palpi ; and the form of the pupa, indicate an affinity to Authocharis : its antenna;, and the form of the larva, point 

 out an equal one to Callidryas. 



The Larva of Hebomoia Glaucippe, according to Dr. Horsfield, feeds on a species of Capparis. This species is 

 common throughout the western part of the Indian Archipelago, throughout the continent of India, and in China. 

 Hebomoia Leucippe appears to be confined to Amboyna ; and, as is the case with most of the Lepidoptera from that 

 island, is only to be met with in old collections, or in those which have been enriched by specimens collected during 

 the last century. 



I have felt myself, after much consideration, bound to adopt Hiibner's generic name, notwithstanding the insufficiency 

 of the charactei-s he has given, because he limits his genus precisely to the two species of which twenty years 

 afterwards Dr. Boisduval formed his genus Iphias, a name I would gladly retain, did not the inflexible law of priority 



forbid me.
