PAPILIONID^. PIERIN.E. — HUPHINA. 



Male. Upperside. Both wings white, with broad black outer marginal 

 bauds. Anterior wings with the base and costal margin dusted with grey scales ; 

 the apical third and outer marginal area broadly black, having its inner edge 

 irregularly indented between the veins and being narrowest at the outer angle ; 

 in the middle of the black area is a row of six white spots between the veins, 

 the spot nearest the costa linear, the second (which is the largest of the series) 

 and the third each bordered on the inner side by an elongate streak of white 

 scales ; the three lowest spots are smaller. The posterior wings are broadly 

 bordered with black, in which, between the lowest subcostal and discoidal 

 nervules, is a small patcli of white scales near the inner edge of the black 

 border- 



Underside. Anterior wings as on the upperside, but the costal area is 

 rather broadly brownish-black and the base tinged with yellow ; the row of white 

 spots of the upperside is represented by the same number of spots, but they are 

 more uniform in size, and the three upper spots are yellow. Posterior wings 

 bright lemon-yellow, with a brownish-black outer marginal band, broader than 

 on the upperside, in the middle of which is a series of indistinct yellow streaks 

 or spots ; the inner edge of the black baud is very irregularly defined. 



Female. Upperside. Both wings purer white than in tlie male, wath the 

 dark marginal areas broader and browner. Anterior wings with the costa and 

 basal third densely irrorated with grey scales, and three subapical white spots, 

 of which the middle spot is the largest and the uppermost nearly obsolete. 

 Posterior wings with the white area more or less densely irrorated with grey 

 scales, and a small cluster of white scales above the discoidal nervule in the 

 dark area. 



Underside. Anterior wings with the series of yellow spots before the apex 

 larger, and the three lowest spots nearly obsolete. Posterior wings pale yellow, 

 with the veins crossing the pale area white, and two yellow spots situate before 

 the apex in the dark area.
