184 LLOYDS NATURAL HISTORY. 



hind-wings have the costal area and cell silvery-grey, and the 

 lower part of the wing yellow, edged above with black towards 

 the base. In the female, the fore-wings are black on the costal 

 area, and over the cell and beneath it creamy-yellow ; an ob 

 lique creamy-yellow band crosses the wing beyond the cell, 

 and there are two small yellow spots near the top ; the hind- 

 wings are yellow, narrowly bordered with black. 



The type of Enantia, Hiibner, is E. lidnia (Cramer), which 

 is found in Surinam and on the Upper Amazon. The wings 

 expand about two inches, and are somewhat oval. They are 

 white, with narrow black borders in the male, and broad black 

 borders in the female, and the hind-wings are yellow beneath, 

 with two longitudinal dusky stripes. In the male the fore- wings 

 are narrow, but in the female they are as broad as the hind-wings. 



E. melite (Linn.), which Messrs. Godman and Salvin have 

 taken as the type of Enantia, has rather narrow fore-wings, 

 especially in the female ; it measures two inches in expanse. 

 In the male the fore-wings are orange, with a black band 

 running from the base through the middle of the wing to the 

 lower end of the black apical border ; there are two yellow 

 spots near the tip, and a black bar at the end of the cell. The 

 hind-wings have a pale costa, and a black border. The female 

 is yellow, with black borders to the fore-wings and sometimes 

 to the hind-wings, and a black bar at the end of the cell on 

 the fore-wings. The under side of the hind-wings is yellow, 

 with two dusky stripes. It is common in South America. 



The type of Pseudopieris^ Godm. & Salv. is P. nehemia 

 (Boisduval), a common species in Mexico and South America. 

 It measures about an inch and a half across the wings, and much 

 resembles an immaculate Pieris rape?, both in size, shape, and 

 colour, being of a greenish-white, very narrowly bordered with 

 brown at the tips of the fore-wings. On the under side, the 

 hind-wings and tip of the fore-wings are buff.
