Show 1884.] LEPIDOPTERA FROM KURRACHEE. 511 50. TERACOLUS LIMBATUS. Ter. limbatus, Butler, P. Z. S. 1876, p. 161. Kurrachee, June 1880. One male example. The deep brown, rather broad, sinuated band on the secondaries distinguishes this species from all the others in the group of orange-tips. But I am of opinion it is only an aberrant form of the foregoing. 51. TEBACOLUS BIMBURA. Ter. bimbura, Moore, P. Z. S. 1876, p. 161, pi. vii. f. 3, 4. Kurrachee, December, January, and February. 52. TERACOLUS PERNOTATUS. Ter. pernotatus, Butler, P. Z. S. 1876, p. 159, pi. vii. f. 1. T.farrinus, Butler, P. Z. S. 1876, p. 159, pi. vii. f. 2. Kurrachee, July, August, and September. These cannot be separated, although there are perfectly typical forms of each. The intermediates found on an examination of a long series must convince any one that they are identical. 53. PIERIS MESENTINA. Pap. mesentina, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iii. pi. 270. f. A, B (1782). The pale type appears plentiful from February to May. 54. PIERIS ZEUXIPPE. Pap. zeuxippe, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. pi. 362. f. E, F (1782). One specimen taken by me in 1879, but the date was not recorded. 55. CATOPSILIA PYRANTHE. Pap. pyranthe, Linn. Mus. Ulr. p. 245 (1764). A few specimens taken in March, May, June, and December. 56. CATOPSILIA THISORELLA. Callidryas thisorella, Bois. Sp. Gen. i. p. 609, n. 3 (1836). March to May, common. 57. CATOPSILIA PHILIPPINA. Pap. philippina, Cramer, Pap. Ex. iv. pi. 361. f. C, D (1782). September to January, common. 58. CATOPSILIA CROCALE. Pap. crocale, Cramer, Pap. Exot. i. pi. 55. f. C, D (1779). I took one female in Kurrachee in 1879, now in my collection, date not recorded. I have received another, also a female, from Mr. Murray, taken by him in July 1882. |
