Pierine Butterflies of the Genus Delias. IGl 



Var. 3. Ik sanaca^chri/sorrhoea. 



Six specimens, including the type, in B. M. from Davjiling 

 and Kulu, one ot" uhicli is tioni tlie Godn)an and Salvin col- 

 lection J also two without locality in coll. Ilewitson. 



Var. 4. D. Ilearsayi. 



Four specimens, Kulu, Landoor; type, Barrackpore, in 

 B. M. Two of these from the Godman and Salvin collec- 

 tion. The type has the basal spot orange, doubtless from 

 discoloration. 



Var. 5. I). BoT/lei = ania7'a7itha. 



Four specimens : male (type), Darjiling; two males and 

 one female, Sikhim. 



The type of this species differs a little from the others, the 

 whitish spots being less defined and streaky, the basal spot 

 red instead of yellow, the anal patch dull saffron-yellow ; the 

 figure by von Mitis is very like it, but is from a slightly less 

 discoloured example. 



Var. 6. D. subnuhila. 



Moupin, Huaiig-mu-chang, and Pu-tsu-fong, Western 

 China {Leech). 



Var. 7. D. helladonna (typical). 



Male, N.W. Himalayas ; female, " Ind. orient." One pair 

 only. B. M. 



The female is an old and somewhat discoloured specimen, 

 the yellow patches having become faded and reddish ; it, 

 however, agrees well in pattern with Donovan's figure. I 

 believe the female figured by Leech (pi. xxxvii. fig. 4) should 

 be referred to this variety, but the male (fig. 3) to D. Hors- 

 fieldii. However, it is of no great consequence, as all these 

 forms grade into one another in a hopelessly inconsiderate 

 manner. 



Var. 8. D. Horsfieldii^-=.surya and zelima. 



Thirteen examples varying in size, elongation of wing, and 

 size of discal spots in secondaries ; also five intergrades 

 between this variety and the next. Kali valley, N.W. India ; 

 Kulu, Darjiling, Bhutan, Nepal, and Burma. 



Of the eighteen examples, twelve were received from 

 Messrs. Godman and Salvin, including all the connecting 

 links between typical D. Horsfieldii and D. ithiela.
