Underside similarly but more weakly marked, only the 
fore wing with large costal spots. . 
Key Is., Jan.—March, 1916 (W. J. C. Frost). 
Excepting the large white species of the australis group, 
in which SC? of the fore wing arises from the (rather large) 
areole, this is the first far-eastern species of the genus known 
tome. Areole small, SC? arising from stalk of SC*~5, as in 
European and N.-American species. The hind wing has a 
weak connecting-bar between C and SC, but I believe this is 
here, as elsewhere, inconstant ; SC?*-R’ well-stalked.

8. Humelea rosalia marginata, subsp. n. 
3 ¢.—Differs from rosalia rosalia, Stoll (Pap. Exot. iv. 
t. 368 E, Amboina), in having the apex of the fore wing to 
a width of about 3 mm. clear yellow without rosy irroration 
and the entire termen more narrowly yellow, though with 
some irroration or strigulation; apex of hind wing also 
narrowly clear yellow. The 2 is more mixed with yellow 
than any of the gg, though the latter show variation in 
this respect.

Stoll’s very unsatisfactory figure shows very narrowly 
yellow apices, and the transverse lines obliterated; I have 
not seen similar examples, though occasional aberrations from 
Celebes and other localities do show a tendency to become 
yellow apically, thus foreshadowing the peculiarity which 
becomes racial in the Soela Islands.

Head ochreous, with the upper part of the face black. 
Palpus with third joint slightly longer than second ; greyish
