Butterflies collected in Chili. 473 
The example figured by Blanchard is a heavily-marked 
female, the more typical form being that erroneously 
described by him as ‘‘ P. autodice.”’ 
50. Tatochila demodice. 
Pieris demodice, Blanchard, in Gay’s ‘ Fauna Chilena,’ 
vi., p. 18 (1852). 
“T have found it commonly at Valparaiso, Chillan, 
and Valdivia; November to April; probably double- 
brooded.”—T7'. E. 
I much doubt the identity of this species with the 
smaller form found in the Magellan Straits. I think it 
more probable that the latter is the ‘‘ Pieris microdice ”’ 
of Blanchard, and that the “ posticis maris immaculatis ”’ 
of his description is an individual variation from the 
commoner type of male which has a series of small 
black spots, as in the Chilian T. demodice ; it is hardly 
likely that the common Magellan species would have 
remained unnoticed until the appearance of Reed’s 
pamphlet, whilst a form, so rare that no recent collector 
has come across it, should be known to M. Blanchard.

‘Common at Valparaiso ; also in the Cordilleras, and

double-brooded.”—T". E. 
The three preceding species probably represent the 
whole of the Chilian species of this genus. 
The following description of the larva of T’. theodice 
of Reed, and therefore most likely of Blanchard 
(= T. blanchardii) is given by Mr. Edmonds :— Grey, 
with longitudinal yellow stripes and black and red dots. 
Head grey, and clothed with very fine and short hairs ; 
body grey, with broad yellow subdorsal lines; lateral
