white, the outer third bhick, the black area extending to the inner margin at 

 about three-fourths from the l)ase, two minute subapical white spots. Posterior 

 wings, basal three-fourths greyish-white and outer fourth black, the inner edge 

 of the black area densely dusted with white scales, the outer margin indented 

 between the veins, and with narrow white incisions. 



Underside. Anterior wings greyish-black, with a subapical sinuate row 

 of five conical yellow spots, inside which, about half-way between this row 

 and the end of the cell, is a subcostal greyish-yellow spot. Posterior wings 

 dark sericeous grey, with a broad white curved band crossing the wings from 

 the costa, about its middle, to the inner margin a little above the apex, where 

 it becomes almost obsolete, this band is deeply indented on either side by the 

 grey ground colour. Beyond the band the disc is crossed by a row of sub- 

 conical yellow spots with their apices extending outwardly and narrowly to the 

 outer margin ; in the basal dark area is a yellow spot on the shoulder, 

 another below the costal nervure, another in the cell a little above its middle, 

 and two others in the interspaces below the median nervure, the basal area 

 being more or less densely irrorated with yellow scales ; outer margins of both 

 wings narrowly wdiite between the veins.

In the Cullections of the Hon. Walter Eothschild and H. Grose-Smith. 

 Herr Ribbe has placed this species in the genus " Pieris." but I think it should be placed 

 in the Q-enus Delias.
