been mistaken for it. It is very possible it may extend into New 

 Guinea, but it seems never to have been seen there either by my- 

 self or the Dutch Entomologists. The female is probably P. clytie 

 of Donovan; and as it is useless to continue in our lists species 

 which are unrecognizable from the badness of the figures, and are 

 probably known under other names, I omit altogether P. perimale 

 and P. clytie. 



3. Pieris niseia, MacLeay.

Gen. p. 473. 



Hab. — West Australia. 



This seems to be closely allied to P. teutonia, and is perhaps 

 not distinct. I have not seen a specimen. 



4. Pieris coronea, Cramer. 



Pap'ilio coronea, Cr. 68 B, C ; 30 1 G, H. Pieris coronea, Bd. Sp. 

 Gen. p. 474 ; Voll. Mon. Pier. p. 29. 



Hah. — Java, Celebes, Baly, Lombock, Flores, Solor, Timor 

 (Wall.). 



As this species has not been found by the Dutch collectors or 

 by myself in Sumatra or Borneo, the above probably gives its 

 true range. A specimen in the Brit. Mus. is labelled " Amboina," 

 but this is no doubt a wrong locality.

" Above, like P. clytie $ , but the black discoidal points larger 

 and better marked, the marginal row of white marks less distinct. 

 Beneath, more like P. coronea ; the hind wings black, with a row 

 of marginal lunules, base of the upper margin and abdominal 

 border briglit ochre-yellow. Female smaller, of a dirty yellow- 

 white, with a much wider black border." (Boisd.)

In the New Caledonian insect the upper wings are white beneath, 

 orange-tinged at the base, with a broad outer border and a mark
