In Hyposcritia lalage the laminae ai^e rather short, broad, 

 and laterally compressed. The base is rounded ; the disc 

 small, oval or circular, and rather thickly loaded with chitinous 

 tubing. On the hindwing the laminae are somewhat shorter, 

 the sides more nearly parallel, and the base more rounded. 



Certain specimens from Manipur, which I have been 

 accustomed to consider as a dry-season form of H. lalage, 

 show such differences in respect of their scent-scales as to 

 suggest that they must be specifically distinct. In //. lalage 

 the scent-scales are scanty everywhere; the laminae show a 

 tendency to houi'-glass compression ; the discs are elongated 

 and translucent. In the " dry-season " form referred to the 

 scent-scales are abundant in the forewing ; the laminae are 

 long, with parallel sides ; the disc is circular and opaque. 



Hyposcritia lagela has on the forewing scent-scales which 

 vary a little in shape, but generally recall those of the genus 

 Saletara. They are, however, larger than in that genus, and 

 the disc is differently shaped and larger in proportion. 

 Lateral compression is well-marked, the base is rounded, the 

 disc is circular and provided with a strongly-developed 

 chitinous internal structure. On the hindwing the scent-scales 

 are again variable, but usually larger than on the forewing. 

 Some resemble those of the forewing ; others are cordate in 

 outline, and but for the small size of their discs would recall 

 those from the forewing of T. clementiiia. Perhaps on the 

 whole they are, though considerably larger, most like the scent- 

 scales of Appias zehnira. A curious plume-scale, with sides 

 straight and slightly diverging and no disc, has been observed 

 in a preparation made from this species. 



The scales in H. indra are rather variable, but on the whole 

 they closely resemble those of the forewing of H. lagela. 



The scent- scales in H. pandione from Java are like those of 

 H. lalage. The disc is smallish, circular, and opaque. The 

 scent-scales in H. leptis, also from Java, are like those of the 

 "dry-season" form described under If. lalage. 



Hyposcritia plana from Borneo has scent-scales like those of 

 H. le'2 tin, but with the lamina a little shorter and broader. 

 The sides are very nearly parallel, the base is slightly rounded. 

 The disc is generally circular, and has the appeaiance, common
