which some ray-like spots extend inwai-aiy along the nervulcs, which give the aijpeanince of two wliitish 

 spots surrounded by black near apex) Ijlack ; the upper median nervule is also completely shaded with Mack. 

 Posterior wings with the basal half from base, beneath cell to nearly the upper median nervule, deep orange- 

 yellow% the outer margin black,— narrowed towards anal angle,— the extreme base, the subcostal and median 

 nervures, and the subcostal nervules dark bluish-grey, the same colour preceding the black margin near 

 apex. Anterior wings beneath creamy-white, the costal area, margins of cell, apex and outer margin 

 fuscous, beyond cell are four whitish spots, and three subapical sulphureous spots, the base of costal area 

 is also shaded with sulphureous. Posterior wings dark sulplnu-eous, the anal area bright orange ; outer 

 margin fuscous, enclosing a large sulphureous spot between the subcostal nervules, and a smaller one 

 beneath it, the margin also inwardly becomes somewhat broken and macular from the upper median 

 nervule to anal angle ; costal, subcostal and median nervures, subcostal and upper median nervules 

 infuscated. Body and legs more or less concolorous with wings. 



Female. This sex has not been seen by the writer, but has been described and figured by 

 Vollenhoven as the male. The wings above are much infuscated, and the orange colour of the posterior 

 wings extends quite to the upper median nervule, the outer margin of these wings being broadly fuscous 

 to the orange anal area, and emits a short fuscous extension into that area. 



Exp. wings, ^ , 50 to 54 millim.

A. iDiialia is closely allied to A. lai, Doubleday (a species which will also probably be 

 discovered in this fauna), but the narrower dark margin on the under surface of the posterior 

 wings will alone distinguish it. 



7. Appias andersoni. (Tab. XXXIII., tig. 2<?.)

Male. Wings above creamy-white ; anterior wings with the apical area — from less than midway between 

 end of cell and apex of wing and narrowing to outer angle — blackish ; neuration more or less blackish ; basal 

 half of costal area more or less shaded with greenish ; posterior wings with the outer margin Idackish, the 

 neuration more or less darkened. Anterior wings beneath creamy-white, costal area and apex ochraceous, 

 with a greenish tinge, the last with three obscure paler subapical spots ; upper and lower cellular margins 

 broadly blackish ; beyond cell the colour is blackish, neuration more or less blackish, the two upper median 

 nervules darkest and connected with a transverse black spot ; outer margin pale blackish. Posterior wings 

 beneath bright orange-yellow, the neuration blackish ; apex of cell and two large elongate spots beyond cell 

 pale sulphureous ; apical and outer margins and a transverse fascia extending from discoidal nervule to 

 about lower median nervule obscure olivaceous. Body above more or less concolorous with wings ; abdomen 

 beneath creamy-white ; thorax and legs more or less concolorous with wings.

Hab. — Malay Peninsula; Perak (Kiinstler — Calc. Mus.). 



This species belongs to the section of the genus which has been geuerically separated by 

 Mr. Moore, under the name of Huphiua ; it is allied to the Javan A. nama, Moore, and is 

 represented by a single example in a hue collection of Perak buttertiies belonging to 

 Dr. Anderson, of the Calcutta Museum, which collection has been most considerately placed 

 in my hands for study and comparison.
