SCENTS 
511 
Teracolus daira , Klug. (Sudan, 1909). A female had a scent 
like Clove-pink, both in the field and in the house. 
Teracolus omphale , Godart. (S. Africa, 1905). Both I)r. Dixey 
and I found in the males a “ white-flower perfume,” but the former 
usually found a musky constituent in addition. 
[Teracolus acJiine , Cram. (S. Africa, 1905). Dr. Dixey found in 
the males an odour like that of Honeysuckle.] 
Teracolus auxo, Lucas. (S. Africa, 1905). We both found a sweet 
scent in the males, which appeared to my companion to be “heavier” 
than it did to me. 
Teracolus eris, Klug. (S. Africa, 1905). Each of us found a male 
with a distinct flowery scent. 
Nepheronia ceylanica, Feld. (Ceylon, 1908). The male of this 
beautiful butterfly has a more or less distinct scent, which I compared 
to Freesia. A female had a similar scent, though slight, which my 
wife compared to Frangipani. 
Nepheronia hippia , Fabr. (Matheran, India, 1908). A fine male 
had a very slight burnt-sugar scent. 
Fronia cleodora, Hiibn. (S. Africa, 1905). Both Dr. Dixey 
and I found a flowery scent in the males, but, as in so many 
cases, my friend’s conclusions were somewhat more positive than 
mine. 
Euchloe cardamines, Linn. (England, 1905, 1906). In a few 
males out of many tested, I have found a fairly distinct, though faint 
scent, sometimes described as musky, once as very sweet. 
Baptonoura lycimnia ) Cram. (Venezuela, Trinidad, 1907). The 
three males taken all had a strong, sweet, flowery scent, suggesting 
Freesia . Of three females one bears the note “rich sweet scent.” 
There is no doubt whatever about the sex of the individual, neither 
can I suggest by way of explanation that the note really applies to 
another individual. This is perhaps the most marked of a very few 
exceptional cases in which a strong agreeable scent has been observed 
by me in a female Pierine; for some time my own view was that in 
each such instance I had been deceived—possibly by a neighbouring 
flower, or by the scent of another butterfly adhering to fingers or 
forceps. However, in the case of D. lycimnia , Fritz Muller (Brazil, 
1878) observed that the female during courting emitted from her 
genitalia an odour which he described as “ rather faint, though quite 
distinct . . . very different from that emitted by the wings of the 
male.” Fritz Muller found the latter very delicious, but rather faint 
and often hardly distinguishable.
