of the forewing, abore, is wider, and tlie liiiidwing lias a broad black distal border, 

 which slightly widens costally. There are often white snbmargiual dots on both 

 wings, those of the liindwing being slightly jiinkish. The white area is feebly

? . The black borders to the upperside of the wings are broader in the ? than 

 in the c?, the forewing bearing a row of white, or yellowish white, submarginal dots 

 and the white area being slightly washed with yellow. The underside is variable. 

 Some ? ? resemble the c?, but there is always a yellowish patch at hinder margin 

 of forewing beyond middle and a vestige of a band across the disc of hindwing. In 

 a second form of the ? the cell of the forewing and the whole area behind it are 

 yellow, nsnally washed with orange ; in a third form there is, besides, a sharply 

 defined yellowish white discal band on hindwing, the inner edge of the band being 

 straight and the outer edge curved. 



13. Delias callima spec. nov. 



cT. Palpns, a line behind eye, and the breast greenish yellow, npperside of 

 thorax smoky white, abdomen white. 



Wings, ?ipp<'rsit/e, white, with a black distal border ; this border extending on 

 forewing to near ujiper angle of cell, the costal edge being all black; on hindwing 

 the border widest in middle, tapering in front and behind, contiguous with an ashy 

 grey band, which is the proximal portion of tlie black border covered with white 

 scaling. 



Underside. Forewing : apical half black, the black colour being more 



extended than above, entering cell ; a yellow spot just proximally of fork SC* S half- 

 moou-shaped, variable in size, often followed by some more yellow dots which are 



more distal in position. Hindwing : black, with a greenish yellow spot at base ; 



a snbbasal streak behind ( ', reappearing at apex, and a spot in angle S('= — R', usually 

 with some smaller spots near it, bluish white, very variable in extent, a jiatch of 

 whitish blue scales before middle of abdominal fold ; between this patch and the 

 white subcostal spot there is a rufescent vermilion baud ; a second band of the same 

 colonr on disc, parallel to distal margin, more or less broken up into halfmoons, 

 spots C — SC- the largest, the baud variable in width, sometimes reduced to a line, 

 which is occasionally widely interrupted. 



?, Very different from <?. Body more extended greenish yellow. 



AVings, v.ppcrsidc. Forewing : black, basal area washed with white and 



yellowish green; a chrome-yellow band on disc extending from S('' to M", widest 



in middle, variable in width, last s])ot rarely absent. Hindwing washed with 



greenish yellow from base to ajiex of cell. 



Underside. Forewing : somewhat greyish at base ; base of M white, discal 



baud chrome-yellow, much wider than above, with an additional spot situated behind 

 M-. Hindwing : as in S. 



Length of forewing : (J, 23 to 28 mm. ; ? , 22 to 2() mm.
