which it resembles not a little on the upper surface; much 
larger; above milk-white; primaries with blackish costa; 
three black spots in an oblique series about halfway between 
the discoidal cell and apex, the central spot small; a fourth 
spot just beyond the middle of the second median interspace ; 
apex black, continuous with three partly confluent conical 
spots on outer margin, the last of them at extremity of second 
median branch ; base of all the wings sparsely sprinkled with 
blackish scales : body blackish, the thorax clothed with white 
hair, and the abdomen irrorated with white. Primaries below 
milk-white ; costa suffused with sulphur-yellow ; discal black 
spots as above; outer border greyish from costa to second 
median branch and internally suffused with sulphur-yellow ; 
secondaries and pectus sulphur-yellow ; venter white. HEx- 
anse of wings 56 millim.

3. Belenois clarissa, sp. n. 
?. Primaries above milk-white; costal border black, a 
broad cblique black patch, with sharply-defined angles at the 
end of the cell, the upper extremity of this patch confluent 
with the costal border; veins beyond the cell black; apical 
third of wing (forming a broad external border, decreasing in 
width to external angle, and with irregularly zigzag inner 
edge) black ; six subapical oval white spots, slightly tinted with 
sulphur-yellow, the second and third large, the second being 
largest : secondaries pearl-grey (owing to the transparency of 
the wing, which shows the black colouring of the under sur- 
face through it), a diffused oval patch in the cell, six in an 
angular series beyond the cell, and the abdominal border milk- 
white; a large black spot at the extremity of the cell; veins 
beyond the middle of the wing black ; a broad irregular black 
external border, on which are six oval pale sulphur-yellow 
submarginal spots in a decreasing series: body above grey, 
with whitish hairs on the thorax. Primaries below with the 
markings nearly as above, but more sharply defined, an addi- 
tional subapical spot within the subcostal furca; the whole 
eround-tint of the wing, but especially the discoidal area and 
submarginal spots, suffused with sulphur-yellow : secondaries 
black, the base of costa, a large elongate patch on basal half 
below the costal vein, a second in the cell, a dash at base of 
interno-median area and the abdominal border (divided by 
the black internal vein) pale sulphur-yellow; an angulated 
series of seven elongated spots across the disk paler yellow, 
almost white; a submarginal series of six bright sulphur-
