PIERIS. 177 



identical with those of P. daplidice. Hind wing : ground-colour 

 similar to that of daplidice ; differs only as follows : A series of 

 four small black terminal spots at the apices of veins 3 to 6, the 

 anterior 3 joined on the inner side by black loops. Underside: 

 similar to that of daplidice. Fore wing : differs in the green area 

 at apex and on termen anteriorly, which is broadly traversed by 

 short lines of white that extend to the terminal margin and are 

 faintly lined with yellow. Hind wing : differs in the green 

 coloration which is greatly restricted ; the basal area is dusky 

 green with large pyriforrn spots of the white ground-colour in 

 cell and interspace 7 ; beyond this there is only a subterminal 

 series of green loops continued along the veins to the margin, 

 this leaves a broad white curved discal band and a series of large 

 white terminal spots in the interspaces ; the veins conspicuously 



lined with yellow. Antennae ashy brown; head, thorax and 



abdomen whitish. $ . Upper and under sides : similar to those of 



the c? , but the markings larger and more clearly denned. 

 Exp. c? $ 40-50 mm. (1-58-1-96"). 

 ffab. AVitbin our limits recorded only from the north-west of 



India, the Punjab and Baluchistan. Found also in Arabia; Persia; 



the Pamirs ; Egypt and N. Africa. 



Larva. Greenish yellow, with two longitudinal yellow bands and 



five transverse lines of minute black dots on each segment ; head 



yellowish green with black dots. 



Pupa. Brown ; head with a beak-like curved process ; thorax 



somewhat compressed, with a large tubercle on the ventral side 



and two smaller posterior tubercles on each side.

c? . Upperside : white. Fore wing : discocellulars edged broadly 

 with black on each side ; a short broad transverse preapical black 

 bar from costa to vein 6 and another similar short bar further 

 outwards from vein 6 to middle of interspace 4, followed by three 

 outwardly-pointed, somewhat oval, black terminal spots just below 

 the apex. Hind wing : uniform, unmarked. Underside : white. 

 Fore wing : the markings as on the upperside, but those at apex 

 green and with a few scattered superposed black scales on the upper 

 preapical bar. Hind wing : basal area green, an oval white spot 

 in middle of cell, a transverse white bar in middle of interspace 7, 

 and the precostal area edged with white above ; beyond the cell is a 

 highly sinuous, curved, discal, white band, followed by a complete 

 series of longitudinally rectangular, white, terminal spots, the space 

 between the discal band and the white spots green, this colour 

 continued along the veins that separate the spots up to the 

 termen. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen fuscous, the 

 antennae with pale tips, the thorax with some white hairs ;
