Show 130 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE GENUS TERACOLUS. [Jan. 18 3 b. Primaries of male with apical patch redder in tint and broader ; secondaries with the veins slightly blackish, and terminating in well-marked black spots. 15. TERACOLUS HEMRA. <3, Callosune hetara, Gerstaecker, in Van der Decken's Reisen in Ost-Afrika, p. 365. n. 7, taf. xv. fig. 2 (1873). Endara. This species is larger than T. regina, and in the marginal spots of secondaries approaches T. ione and allies. 3 c. Primaries of male above without black internal limitation of apical patch ; secondaries black-veined ; below whitish, with base of costa yellowish, black veins, and an oblique, ill-defined, dotted transverse line : female with apical patch of primaries orange, crossed by black spots; secondaries white, with marginal blackish spots; below pinkish ochraceous, with a well-marked, spotted, red-brown, angulated, oblique transverse streak. 16. TERACOLUS PHLEGYAS. Anthocharis phlegyas, Butler, P. Z. S. 1865, p. 431, pl. 25. figs. 3, 3a (1865). Callosune phlegyas, Kirby, Syn. Cat. p. 500. n. 5 (1871). White Nile (Petherick). Type, B.M. It is possible that this may be the species represented by Reiche (Ferret & Gal. Voy. Abyss, pl. 30) as a variety of A. ione; only it is there represented with a black internal limitation of the apical patch, and with no trace of a cross bar on the under surface of the secondaries. 3d. Like the preceding, excepting that the violet apical patch of the male and the orange patch of the female are both larger; secondaries of male below whitish, with base of costa indistinctly ochraceous, veins below not black : female with outer limitation of apical patch almost obliterated by the orange colouring, the black spots small; secondaries white, with the marginal spots small; below very pale brown with the apical area and a well-marked discocellular spot white ; the brown area reticulated with slightly darker hatchings, and limited by an oblique whity-brown streak (not angulated). T. buxtoni. 17. TERACOLUS BUXTONI. Teracolus buxtoni, n. sp., supra. o* $, Between Natal and Delagoa Bay (E. C. Buxton). Type, B.M. This is probably the South-African representative of T. phlegyas. 3e. Size of the preceding two species ; violet apical patch of the bordered on both sides with black ; secondaries below and apex of primaries with a distinct pink tinge; costa of secondaries |
