20 HON. WALTER ROTHSCHILD ON LEPIDOPTERA 



is pure white with basal -1 of costa, palpi, head, and front half of thorax primrose yellow. 

 Should subsequent specimens prove these differences to be constant, I propose for the 

 Mt. Goliath race the name of Morphotenaris schoenhergi favipalpis. To make the 

 distribution clear and to diagnose the differences of the local races, I here give a synopsis 

 of 4 out of the 5 definitely estabhshed forms, the 5th being described above.
