Black-brown above, with larger orange patch in secondaries ; otherwise as in the male: expanse of wings 1 inch 6 lines. Tanna, N e w Hebrides, 3rd April, 1875. 32. TERIAS SULPHURATA, n. sp. Nearly allied to T. cesiope, but of a sulphur- rather than a saffron-yellow colour, the black margin of primaries also more perpendicular above the sinus and consequently slightly narrower towards the costa ; markings below not so much pronounced, but otherwise very like : expanse of wings 1 inch 9 lines. Mare, Loyalty group, M a y 1875. (Two examples.) 33. TERIAS VARIATA, n. sp. Only differs from the preceding in its much smaller size : expanse of wings 1 inch 3 to 4 lines. Erromango, N e w Hebrides, 10th May, 1875. Three examples of this form came, but much injured. Mr. Perry remarks that they seem to be very common all over the N ew Hebrides ; he, however, confounds the following small species with them, the differences being slight between the various species in this genus. 34. TERIAS HEBRIDINA, n. sp. (Plate LXVII. fig. 8.) Very like T. senegalensis, but of a more sulphurous tint, smaller, and with the black border of primaries continued as a quadrate spot along inner margin as in T. hecabe : expanse of wings 1 inch 5-6 lines. Tanna, New Hebrides, 23rd April, 1875; Erromango, New Hebrides, 10th May, 1875. Five examples of this species came. It is probably the T. hecabe oi Herrich-Schaffer, and consequently of m y list, although not the same as the Australian example mentioned by m e as iu the British- Museum collection. 35. TERIAS INANATA, U. sp. Only differs from the preceding in the entire absence of markings on the under surface of the wings : expanse 1 inch 5 lines. <$, Mota Island, 5th May, 1875 ; $ , Erromango, 10th May, 1875. 36. TERIAS PUMILARIS, n. sp. (Plate LXVII. fig. 7.) Sulphur-yellow ; primaries with the costal margin blackish, outer margin rather broadly and regularly brown-bordered, the border being bisinuated within the median interspaces ; secondaries with brown spots at terminations of the nervures, sometimes concurrent; body blackish : wings below paler yellow; nervures terminating in black dots ; an annular marking at the terminations of the discoidal cells ; secondaries with an annular marking on the subcostal area near the |
