Delias weuikei Ribbe, Intsekloi-Biiisc xvii, p. 329 (1000) (AroaR .). 

 Delias mirijica Grose-Smith, /..-. t. 9. f. 9. 10. ^ (1901). 



Mr. Grose-Smith erroneously reuamed the present species, while he intended 

 to give a new name to Ribbe's Tachyi-is weiskei, which is also a Delias. Tiie 

 Delias iveiskei being described by Ribbe before the Tnrlnjris /irislcri, the latter 

 must be renamed, which we have done below. 



The ? of D. iceiskei diflers from the c? in the much broader black distal 

 borders to the u]>perside, the more obtnse forewiug, and the presence of two or 

 three very small white subapical dots on the upperside of the forewing, these 

 dots being seldom vestigial in the S.

The black distal area of the upperside of the forewing is broader behind 

 in the ? than in the S, and includes two or three very small yellowish white 

 subapical dots : the hindwing has a broad black distal holder, varying individually 

 from 2 J to 4 mm. One of our three ? ? is slightly washed with greenish yellow 

 above, and bears some whitish spots in the black border of the hindwing. The 

 white median band of the underside of the hindwing is abbreviated, as in the 

 ? of D. cuningputi, and the yellow submarginal spots are very much smaller 

 than in the S-

 Delias weiskei, Grose-Smith, l.r. t. 8. f. 6. 7. 8. (J ? (1901). 



This is a Delias, not a Tachijris. Its name must be changed on account of 

 Delias iveiskei, which stands first. See above. No. 9. 



U. Delias itamputi (PL II. f. lo. 11. ? ?). 



Delias ilamimli Ribbe, Imekten-Burse xvii. p. 3.30 (1900) (Aroa R.) ; Grose-Smith, I.e. t. 8. f. 7. 8. (J 

 (1901). 



The ? is widely different from the S. I give here a description of it. 



?. Wings, upperside, black. Forewing: a proximal area, widest behind, 



ill defined, not quite reaching to base of W greenish yellow ; a subapical band of 



five patches chrome-yellow, middle ones more or less prolonged. Hindwing 



greenish yellow from base to apex of cell, the area not sharply defined. 



Underside black, somewhat glossy, especially on hindwing. Forewing : 



greenish yellow, basal area smaller than above, subapical band broader and 



longer. Hindwing : a basal costal patch greenish yellow, in one ? a spot of 



the same colour also at apex of cell (just vestigial in the specimen of which the 

 underside is here figured), a submarginal greyish white line parallel with edge of 

 wing, more or less interrupted at the veins.
