S. 1884, p. 440, pi. 40. figs. 8, 9. Bombay, in coll. B. M. ; Poona, May. I took "two examples in Bombay in 1877, a coloured drawing of one of which I still have ; and Mr. Taplin sent me one captured last May, from Poona. 130. TERACOLUS PERNOTATUS. T. pernotatus, Butler, P. Z. S. 1876, p. 159, pi. 7. fig. 1. Poona, October and November. 131. TERACOLUS ETRIDA. Anthocharis etrida, Boisd. Sp. Gen. i. p. 576 (1836). Poona, November, January, February, and June ; Ahmednuggur, November; Bombay, September. 132. TERACOLUS BIMBURA. T. bimbura, Butler, P. Z. S. 1876, p. 161, pi. 7. figs. 3-4. Poona, October and January. Butler's type came from Bimbur in Cashmir ; but the underside of the secondaries has such extraordinary markings, and is so different from anything else in the genus, there is no mistaking the insect. 133.

The above three are very closely allied to each other. They are probably seasonal varieties of each other, but with a very long series I have been able to separate them without leaving any intermediates. PAPILIONINJE. 136. ILIADES POLYMNESTOR. Pap. polymnestor, Cram. Pap. Exot. i. pi. 53. figs. A, B (1779). Matheran; Parbutti hill, Poona, November ; would probably be found on the sides of most of the larger mountains in the district. |
