Boisduval's name has jirinrity over that of Bntlcr. The type of taqalica iu 

 Charles Oberthiir's eollectiou is in rather poor condition. The white strijje near 

 the costal margin of tlie hiudwiug above is jireseut (as a matter of course, we might 

 say) as in the other forms, though Boisdnval exjiressly states that this is not the 

 case ; perhaps he never raised the forewing, which covers the stripe. 



5. Disc of forewing and almost the entire hindwing green ; thorax yellow 

 above, black iu middle ; abdomen with jiale yellow dorsal patches. 



?. Like cj, but abdominal sternites with traces only of the primrose-yellow 

 area, and the dorsal patches rather less extended.

c?. We know this insect only from the des(Ti])tion and fignre. It has the 

 posterior segments of the abdomen below pale yellow like tagalica, but possesses a 

 yellow dorsal band on the sixth tergite, and the wings are said to be blackish brown, 

 the strong gloss of taqalii-a being absent.
