This fine species is generally somewhat larger 

 than the preceding, the male of a fine sulphur-yel- 

 low (sometimes, however, nearly white) ; the female 

 white, faintly tinged with sulphur. The upper wings 

 are greyish at the base, marked with a black spot 

 near the middle anteriorly, and having at the extre- 

 mity a broad black border, which is attenuated at the 

 hinder angle, and almost divided by a series of nearly 

 continuous spots down the middle. The under 

 wings have a large orange spot on the disk, with a 

 small one attached to it ; the margin next the upper 

 wings is dusky, and there are a few dusky spots re- 

 mote from the outer edge, and nearly parallel with 

 it. Beneath, the upper wings are whitish -yellow, 

 suffused with orange at the tip, having a discoidal 

 black spot with a yellow centre, and a row of small 

 dusky marks at some distance from the outer mar*
