PIERIDA.—LEPTALIS. 
base to the middle of the wing; crossed a little beyond the middle by a broad 
oblique band, and by a subapical bifid spot, all of pale yellow; the imer margin also 
yellow. Posterior wing pale yellow, lilac-white where the wings meet, the outer 
margin broadly brown. 
Female like the male, except that the central band of the anterior wing is 
broken into two separate spots: that there is a sub-costal band of brown on the 
posterior wing. 
Exp. 133 inch. Hab. Ecuador.

Most nearly allied to L. Eumelia, the spots and bands being in the same position; the sub- 
marginal spots give it, however, a very different aspect, and a still greater resemblance to some species 
of Ithomia; there is a variety of the female without the submarginal spots.
