 another barely visible near the outer angle.

Sab. — Tondano, mountains of N. Celebes (Coll. Wall.). 



Tills fine species has the hind wings broad and elongated 

 almost as in T. paulina, but it is most nearly allied to T. Jacqui- 

 notii,

 Female. — Above, very like T. 2^(iufina, but the base of the 

 lower wings as well as the uppers is dusky, and the black border 

 is broad at the outer angle, and diminishes to a point at the anal 

 angle, being bounded above by a bluish shade in reversed pro- 

 portions, which indents it between the nervures,. Beneath, differs 

 from T. paidina chiefly by the hind wings being pale ochre-yel- 

 low, with a posterior submarginal angulated band not reaching 

 the anal angle, and the space beyond this is dusky-yellow. 

 Expanse of wings 2| — 2g inches. 



Mab. — (Males.) Batchian, Bouru, Ceram, Philippines (Coll. 

 Wall.) ; New Caledonia (Coll. W. W. Saunders). 



(Females.) Batchian, Ceram (Wall.); Philippines (Feld.). 



I have specimens connecting T. Jacqidnotii and T. zoe, and the 

 females from the two localities do not differ. The Philippine 

 male is rather more yellow beneath, and the New Caledonian still 

 deeper yellow, but even the Moluccan specimens differ considerably 

 in tint. 



24. Tachyris alope, Wallace. 

 Pieris amasene, Bd. Sp. Gen. p. 535, $ (nee Cr.). 

 Female. — Differs from that of T. Jacquinotii above only by hav- 

 ing the costa more broadly black, and by the marginal band on 

 the hind wings being broader and not bounded above by a bluish 

 shade. Beneath differs only by the transverse apical band 

 being broader. 



//at. — (Males.) Java, Sumatra, Borneo (Coll. Wall.); India. 

 (Females.) Java (Wall.) ; Sumatra and India (B. M,); 

 India (Moore), uniform yellow on lower wings 

 beneath.
