Two females m the British Museum attributed to Pontia ephyia, Klug, seem to me to belong to this species. 60. TERACOLUS INFUMATUS. Teracolus Infumatus, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 128 (1896). This is a very distinct little species, of which there are two males and two females in the British Museum, from Lake Tanganyika and Lake Nyasa. Tbe general pattern of the black markings in the male is not unlike that of a very heavily-marked T. achlne (Cram.), but the apical patch is distinctly of the T. evippe type. The female is very like that of the latter insect, but exhibits some of the characters of T. achlne l. 61. TERACOLUS HALYATTES. Teracolus halyattes, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 145, pl. vi. fig. 7 (1876). This little species is at present known only from N.E. Natal and the Transvaal, but it seems to be very scarce, and only dry-season specimens have been captured. It combines several characters of the dry forms of T. achlne (Cram.) and T. evlppe-omphale, but is nearer the former. The females in the British Museum, which appear to have been selected by guesswork, are quite similar to those of T. achlne (dry). 62. TERACOLUS ACHINE. Papilio achine, Cramer, Pap.
