294 Dr. A. G. Butler on new Species 



L. — Descriptions of some new Species of Butterflies of the 

 Subfamily PierinEe. By Aethur G. Butler, Ph.D. 



The following species in the Museum collection have hitherto 

 remained unnamed : — 



Mylothris hogotana, sp. n. 



$ . Allied to M. maJenha, but differing in the pattern of 

 the primaries, the tawny discoidal and somewhat shorter sub- 

 median longitudinal streaks becoming sulphur-yellow at the 

 extremities ; beyond and well separated from these are two 

 isolated yellow spots placed obliquely, and beyond the cell 

 three elongated spots of the same colour in an oblique 

 subapical series instead of the oblique quadrifid belt of 

 M. malenka. 



Expanse of wings 75 millim. 



Santa Fd de Bogota {Stevens). B. M. 



This is not likely to be a variety of the Venezuelan species, 

 as it is believed that in this group the variations of the female 

 are not very great. 



Elodina Walkeri, sp. n. 



Allied to E. perdita, the male with shorter primaries ; the 

 apical patch always as broad as in E. perdita ? , and not 

 incised or dentated below the third median branch : apex of 

 primaries below silvery, with three increasing blackish sub- 

 apical spots in an oblique series ; a sulphur-yellow subcostal 

 streak from base, and in the discoidal cell a saffron-yellow 

 suffusion : secondaries silvery white ; a blackish dot at end 

 of cell and four or five blackish discal spots in an obtusely 

 angular series between the nervures. 



Expanse of wings 38 millim. 



Port Darwin {J. J. Walker). B. M. 



We have six examples, of which five were collected by 

 Mr. Walker ; the sixth is one of our oldest specimens, the 

 registered locality for which was simply " New Holland." 



Elodina haudiniana, sp. n. 



Also allied to E. perdita, but distinctly smaller and very 

 uniform in pattern : above pearly snow-white ; primaries with 

 costal margin smoky greyish, basal half of costal border flesh-
