between the dry- and wet-season broods consists, in the latter, of 

 a broadening of the black irroration at apex of fore wing on the

Genus SALETABA. 

 Saletara, Distant, Rhop. Malayana, 1885, p. 287.

tS . Fore wing : costa very nearly straight ; apex acute ; termeii 

 straight, slightly convex posteriorly, passing with an even curve 

 into the rounded tornus ; dorsum straight ; cell long, more than 

 half length of wing ; venation much as in Appias, but middle 

 discocellular proportionately shorter, somewhat as in A. lalaye 

 and allies ; vein 8 absent, vein 9 out of 7 very close to apex, much 

 more so than in Ajyias. Hind wing : as in Appias, but the cell 

 proportionately longer. $ . Tore and hind wings : as in 6 , but 

 apex of fore wing more blunt, and vein 9 as well as vein 8 absent.

c? . Upperside, fore wing : pale sulphur-yellow, darker yellow 

 towards the tornus ; base irrorated with black scales ; costa 

 narrowly, termen more broadly black, the black edging not 

 extended to the tornal angle. Hind wing : rich chrome-yellow, 

 fading to sulphur along the dorsum ; base slightly irrorated with 

 black scales. Underside : rich cadmium-yellow, basal third of costa 

 of fore and upper part of dorsal margin of hind wing slightly 

 paler. Antennae black, speckled on the inner side with white ;

 above greenish, thorax with bluish-grey hairs, abdomen yellowish 

 white ; beneath : thorax yellowish, abdomen white, anal- tufts dark 

 brown. $ . Upperside : rich cadmium-yellow. Fore wing : base 

 very broadly to near apex of cell irrorated with black scales ; 

 the costa, the apex very broadly and terminal fourth of wing jet- 

 black. Hind wing: base and a broad band to tornus irrorated 

 with black scales ; costa pale sulphur-yellow ; termen somewhat 

 broadly black, the inner margin of the black area diffuse ; cilia

 basally with dusky black, dorsum whitish ; a postdiscal, evenly 

 curved, black band crosses from vein 7 to tornus and is edged
