1022 Additions: PIERIDAE. By J. Rober. 



foi-iu the case only in tlie ? (Rober in Seitz mentions this band of the forewing above neither in the $)." — 

 We remark hereto that it was not necessary to state this difference from the c? in this species specially, because 

 it is a general character of the $$ of this genus; to my knowledge only regnidas (23 c) does not exliibit a disco- 

 cellular band, but this is presumably an aberrative form, whereas the normal $$ probably have such a band. 

 palaeMra. Dapt. palaestra Hpjf. (p. 76) has of late been regarded as a distinct species, for which reason we have 



cquador'icct. figured it (194 g). — equadorica Strand from Ecuador (Sarayacu) has been described as follows: ,, Distinguished 

 from the two types {S3) of the species lying before me by its larger size (expanse of wings: 57, length of fore- 

 wings: 34, length of bod}'-: 22 mm), a broader marginal band (at the apex of the forewing 11 mm, along the 

 vein 3 in the forewing 4 mm, in the hindwing 41,2 nini broad) which is besides not proximally bordered undulately 

 in the hindwing; besides by the whitish iinder surface and the narrower (in f. pr. triangular) discocelhilar spot. 



loraiilhi. Mathania lorantlii Jorg. (194 g) is much smaller than leucotJiea (23 b) and easily discernible by the 



miich more taperingly extended hindwings. The indistinct marking beneath is entirely like that of leucothea. 

 Conunon in the valleys of the Andalgala at altitudes of 150 to 250 m, in February and May. Larva on Loranthus 

 eugenioides Kth., of the usual Pierid shape; pupa remarkably bent. 



carrhoi. M. carrizoi Giac. ,,Mo.st closely allied to M. leucothea, but quite different; wings uni-coloured white 



with a faint greenish hue, less than in leucotJiea; more yellowish; this comparatively more on the upper surface 

 of the wings. Forewing of carrizoi with a slightly yellowish or greenish apex ^\'hicli in leucothea is of a deep and 

 very pure light green colour, and on the ground there is a row of small greenish clouds, forming a semicircle 

 round the margins of the wings, concentrical to them. Tliis varies greatly in my 4 specimens, so that in one 

 it is hardly visible, whilst in the others it is more distinctly marked; a yellow, faint, little visible dot is the 

 dot, in the space of the two veins forming the disc of the hindwing; body haired, in one specimen at the base 

 of the eyes a small dot as in leucothea. Antennae similar as in leucothea. Size variable, expanse: 44 to 

 58 mm. Catamarca (Sa. Cruz and El Saladillo, La Rioja, Tucvunan) and Bolivia." 



melissa. Hcsperocliarls melissa Ferr. de Aim. Size approximately that of erota (23 e). The description says: 



forewing white or greyish-white, apex slightly fox-coloured. Hindwing light greyish-white. Forewing beneath 

 above, hindwing beneath yellowish-white, often at the base with an orange spot. Thorax black with light stripes. 

 Abdomen light yellowish. Antciniae blackish, at the apex yellowish. It flies in July. Patria: Rio de Janeiro. 



quirhua. H. marchali ab. quichua Jorg. is a form more intensely marked above and beneath. Catamarca, 1640 m, 



in December. 



lacka. H. lactea Burm. from Argentina seems to be extremely rare, since it has no more been discovered 



of late. The original description says: ,,This species has the size and shape of anguitia, but the forewing is a 

 little obtuser. Body black and covered with long white hair; antennae black with a yellowish-red club, palpi 

 and frons with black hair intermixed with white hairs; wings milky-white, the costal margin slightly yellowish 

 towards the apex, beneath the forewing has a somewhat yellow costal and distal margin, of the same colour 

 is the hindwing beneath, with a saffron-coloured dot at the base." 



merkUoHii- Tcriocolias atinas meridionalis Jorg. from Argentina (Aconciuija Mountains), at altitudes of 1500 



"'■ to 2700 m. is smaller than atina.s (26 d) and above and beneath of a paler yellow ground-colour, and — especially 



shiptoiii. beneath — ■ much less marking. — ab. shiptoni Jorg. shows brownish groimd-colouring on the hindwing beneath, 



with a very indistinct marking. The imagines fly in Novend>er and at the end of May on the blossoms of Com- 



positae, Loranthaceae, Acanthaceae, Verbenaceae and Labiatae. The larva lives on Cassia hookeriana Gill. 



The pupa is bent back, and the part of the wing-cases is bulging very much. 



flriria. About Terias flavia Burm. occurring in Argentina (Tucuman) I cannot tell anything, as I neither 



possess specimens of it nor have access to the description. 



T. arhela Hhn. (24 b) also occurs in Argentina. 



lormo-wntin. T. thyiTietus formosanus Jorg. from Argentina (Formosa), flying in November, has a somewhat broader 



black margin of the forewing and a diffiise, narrow, black border of the hindwing. 



T. agave Cr. (24 f) also occurs in Argentina. 



pcnivicola. Catopsilia rnrina peruvicola Strand from South East Peru has been described from a cj being very much 



marked bi-neath. 



occidental i.'i. CoHas occldentalis Scdd. from the western coast of North America resembles ckry.somelas (27 a), but 



it has rounder wings and is lighter yellow, the black marginal marking narrower, the $ has only bkrrred, narrow, 

 black marginal markings, no submarginal spots and a more or less distinct discal spot. 



r/.s/mra. Col. astraea Edw. from the North American western coast is in the rj similar to ariadne (27 f ), but 



a little larger, with more pointed wings and less orange-coloiured. The hindwing has no discal spot. The $ is
