P%tyy™ (^buxtoni), Butl., than anything else, but the complete absence of any black markings along the inner edge of apical paten woum at once distinguish it. 41. TERACOLUS ANN^;. Thestias annce, Walleugren, K. Sv. Vet.-Akad. Handl.; Lep. Rhop. Caf. p. 66 (1857). _. Tan Anthocharis danae, Hewitson (nee Fabr.), Gen. Diurn Le p. pl. vii. fig. 3 (1847); Trimen, Rhop. Afr. Austral, p 44 (18b^). Teracolus clnerescens, Butler, Cist. Ent. l. p. 172 ^lf>16j- Teracolus wallengrenii, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 157 (187b). Callosune confusa, Westwood, Oates' Matabeleland, p. 348 (1889). This is the Southern representative of T. eupompe (Klug), inhabiting the eastern side of South Africa from Natal to Zambesi . T. cinerescens, Butl., is quite inseparable from T. annce; and there is nothing to distinguish T. confusa (Westw.) from T. wallengrenii, Butl., which is the dry-season form of the species. 42. TERACOLUS WALKERI. Teracolus walkeri, Butler, Ann. Mag. N. H. (5) xiv. p. 403 (1884). The West-African representative of T. eupompe, founded on a male and female from Elephant Bay, West Africa. Although from their underside colouring they are clearly dry-season specimens, the inner black edging of apical patch in the male and the basal black clouding in the female are proportionately heavier than in even the wet-season form of T. annce (Wallgr.). 43. TERACOLUS DANAE. Papilio danae, Fabricius, Syst. Ent. p. 476 (1775). Papilio eborea $ , Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. pl. 352. figs. E & F (nee C & D) (1782). Teracolus sangulnalls, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 158 (1876). Teracolus tapllnl, Swinhoe, Proc. Zool. Soc. p. 444, pl. xl. figs. 8 & 9 (1884). This is the representative of T. eupompe, (Klug) in Central and Southern India and Ceylon, corresponding with T. annce, (Wallgr.) in S. Africa, to which it has a great resemblance. T. sangulnalls and laplinl represent the dry-season form. 44. TERACOLUS EUPOMPE. Pontia eupompe, Klug, Symb. Phys., Ins. pl. vi. figs. 11-14 (1829). Anthopsyche theopompe, Felder, Reis.
