PAPILIONID.E. PIEEINiE. — MYLOTHRIS. 



l)ut the primaries quite distinct in pattern, the base being l)roadly black 

 ( to the middle of the discoidal cell) and dark brown in the female ; the costal 

 margin black ; apical black border and marginal spots of male fully three times 

 as broad as in 71/. Triinciiia ; in the female there is a broad dark brown external 

 l)order tapering on the costal margin, its inner edge acutely tridentate on the 

 median branches and its posterior termination, obtusely pointed, extending one- 

 third towards the base ; first marginal black spot of secondaries enlarged in 

 both sexes, but especially in the male, other spots smaller than in .1/. Trmeuia. 

 On the under surface the apex of primaries and entire surface of secondaries 

 are sulphur-yellow in the male and chrome-yellow in the female, not gamboge- 

 yellow as in the South African insect ; there arc also no black marginal spots 

 on the primaries and those of the secondaries are smaller."

M(d(\ UrPERsiDE. Anterior wings lemon-yellow shading into orange at 

 the base, apex broadly greyish-black, narrowing along the outer margin to half- 

 way below the upper median nervule, where it ceases bluntly, and is followed by 

 two subconical spots, of which the lower is half the size of the upper. Posterior 

 wings white, with six round black spots at the ends of the veins. 



Underside. Anterior wings with the base, cell, and middle part of the 

 disc bright orange, shading into lemon-yellow and becoming white towards the 

 apex, outer and inner margins ; seven marginal round black spots commencing 

 on the costa a little before the apex at the ends of the veins, the apical black 

 area of the upperside showing through the wings. Posterior wings orange at 

 the l)ase ; shading into lemon-yellow in the cell and the area round it, the rest 

 of the wings white, with six black spots on the outer margin at the ends of the 

 veins.

I received this species from Dr. Staudinger under the name of Flavia, but I cannot find 

 he has described it; it is very close to M. Sulphurea, Auriv., but the wings are more elongate.
