Mentaxya albifrons, Hiibn. „ „ All that can be said of the three others is that one is a Hypenld, a second a Macaria, and the third probably the remains of some form of Pyralid. In this series, although it includes no new species, there are several forms of interest:-The example of Catochrysops osiris measuring only ten millimetres in expanse of wings; whilst it is satisfactory to receive typical males of Teracolus eris; a female form of Teracolus heuglini var. thruppi approaching the female of T. daira, respecting which it will be worth while to make a few 1 This form has the ashy-whitish basal area of T. aurigineus in the males; the discal black band of the primaries varies as in that species, and that of the secondaries is represented by black dashes on a grey ground, as is often the case in T. aurigineus, but the under surface is ochraceous with all the markings weakly defined : it may be the dry phase of T. ansorgei. |
