic Region. One species, however, is distributed in East 
Africa as far as Somaliland. 
E. falloui All, (? = seitzi Rob.) (vol. I, pi. 22a). Wings narrow, with white ground-colour; the forewing fallovi. 
on both surfaces with a large triangular black spot at the end of the cell, above with a black marginal band 
and a similar submarginal band, both terminating at vein 4, beneath in the apical part with 4 green transverse 
stripes at the costal margin; hindwing above unmarked, beneath with 6—7 sharply defined, bright green 
transverse bands. Somaliland. 
3. Subfamily: Teracolinae. 
The precostal vein of the hindwing is always present and curved distad. The lower discocellular of the forewing has 
its anterior end obliquely directed distad or forms a right angle with vein 6. This subfamily only embraces three Ethiopian 
genera; among these, however, Teracolus with its numerous and elegant species is a great ornament of the dry and open 
districts of Africa. 
Synopsis of the Genera. 
A. The palpi very short and slender, not visible from above; their last joint vestigial. 8. Calopieris. 
B. The palpi of normal length, distinctly visible from above; their terminal joint pointed. 
a. Only one vein (vein 8) arises from the anterior side of vein 7. 9. Teracolus. 
b. Two veins (veins 8 and 9) arise from the anterior side of vein 7. 10. Eronia. 
8. Genus: Calopieris Auriv. 
This very distinct genus is usually united with Teracolus , but is quite different, especially in the 
structure of the palpi. Antenna short with large, flattened obtuse club. Forewing with 11 veins; the lower 
discocellular deeply incurved, the middle short, straight and obliquely placed, vein 6 short-stalked. — Only a 
single species, rare in collections. 
CXeulimene Klug (16a). White; forewing on both surface with large, rounded black spot at the end eulimene. 
of the cell, above with triangular black apical spot, basally somewhat emarginate, posteriorly bounded by 
vein 3, which encloses 6 red-yellow spots; hindwing above only with small black marginal spots at the 
extremities of the veins; beneath with all the veins bright orange-yellow, a small black dot at the end of the 
cell and black submarginal clots; forewing beneath with a broad red stripe along the basal part of the costal 
margin and orange-yellow veins in the apical part. Nubia. 
9. Genus: Teracolus Sivains. 
The genus Teracolus is also represented in North Africa, Palestine, Persia and East India, but has its 
headquarters in the Ethiopian Region, where the most as well as the largest species occur. The species are 
evidently very susceptible to external influences and have consequently developed both summer (rainy-season) 
and winter (dry-season) forms, as well as numerous geographical races. These forms used to be regarded as 
independent species. In addition the females are often very unlike the males and sometimes polychromatic, 
and this explains the fact that a number of forms have been named and described which it is not possible 
to differentiate by tenable characters.
