Hab.—'Flores, Lombock, Baly, Java (Coll. Wall., B. M.). 



The Java males vary somewhat, but are often undistinguishable 

 from those of Baly and Lombock. For some time I considered 

 T. hjnceola, Fekl., to be Cramer's ly?icida, and described this as a 

 new species : — 



Male. — Above, like T. hjnceola $, but the black border nar- 

 rower, not enclosing the oval white apical spot, which is larger and 

 bounded above by the powdery white costal band ; on the hind 

 wings the border is very narrow and vanishes before reaching the 

 anal angle. Beneath, differs from T. hjnceola in the same way as 

 above, and has the margin of a paler brown. Larger and has 

 rather more pointed wings than T. hjnceola. 



Female. — Varies much, but agrees well with the species de- 

 scribed by Boisduval as Pieris hippo (Sp. Gen. p. 534), except 

 that it is tinged beneath with pearly ash, with scarcely any yellow. 

 The upper surface is sometimes rich ashy-brown, with only nar- 

 row stripes of pale yellow. 



Expanse of wings varies from 2 to 2| inches. 



6. Tachyris ly caste, Felder. 

 Pieris lycaste, Feld. Voy. Novara, p. 164, S. 



Male. — Wings elongate, narrowed at the apex. Above, white, 

 costa black-edged and dusky towards the base ; outer edge of the 

 uppers concave, with a narrow toothed blackish border not readi- 

 ng the outer angle ; lower wings with a very narrow black edging 

 only near the outer angle. Beneath, white, the lower wings 

 faintly tinged with ochreous-yellow, with a narrow yellow edging 

 at the base ; the margins as above, and a rather broad costal band 

 pale brown. 



Female. — Above, like T. hippo. Beneath, paler, lower wings 

 pearly-ash, with a faint posterior marginal band, and the costal 

 and subcostal nervures light brown. 



Expanse of wings $ 2^, $ 2| inches. 



^a6.— Celebes (Coll. Wall.). 



I had described this species before I received Dr. Felder's 

 work. He was not acquainted with the female.
