interesting species of Papilionde and Pieride. 355 
A variety with the black border of the hind wings 
ceasing abruptly about the middle of the hind margin. 
Found on a muddy path between St. Inez and the 
Topo. 
Dismorphia Hewitsonv, n. 8. 
Expands 2 inches 4 lines—2 inches 8 lines. 
Allied to D. Rhetes, Hew., which Mr. Hewitson de- 
scribed and figured from a Colombian specimen in 
Boisduval’s collection, but which is represented in his 
own by the present species. 
Fore wings black; a large irrecular lilac band runs 
from the base, divided into three by the nervures ; the 
first long and narrow, running along the lower side of 
the discoidal cell; the second forms an obtuse-angled 
triangle, starting with the first from the base, and 
ceasing at about one-third of the length of the last, 
which fills up nearly the whole space between the second 
and third median nervules, but is narrowed above 
beyond the middle, and ends in a point before quite 
reaching the hind margin; below it are two smaller long 
spots near the hind margin. On the costa is a white 
spot before the end of the cell, beyond and below which 
is a band of two white and two lilac increasing spots, 
only separated by the veins ; beyond this is another row 
of five smaller white spots, beginning with two connected 
ones on the costa; the rest well separated. Hind wings 
bluish hyaline, with a black indented border ; the cell 
filled up with rufous-brown, edged with blackish below ; 
the wing beyond is whiter, and stained with rufous. 
Under surface tawny brown; fore wings bluish white 
below the middle of the cell, and the same colour curves 
round its extremity. A large bluish white spot on the 
costa before the end of the cell; the outer row of five 
spots is also present, and there are two more at the 
extremity of the wing; hind wings silvery white ; costa 
fawn-colour ; cell fawn-colour, edged on both sides with 
black, and the upper black stripe running to the sub- 
costal nervure in a right angle at its extremity ; border 
of the wings fawn-colour, edged below with blackish, 
which runs triangularly upwards towards the extremity 
of the cell; tip with three small white spots. Female 
similar ; cell of the hind wings black, edged with lilac- 
white ; under surface with the hind wing cell only
