APPIAS. 201 



black markings of the upperside on the fore wing restricted to the 

 upper half of the cell, and the markings on costa, the apex of 

 the wing and the termen altogether much narrower than in the 

 wet-season form. On the hind wing the markings are restricted 

 to a narrow macular band along the termen, with mere indications 

 of a dusky detached streak in the middle of the disc. Underside : 

 white in both sexes ; apex of fore wing and the whole of the hind 

 wing with an ochraceous tint. In the $ the black markings of 

 the upperside show through by transparency. Antennae, head, 

 thorax and abdomen as in the wet-season form.

Larva. " Beared a good many in Bombay during April and 

 May on Capparis horrida. The larva is long, green, somewhat 

 depressed, and has the rough surface and general aspect of a 

 Terias or a Catopsilia, but the anal extremity tapers a little, and 

 is slightly, but distinctly, bifid." 



Pupa. " The pupa is of quite a different type from Terias or 

 Catopsilia. It is closely attached to a leaf and the wing-cases do 

 not form a keel, but there is an acute dorsal prominence just 

 behind the head, and a transverse dorsal ridge in the middle 

 connecting two angular lateral processes. The head ends in a 

 short snout. The colour is variable and probably depends on 

 situation." (Davidson f Aitken.) 



Race zelmira, Cramer. cf $ . Differs from the typical form as 

 follows : Wet-season brood. c? Upperside, fore wing : base with 

 an obscure bluish tint, costa more broadly black ; apex and terinen 

 with a series of short, black streaks along the veins that are dilated 

 at their inner apices, and thus form a more or less incomplete, 

 transverse, postdiscal, excurved band that is not extended below 

 vein 3. Hind wing with a terminal series of triangular spots at 

 the apices of the veins. Underside : pure white. Fore wing : 

 markings as on the upperside. Hind wing : all the veins except 

 the basal portion of the median and of veins 5 and 6 conspicuously 

 bordered with black ; this gives the appearance of a series of three 

 transverse black lines that cross the wing, from the posterior one 

 of which other black lines radiate to the termen ; humeral angle 

 tinged with yellow. . Upperside : much as in libytliea, but the 

 black markings broader, more clearly defined. Fore wing : an 

 anterior, subterminal, transverse series of three or four elongate 

 spots of the white ground-colour is conspicuously apparent on the 

 black margin of the wing. Hind wing : the white ground-colour 

 much restricted and appears merely as a comparatively large 

 upper discal patch and four or five postdiscal spots. Underside : 

 white ; the black markings of the upperside show well through by 

 transparency, the areas covered by them are more or less densely 

 irrorated on the hind wing with yellow scales, which are also less 

 densely scattered over the apex of the fore wing.
