13. Delias clathrata spec. nov. (PI. II. f. 7. 9. <?, 8. ?). . 



c?. Wings, uppcrside, white. Forewing with broad black distal border, 



which extends along costal margin to base and is dentate at the veins, the costal 

 border being also produced backwards on the cross- veius ; two to four white 

 subapical dots. Hindwing with thin black distal border. 



UHch'rstde.— Forewing fur the greater part black, a broad white discal 



band, occupying nearly the whole hinder margin, strongly narrowing costad, curved 

 costad in front, incised distally on the veins, uppermost partition almost separate ; 

 a submarginal series of spots, golden yellow, the upper three larger, the others 



minute, the first and second farther from distal margin than the others. 



Hindwing white, a yellow spot near base behind costa ; base, band beyond that 

 sjwt, abdominal area and a narrow distal border black, a large median area also 

 black, separated into patches by the white veins; base and abdominal area densely 

 dusted over with greenish yellow scales : distal border widest at the veins. 



?. Like cf, but the black colour of the distal marginal area more extended. 



Hub. Owgarra, north of head of Aroa River, May 1903. 



A series. 



14. Delias microsticha spec. nov. (PI. II. f. 18. 19, S S). 



S. Wings, upperside, white. Forewing : costal edge and a broad distal 



border black ; this border gradually narrowed posticad, reaching as far proximad 

 as base of R' and being only I to li mm. broad at SM^, concave proximally, 

 slightly incised at the veins. Hindwing with thin black distal border. 



Underside purplish olive-black, glossy on hindwing and at apex of forewing. 



Forewing : a broad streak in cell, gradually narrowed to base, two spots 



beyond apex of cell, and a series of subapical respectively submarginal dots. 



Hindwing : a basal costal spot crimson ; a spot in middle of costal margin, a 

 row of submarginal dots, a spot in cell beyond middle, and a row of thin short 

 streaks on disc yellow. 



¥. Not known. 



Hab. Owgarra, north of head of Aroa River, May 1903. Several specimens. 



15. Delias mira spec. nov. (PI. II. f. 12. S, 13. ?). 



i. Wings, upperside. Forewing black, a white subbasal patch from cell 



to hinder margin, bordered with sparser white scaling ; a row of four small 



white subapical dots. Hindwing white, apex black, this area extending nearly 



as far as cell, but being proximally densely shaded over with white, distal edge 

 black also posteriorly. 



Underside. Forewing black, greyish white at hinder margin from base to 



distal angle, a greyish white costal sjwt beyond apex of cell : a series of five 



golden yellow submarginal spots. Hindwing : costal edge white at base, a 



yellow patch behind this white border, limited by an oblicpiely longitudinal black 

 streak extending from middle of base to middle of costal margin, a yellowish white 

 costal dash separating this streak from the black distal border of the wing, which 

 is widest at the veins ; a black discal band just beyond apex of cell, narrowest 

 at M', widest behind, not reaching up to SO^ ; between this band and the black 

 margin a large pale yellow patch ; abdfjminal fold blackish, shaded with olivaceous 

 yellow.
