UnversdE white. The anterior wing as above. The posterior wing with a narrow 
band of black from the base to the middle of the upper margin followed by a band of

the apex. The middle of the wing crossed transversely from the inner margin to a little 
beyond the centre by bands of orange and black. The outer margin with a large spot 
at the anal angle and two triangular spots near the middle light brown. 
Fema.e. Uprersipe. Anterior wing black with a band of orange on the inner margin 
from the base to the anal angle; a second band of orange from the base to the centre of the 
wing, and between it and the outer margin two spots of orange-yellow ; a third irregular 
band of yellow obliquely across the wing beyond the middle. The apex rufous. Pos-

Pieris Malenka is nearly allied to P. Pyrrha. The males are alike, except in size. The females, 
which are totally unlike the males in form as well as in colour (resembling the Heliconide), differ con- 
siderably from each other. 
PIERIS LORENA. 7. 
UprersipE white. Anterior wing with the apical half black, the black crossed obliquely 
in the middle by a band of white. Costal margin black. Posterior wing with the outer 
margin and a large triangular spot upon it at the anal angle black. 
UnpersipE. Anterior wing as above. Posterior wing with the costal margin at 
the base black, crossed a little below the base’ by a transverse band of black, broad near 
the base, where it is marked by a band of orange, but gradually becoming narrower 
towards the anal angle, where it is forked and incloses an oval spot of white. The 
triangular spot of the upperside is here much larger.

The only specimen of this remarkable butterfly which I have seen is the one in my own Collection. 
Tt is most nearly allied to P. Pyrrha and P. Melenka.
