9. Papilio phorcas congoanus subsp. iiov. 



c?. Considerably larger than p/torcns, the forewing having a length of 60 mm. 

 The markings of the upperside are in all three individuals yellowish green ; the 

 median band is anteriorly broader, the spot between veins 4 and 5 measuring 7 mm. 

 in length, that before it 5i mm., while the spot behind the stem of veins 7 and 8 has 

 a length of 9 mm. The yellowish green basal area of the hindwing does not extend 

 quite so far to the apex of the cell as in phorcas. 



Hah. Lukolele, I'pper Congo, two S S (tijpe) ; and French Congo, one d . 



Whether the peculiar colour of the median band of the upperside is due to damp 

 I do not know ; but, as the three specimens have been caught at two different 

 places by different collectors, the colour may be natural. The chief difference between 

 cOngoanvs and phorcas is the length of the forewing and the form of the median band. 



10. Appias montanus sp. nov. 



6. Allied to A. phoebe Feld. The black apical region of the upperside of the 

 forewing is more extended ; the black spot at the apex of the cell is larger; the hind- 

 wings are creamy white, with a narrow sulphur-yellow border and a few black scales 

 at the anterior nervules. t)n the underside the differences are very much pronounced : 

 the apex of the forewing and the whole hindwing are yellow, not white ; the hindwing 

 has a black dot upon the second discocellular veinlet, and some very faint traces of 

 black jiatches in the outer half. 



Hab. Mount Calaon, Negros, Philippine Islands, 6000 — 7000 feet, February 

 1896 (J. Whitehead). 



jNIr. J. Whitehead sent a good series of this remarkable insect, which was found 

 only at high elevations. 



11. Euryglottis dogaini sj). nov. 



Near to E. aper (Wlk.) and E. davidianus Dogn., but differs as follows : — 



Forewing: the subbasal transverse yellow bands are absent; the broad discal 

 transverse band is similar to that in E. aper, but is almost obliterated. 



Hindivinij : has the white band as in aper, but much more distinct. 



Underside : without bands. 



Abdomen with four longitudinal rows of white spots ; the lateral orange patches 

 of aper are replaced by large white ones. 



Hab. Loja, Ecuador {type), and Columbia. 



12. Herpa meeki Rothsch. sp. nov. 



?. Foi'emintj : two-thirds of wing creamy white, outer edge of this white 

 area rounded ; outer third black, with three white subapical spots ; base and veins 

 in black area bright metallic blue, the blue extending one-third along costa from 

 base, and also costa from white area for 6 mm. into black area is blue ; tip of 

 fringe white. 



Hindwing : white, bordered broadly with black ; base and submarginal border 

 bright blue, the latter colour running along some of the veins for a short way into 

 black area. 



Underside: as above, but hindwing with a white spot at apex.
