Fam. Pieridae. 



Appias mahana. 



Male. Allied to A. indra, but on upperside differs in having 

 the apical black border less prominent, narrower, extending to 

 a less distance posteriorly (terminating before reaching the 

 lower median vein), and containing five rather large speckle- 

 bordered spots, one between every two veins. Underside — apex 

 of fore wing whitish buff, brown-speckled, bordered by a short 

 black-speckled curved streak : hind wing whitish buff, brown- 

 speckled throughout, a series of these speckles also forming ill- 

 defined, uninterrupted, transverse streaks ; discocellular black 

 spot prominent. 



Exp. 2| inches. 



Hah. Darjiling {A. Orote). In coll. F. Moore. 



Ajjpias narendra. 



Allied to A. indra and A. Lucasi. 



Male. Upperside — fore wing with broad black apex showing 

 two white spots ; hind wing with a narrow black-speckled 

 margin, the speckles also slightly extending up each vein. 

 Underside — apex of fore wing buff-brown, black subapical 

 band broad : hind wing buff-brown, densely speckled with 

 brown scales, a series of these forming irregular, uninterrupted, 

 zigzag, transverse streaks ; discocellular spot small, black.

Hah. Ceylon. In coll. F. Moore. 



Terias cingala. 



Upperside yellow ; fore wing with broad brown outer mar- 

 ginal band ; hind wing with narrow brown marginal band. 

 Cilia brown. Underside pale yellow ; hind wing with two 

 slightly perceptible dusky transverse streaks. 



Exp. 1-j^ inch. 



Hah. Ceylon. In coll. F. Moore. 



Form of wings as in T. venata, but differs in having the 

 marginal band on fore wing scalloped and broadly terminating 

 at posterior angle as in T. drona. From T. rama (the Cey- 

 lonese ally of T. venata) it differs also in the same manner, as 

 well as being without a black discocellular streak on the un- 

 derside of fore Aving and the three subbasal brown spots and 

 two prominent transverse streaks on the hind wing. 



Terias pallitana. 

 Upperside yellow : fore wing with broad apical marginal
