PIERID.E. 29 



pale-yellow ochreous ; hind-marginal spots larger than on 

 upper-side ; portion of ctfsta above costal nervure orange-red. 



$ . Varies from dull whitish-ochreous to dull orunge- 

 ochreous ; spots on hind-margins larger than in $ . UNDER- 

 SIDE. Similar to $ , hut ground-colour of fore-wing dull 

 yellowish, instead of white. 



Variety A, of $ (Coll. Brit. Mus.) Upper-side like the 

 ordinary specimens, except that the marginal spots are larger. 

 UNDER-SIDE. Very distinctly marked, and richly-coloured. 

 Fore-iving : the apical yellow deeper than in ordinary ex- 

 amples, three black dots defining its inner edge. Hind-wing : 

 three of the hind-marginal spots wanting, but an inner 

 parallel row of small spots between extremity of discoidal 

 cell and hind-margin. From Natal. 



Variety B, of ? . Fore-wing white, with the usual hind- 

 marginal spots. Hind-wing : bright sulphur-yellow ; seven 

 marginal spots, the additional one being at extremity of 

 first sub-costal nervule. UNDERSIDE. Yellow colouring 

 paler and brighter than in ordinary specimens. Fore-wing : 

 ground-colour white ; no orange-red at base, but only a slight 

 ochrey-yellow tinge. Hind-wing : base and costa as far as 

 middle narrowly edged with orange-yellow. 



Variety C, of . Similar to Var. B, but hind-wing deep, 

 creamy, yellow -ochreous, like the underside of the finer 

 ordinary specimens. UNDERSIDE. Similar to that of Var. 

 B, but of a much deeper, richer yellow, almost of the same 

 shade as that of the upper surface of the hind-wing. 



Both these beautiful varieties of the $ Agaihina, were sent me from 

 King William's Town, by Mr. D'Urban. The contrast of the yellow hind- 

 wings with the pure white of the fore-wings is as remarkable in these 

 examples as it often is in P. Zochalia, Boisd.
