PIERID/F.. 29 



pale-yellow oclu*eous ; hind-marginal spots larger than on 

 upper-side ; portion of c(3sta above costal nervure orange-red. 



? . Varies from dull ivliitish-ochreoiis to dull orange- 

 ochreous ; spots on hind-margins larger than in $. Under- 

 side. — Similar to $ , but ground-colour of fore-wing dull 

 yellowish, instead of white. 



Variety A, of $ (Coll. Brit. Mus.) — Upper-side like the 

 ordinary speciuiens, except that the marginal spots are larger. 

 Under-side. — Very distinctly marked, and richly-coloured. 

 Fore-wing : the apical yellow deeper than in ordinary ex- 

 amples, three black dots defining its inner edge. Hind-wing : 

 three of the hind-marginal spots wanting, but an inner 

 parallel row of small spots between extremity of discoidal 

 cell and hind-margin. From Natal. 



Variety B, of $ . — Fore-wing white, with the usual hind- 

 marginal spots. Hind-toing : bright sulphur -yellow ; seven 

 marginal spots, — the additional one being at extremity of 

 first sub-costal nervule. Underside. — Yellow colouring 

 paler and brighter than in ordinary specimens. Fore-wing : 

 ground-colour white ; no orange-red at base, but only a slight 

 ochrey-yellow tinge. Hind-wing : base and costa as far as 

 middle narrowly edged with orange-yellow. 



Variety C, of ? . — Similar to Var. B, but hind-wing deep, 

 creamy, yellow-ochreous, like the underside of the finer 

 ordinary specimens. Underside. — Similar to that of Var. 

 B, but of a much deeper, richer yellow, almost of the same 

 shade as that of the upper surface of the hind-wing. 



Both these beautiful varieties of the ? Agaihina were sent me from 

 King William's Town, by Mr. D'Urban. The contrast of the yellow hind- 

 viugs with the pure white of the fore-wings is as remarkable iu these 

 examples as it often is in P. Zochalia, Boisd.
