only the three upper submarginal spots are separate from pale disc ; these three spots 

 are diamond-shaped and much larger, and not at all indistinct, as in 1. leucohalia. 



Underside. Forewing has pale basal half of wing cream- white, not grey, and all light 

 markings more distinct. Hindwing has all pinkish-white markings much larger and 

 more distinct, and the orange lines and spots are larger, more extended and more brilliant.

28. Delias carstensziana sp. nov. 



S. Nearest to attisa Jord. in pattern, and in shajie and size to leucohalia Jord. 



Upperside. — Forewing brownish black, an oval creamy white patch occupying 

 lower I of cell, a postmedian oblique band of 3 cream-white spots and a similar sub- 

 apical spot, subbasal half of wing below cell cream-white, base of wing brown-black 

 powdered with grey scales. Hindwing, base brown-black with grey scales, subbasal 

 f of wing cream-white, abdominal fold golden yellow, white spots on termen at end 

 of veins in both wings. Underside. — Forewing, basal half obliquely, except costa, 

 bright orange ; outer half brown-black, a postmedian strongly oblique band of 3 large 

 spots yellow, 2 subapical spots white with orange streaks ; the terminal white spots 

 run inwards along the veins some 2 millimetres, their inner half being orange. Hind- 

 wing deep black-brown, basal \ of costa broadly white edged with orange, an irregular 

 jagged white patch very wide reaches from costa \ from base obliquely across the 

 wing to beyond the cell between veins 3 and 7, this patch is edged with orange ; 2 orange 

 spots below cell and 2 orange lines from base to tornus along abdominal fold, a sub- 

 marginal band of large helmet-shaped white spots and a marginal row of pale yellow 

 spots, veins beyond cell orange. One specimen has the cell on forewing above entirely 

 white and the median spot of oblique band much enlarged and joined to white area 

 of cell ; another above has the postmedian spots almost obsolete and ground colour 

 intense black. 



Expanse 60 mm. Length of forewing 28 mm.

(?. This marvellous insect is unlike any known Delias. 



Upperside. — Forewing brown-black, lower f of cell and basal f of wing below cell 

 greyish cream-white, a curved line of submarginal spots of same colour on veins 2 to 

 5 inclusive. Hindwing, basal | greyish white, outer \ brown-black, a greyish dot on
