 more continuous stripe, dentated basally, on the discocellular nervules ; a sub- 

 marginal row of seven yellow spots, curving inwards towards the costa, between 

 the nervures ; the first three large and oval, and a short yellow dash nearer the 

 apex between the second and third branches of the subcutal nervure ; the

 the first three ; the fifth and sixth are round, and considerably smaller, the 

 sixth being the smallest of all. Posterior wings orange, costal nervure rather 

 broadly black, the space above yellow, and a long oval spot below ; inner

Hab. Java. 



In the Collections of Dr. Staiulinger and Mr. H. Grose Smith. 



The specimen fia^ired is from South Java ; Dr. Staudiuger's specimens were taken by -Captain 

 Holz at Lawang, in East Central Java, at an elevation of about 2,000 metres. 



Dr. Staudiuger treats this insect as a local form of the well-known Delias Belisama, Cramer. 

 We hope to have an opportunity of figuring the female on a later plate.
