14 Dr. A. G. Butler on the Butterflies of 



clearly as in our six females. This, I do not for a moment 

 doubt, the authors of the ' Biologia ' will frankly admit when 

 they have again investigated the point. 



The following is a list of the species so far as they are 

 known to me : — 



Leptophobia, Butler. 



1. Leptophobia eleone. 



Pieris eleone, Hewitson, in Gen. Diurn. Lep. pi. vi. fig. 6 (1847). 

 Pieris Smithii, Kirbv, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1881, p. 357 ; Rhop. Exot. i. 

 pi. i. figs. 3, 4 (1888). 



Venezuela, Bogota, Bolivia, Quito, Ecuador. B. M. 



P. Smithii is evidently a slight variation, differing only in 

 the narrowness of the posterior portion of the outer border of 

 the primaries; the width of this border varies a good deal 

 in L. eleone. 



2. Leptophobia ehmsis. 



Pieris elettsis, Lucas, Rev. et Mag. de Zool. 1852, p. 331. 

 Pieris suadella, Felder, "Wien. ent. Monatschr. v. p. 79 (1861). 



Venezuela. B. M. 



I think it very doubtful whether the following is distinct 

 from this. 



3. Leptophobia helena. 

 Pieris helena, Lucas, Rev. et Mag. de Zool. 1852, p. 332. 



Quito. B. M. 



4. Leptophobia aripa. 



Pieris aripa, Boisduval, Sp. G£n. Lep. i. p. 528 (1836). 

 Pieris balidia, Boisduval, t. c. p. 529. 

 Pieris elodia, Boisduval, /. c. 



Rio Janeiro, Bolivia, Venezuela, Panama, Costa Rica, 

 Guatemala, Mexico. B. M. 



Our examples of L. balidia (from Rio Janeiro) have the 

 under surface of the secondaries and apex of primaries more 

 buff-coloured than Central-American examples ; but the 

 Bolivian example is somewhat intermediate. 



5. Leptophobia pinara. 



Pieris pinara, Felder, Reise der Nov., Lep. ii. p. 179 (1865). 

 Bogota, Bolivia, and Ecuador. B. M.
