Eastern Pieridce. 337 



In fine specimens of the male the underside is rich orange- red. 

 VoUenhoven (Mon. Pier. p. 25, n.) doubts this being an inhabi- 

 tant of the Archipelago, because "the Museum of Leyden pos- 

 sesses a female specimen from New Zealand." I myself captured 

 both sexes in Lombock, and my assistant Mr. Allen did the same 

 in Flores. I am therefore more disposed to think that the Ley- 

 den specimen did not come from New Zealand. 



25. Pieris tamar, n. sp. (PI. VI. fig. 2, $ .) 



Form of wings as in J*, temena ; same size. 



Male. — Above, like P. temena, but the black border about twice 

 as wide. Beneath : differs from /-'. temena by the marginal and 

 transverse rows of spots being smaller, and the patches in and be- 

 low the cell much whiter and larger ; the lower wings have a very 

 wide black border extending into the end of the cell, and the sub- 

 marginal red spots very small, the disc coloured as in P. temena. 



Female. — Has a broad black border at the extremity of both 

 wings, with a prolongation from the uppers to the end of the cell. 

 Beneath, nearly as in the male, but the spots are rather larger and 

 less distinctly marked. 



Hab.—Ba\y (Coll. Wall, and W. W. Saunders). 



A beautiful species, distinct in both sexes from P. temena, but 

 more especially different in the female. Apparently restricted to 

 the small island of Baly, situated between Lombock and Java.

 Hab.— Timor (Coll. Wall. $). 



This beautiful species evidently belongs to the present group, 

 and seems to come best here. The colouring of the underside is 

 however curiously like Thyca belisama, except in the marginal 

 spots being red instead of orange. It may probably be a case of 

 mimicry, like those of Prioneris for the same group.

 spots scarcely marked ; hind wings without black markings on the
