19. Delias enniana obsoleta, subsp. n.

20. Delias enniana reducta, subsp. n. 



(J . Above differs from en. enniana in the apical dark 

 portion of fore wing being wider, running round tornus on 

 to inner margin, and having only a single subapical spot. 

 Below the black-brown band from costa across discocellulars 

 on fore wing is much reduced, generally forming a narrow 

 curved line only from subcostal along discocellulars, not 

 reaching lower angle of cell ; on hind wing the marginal 

 band is narrower and its inner edge is regularly rounded 

 instead of sinuate ; the submarginal band of spots is still 

 more reduced, the upper spot only being present and the 

 second to fourth barely indicated by whitish hair-like streaks. 



? . Below, all dark portions reduced and much narrower, 

 and submarginal spots on hind wing mucli smaller.

21. Delias enniana kapaura^ subsp. n.

 wings and the much greater width of the dark distal portions 

 of both wings ; on the hind wing the dark area occupies the 

 distal f of wing.

Fruhstorfer, in ' Seitz,' states that the S of this form is 

 unknown. I have a ^ from the Felder collection received 

 in exchange from the Leyden Museum. I append the 

 description : — 



(J . Above hardly distinguishable from D. enniana. Be- 

 low, fore wing much as in enniana ; hind wing, basal f pale, 

 outer ^ brown, enclosing a row of large fulvous-orange spots ; 

 of the pale area the basal half is fulvous orange, outer half 

 white. 



I also have a number of ? ? (which are evidently forms 

 of dice) from the east side of (jeelvink Bay, Humboldt Bay,
