BIONOMIC NOTES 
strong, and compared to Pink Bind-weed and to spice. It is also 
noted as “ distinct from that of euterpe, more dusty, less specific,” 
but another specimen “ more spicy than Bind-weed.” 
Terias westwoodii, Boisd. (Jamaica, 1907). Only three males 
were taken; all had a scent, described in one example as “spice 
odour, not quite the same as euterpe” 
Terias libythea , Eabr. (Ceylon, 1908). In several male specimens 
—at least five—a faint scent was detected, which I compared to that 
of Convolvulus arvensis. 
Terias hecabe, Linn. (India, &c., 1903-4, Ceylon, 1908). I failed 
to detect any scent in this common Terias or any of its allied 
forms. 
[Leptalis thermesia, Godart. (Brazil, 1878). Fritz Muller says 
that the male emits a very strong odour disagreeable to human 
noses.] 
[Leptalis astynome, Dalm. (Brazil, 1878). Fritz Muller found a 
similar but much fainter odour, in the male of this species.] 
Leptalis (LJnantia) melite , Linn. (Brazil, 1878). Fritz Muller 
found in this species also that the male had a faint disagreeable 
odour. My experience was different, the only specimen that I took 
(Venezuela, 1907) had a scent like Mignonette. 
Meganostoma cerbera , Feld. (Venezuela, 1907). One out of three 
females taken is noted as having had “a slight, very sweet scent; 
(?) clover.” 
Ixias cingalensis, Moore. (Ceylon, 1908). The nine males ex¬ 
amined all had a sweet, but only moderately strong scent, which 
reminded me of Meadow-sweet. Four females were scentless. 
Hebomoia australis, Butl. (Ceylon, 1908). Nine males, all those 
examined, had a heavy sweet scent, in most of them strong, in all 
decided : my wife and I compared it to the flowers of Mango, or to 
Cinnamon. In three females out of four there was a similar scent. 
[Teracolus ione, Godart. (S. Africa, 1905). Dr. Dixey found the 
scent of the male not always easy to detect, but sweet and flowery.] 
Teracolus protomedia, Klug. (Sudan, 1909). The male has a 
distinct, scarcely agreeable scent, hard to describe. 
Teracolus annae, Wallgr. (S. Africa, 1905). Dr. Dixey some¬ 
times found the scent of the male strong like “Syringa” ( Phila - 
delphus). I found it faint and like that of Ganoris brassicae. 
Teracolus Jialimede , Klug. (Sudan, 1909). A dead male had a 
somewhat disagreeable odour. 
Teracolus phisadia, Godart. (Sfidan, 1909). A dead male had a 
sweet, luscious scent.
