Yerbury believes that two species are confused under this name.- A. G. B. |! Col. Yerbury enumerates another species-" The Phantom Skipper"-often seen but never taken.-A. G. B. ^| The Adenese representative of the Indian P. evanidus. Some further Notes on Larvae from Aden. Teracolus pleione and T. acaste both feed on Caclaba glandulosa; T. protomedia, T. yerburii, and T. evagore on a plant that I have been unable to determine. T. dynamene and phisadia, food-plant Salvadora persica. The pupa? of T.yleione, acaste, and protomedia (PI. X. fig. 15) have considerable resemblance in shape; and it is possible that further study of the pupal stage may lead to a groupiug of males with black nervures to their wings. The pupae of T. dynamene,phisadia, yerburii, and evagore are of an altogether different form. Synchloe glauconome, food-plants Dipterygium glaucum and Cleome paradoxa. |
