sott, fo-ood. c? . Upperside : white. Fore wing : base and 

 basal half of costa thickly irrorated with black scales ; a minute 

 black spot on the discocellulars ; the apical half of the costa, the 

 apex and the termen above vein 2 broadly black ; the inner margin 

 of the black colour broadly produced inwards in interspace 3 ; 

 three obliquely-placed spots of the ground-colour on the apical

area. Hind wing : uniform white with a minute black speck on 

 the discocellulars. Underside, fore wing : white ; costa at base 

 pea-green ; beyond with a broad black stripe that curves round 

 and crosses the wing postdiscally to the terminal margin above 

 vein 2 ; this black band produced prominently inwards in inter- 

 space 3; apex of wing beyond the black band yellowish, obscurely 

 dusted with black scales. Hind wing pale yellow, with verv 

 obscure postdiscal patches of white ; the whole wing irrorated 

 somewhat sparsely with minute black scales ; discocellular black 

 spot more or less conspicuous. $ . Upperside : white. Fore wing : 

 basal area up to nearly the apex of the cell densely irrorated with 

 blackish scales ; remainder of the wing black except lower apex 

 of cell, basal two-thirds of interspace 2, and basal third of inter- 

 space 3, which are white ; apex of wing with two, not three as in tf , 

 obliquely- placed white spots. Hind wing: dusky black, fading 

 inwardly on basal half of wing to diffuse dusky grey ; two or more 

 upper subterminal white spots. Underside : similar to that of the J . 

 Fore wing : the yellowish-green colour at base more extended : 

 the curved black band that crosses the wing very much broader 

 and produced inwards along the dorsuni for a short distance : 

 apical area greenish yellow, with an obscure series of pearly- white 

 patches between it and the black band, a similar short streak on 

 the tornus. Hind wing differs from that of the d in the deeper 

 yellow of the ground-colour, which however, is similarly irrorated 

 with black scales and bars ; a conspicuous subterminal series oi' 

 pearly-white patches. An intermediate form of the $ is common, 

 in which the black area on both fore and hind wings is much 

 restricted ; on the hind wing it is reduced to a simple terminal 

 edging that spreads diffusely inwards and obscurely encloses a
