than two and a half inches in expanse. The reverses 

 of the female (which is illustrated) and of the male are 

 of a grey tinge, in place of the rather bright yellow 

 shade of the Cheiranthi, sprinkled over with fine black 

 dots. The apical patch is also grey, and both sexes 

 have long black spots on the fore-wings. The upper 

 surface is cream-white ; the female has two distinctly 

 marked long black spots on the fore-wings ; the male 

 having none. The black apical markings are similar in 

 both sexes, and a small black spot is seen on the inner 

 margin of the hind-wing of both male and female. 



There are no observations to record on the caterpillar 

 and pupa, as the specimens of the fly (one of which is 

 illustrated) were netted ; but very possibly larv^ may be 

 found gregariously with the Cheiranthi in like manner 

 to the Callirrhoe and Atalanta, or the Plexippus and 

 Chrysippus. 



The specimens taken were netted about 500 feet 

 above the sea.
