The German authors regard this species as either a local or seasonal form of D. Alniormts 

 (Wallace). {See our figure Tachyris Ahiwrmis, anted, vol. i., Pierin^c, pi. ii., figs. 6,7; Delias 

 Abnorinis m text), which represents a female, and not a male. It may, however, be at once 

 distinguished by the colouring ef the undersurfaoe. 



Herr von Mitis points out (" Iris," VI., p. 114), that the four-l)rauched subcostal nervure 

 removes both Abnormis and Eurtjxantha from Delias.
