 the subapical spot of the forewing above is less developed. 



L. duponcheli ^tgr. (27 g), from South France, the eastern districts of South Europe, Asia Minor, dupondieli. 

 Armenia, and Persia, diflers from siiiapis in the marking of the underside, as shown in the figure. — In 

 the summer-form aestiva Sfr/r. (27 g) the upperside is feebly, the underside more strongly yellow, the latter aestiva.

L. gigantea Leech (27 gj, from Central and West China, is considerably larger than the other species gigantea.

Corrections and Additions 



to the Palaearctic Pierids. 



Pieris napi ab. fumigata GUhner is evenlj- smoky grej' above and below, the fringes and the costa fumigata. 

 of the forewing are pale yellow, the veins being of the same colour in the distal half of the underside, 

 while the proximal half is blackened and the veins are all black on the upperside. 



Pieris minor Costa is to be considered a form of ncjane, according to recent researches of Count 

 Emilio Turati; there are likewise no black spots on the underside of the forewing. Another form, cor- 

 responding to P. monni rosm, will soon be described by Count Turati under the name of rostagni. rostagni. 



Euchloe belia ab. philippsi Undolph, from Dalmatia, is a form of the spring-brood in which the philippsi. 

 back apical marking extends into the cell, the costal margin and the middle of the hindwing moreover 

 being dusted with black. — According to the observations of A. v. Carad.ja E. belia flies in South France 

 as aitfonia again in September and October (i. e. as a third brood i, and the larva feeds also on Biscutella laevigata. 



Anthocharis cardamines ab. lutea GiUmer, a pure yellow instead of orange form, has been found lutea. 

 near Regensburg; it is an aberration of the so-called typical form, while ab. e mce ft Biih. belongs to turritis. — 

 ab. cinerea Xr-imhnm has ashy grey instead of green markings in the apical area of the forewing beneath, cinerea. 



Gonepteryx Cleopatra mauretanica fomi. nor. has been discovered by Dr. Seitz on June 2. 1907 mauretanica. 

 in South Algiers (near Batnaj. It is characterized by the underside being of a peculiar whitish green tint 

 contrasting sharph^ with the yellow colour of the middle of the forewing. This appears to be the prevalent 

 form in South Algiers, italica also occurring there frequently, while the ordinarj' deopatra is apparently absent.
