I am indebted to Mr. W. Doherty for four male specimens of the 

 true 8. hypselis, Godart, from Java. The above given differences 

 between it and the North-East Indian and Malay Peninsula form may 

 appear to be trivial, but if specimens of the two species are com- 

 pared, it will be seen at a glance that the coloration of the underside 

 is totally different.

Description : Male. Upperside, both icings pure white, all the 

 veins black. Forewing with the base of the costa very faintly tinged 

 with ochreous; a short broad longitudinal subcostal black band, 

 which is followed by two broad approximating black lines crossing 

 the discoidal cell obliquely from the costa to the median nervule, 

 and enclosing a narrow space thickly dusted with black scales, these 

 two lines are continued as a single line to the orange anal area of 

 the hindwing ; a strongly outwardly-curved black line crosses the 

 cell, its anterior end joined to the outermost of the two lines crossing 

 the cell described above ; a narrow black line defining the disco- 

 cellular nervules, which touches the last- described curved line at its 

 middle ; immediately beyond the disco-cellular line are a pair of 

 broad black lines from the costa to the third median nervule, enclos- 

 ing posteriorly a narrow space of the white ground-colour, continued 

 across both wings as a single narrow line until it also becomes lost 

 in the orange anal area of the hindwing ; an outwardly curved black 

 line crosses the disc of the forewing, very widely dilated anterior 

 to the lower discoidal nervule, forming in fact a wedge-shaped 

 figure with its base on the costa, this line is also continued across the 

 hindwing till it reaches the orange anal area, a sinuous very broad 

 black lino crosses the outer discal area of the forewing from the 

 costa (where it is widely dilated inwardly into a large square-shaped 

 patch) to the inner margin ; followed by five broad black lines which
