type of the genus Baltia, Moore, which differs from all the 

 genera allied to Pieris and Aporia by the very large club of the 

 antennae, and the short, broad, hind-wing cells, which are almost 

 truncated at the end, and scarcely angulated. Mr. Moore has 

 described a second species of Baltia from Lahore, under the 

 name of Synchloe butleri. The references to these species are 

 as follows : —

Mesapia shaivii, Bates, in Henderson and Hume, Lahore to 



Yarkand, p. 305 (1873).

BALTIA BUTLERL 



SyiicJiloe butieri^ Moore, P. Z. S. 1882, p. 256, pi. 11, figs. 

 6, 6(7. 



These species are white, with blackish apical markings, and 

 have much more superficial resemblance to Poiitia than to 

 Mesapia. 



GENUS DAVIDINA.

 Schatz, F^xot. Schmett. ii. p. 59 (1886) ; Leech, Butterflies 

 of China, p. 474 (1893). 



The type of this genus is a very remarkable Butterfly, found 

 at a great elevation in the mountains of Central China. The 

 genus is imperfectly known, and I will therefore only charac- 

 terise it here as far as the figures enable me to do so. 



Palpi long ; antennae about one-third as long as the costa of
