 of cell, a larger black spot between first and second discoidal nervules. Apex

" Underside. Anterior wing white, with base broadly marked with orange. 

 Black spots as on the upperside, but more clearly defined, and with two addi- 

 tional, near the anterior margin. Posterior wing entirely white." (Ward, Inc. fit.) 



Hal). Madagascar. 



In the tirst paragraph of this desori])tiou, we should read " between the two upper m?diau 



nervules," for " between first and second discoidal nervules." 



Mr. Ward adds." Allied by its plumule toP.ifef/7/7e[Cram.],but quite distinct in appearance." 

 Several closely-allied forms occui- in Madagascar, two of which v.'e have figured provisionallv 



under varietal names, not considering them sufficiently distinct to be regarded as distinct species 



until thev are better known.
