Tliis is apparently a common species. Weiske fouiiil only S6. Among 

 Meek's material there are a number of ? ? , which agree with the SS except in 

 the more extended black distal borders of the npperside and the slightly shorter 

 forewing. 



0. Delias kummeri f. ligata nov. (I'l. II. f. 20. S). 



(S ? . Among the long series of kummeri there is a great number of specimens 

 in which the red postdiscal line of the underside of the hindwing is continuous 

 with the red spot situated at the costal margin near the end of C. This red 

 line is more or less heavily bordered with black proximally. A few specimens 

 stand intermediate between the two forms. 



6. Delias bornemanni.

 f. 2. cJ (1901). 



There are four S S and three ? ? in the collection. The sexes are ])ractically 

 the same in pattern. The forewing is a little shorter in the ? than in the S, 

 and bears three or four very small white siibapical dots on the npperside. The 

 black distal area of both wings is wider in the ? . The red spots of the underside 

 of the hindwing are not quite constant in size. 



7. Delias dives sjiec. nov. (Pi. II. f. U. S). 



S. Wings white on M^^jprs/rt't-. Forewing black from apex of cell distad, 



costal edge black down to base, white area rounded distalh', extending close to 



apex of iSM". Hindwing with very thin black distal border, not exceeding 



1 mm. in width. 



Underside, olive-black, somewhat purplish, especially the hindwing, slightly 



glossy olive-green. Forewing : a broad pale yellow band before middle 



anteriorly, just proximally of cross-veins, gradually widening behind, not reaching 



costal edge; four submarginal dots also pale yellow, the second the largest. 



Hindwing : median band deeper yellow than on forewing, terminating behind at 

 a large scarlet abdominal marginal spot ; moreover, a submarginal row of five 

 scarlet spots, rounded, nearly touching fringe. 

 ¥ . Not known. 



Hah. Owgarra, north of head of Aroa River, May 1903. One specimen. 



8. Delias cuningputi (PI. II. f. 5. 6. ? ? .)

 Delias cuningputi, Grose-Smith, I.e. t. 8. f. 9. 10 (1901). 



Among a series of specimens of this species are several ? ? which differ 

 markedly from the cJcJ on the underside, the forewing being yellow from base 

 to disc, and the white median band of the hindwing being abbreviated. The 

 black distal borders of the npperside are wider than in the 6.
