Dr. Butler has here, as elsewhere, founded his many species on characters which are subject to seasonal variation, aud they therefore merge imperceptibly into one another. The most heavily-marked form is T. limbatus, from Ceylon and Southern India, but the slightly broader border in secondaries is, in m y opinion, much too unstable to be regarded as a specific distinction. T. blmbura represents the normal dry-season colouring. T. etrida is the Asiatic representative of T. evlppe, and appears to range practically throughout India and Ceylon, and there is one specimen in the British Museum from Fao. 57. TERACOLUS EVIPPE.
