 white ; alKloiiK'n whiti*. 



Uppeisido : tore win^s white, with narrow black costal 

 borcliM- and black apical patch extending broadly to the angle. 



Iliiul winjjfs similar, the black mari^nn wido at lirdt, but 

 narrowini; down to ai)Ljlt' ; friiigo-s black. 



Underside : tore wings black, the white patch docs not 

 quite coincide with the nppcr.si<le ; near the apex are three 

 yellow quadrate spots and one dot. 



Hind wing'3 black ; the basal patch, which is lenticular and 

 does not reach the body, is dark red ; there is a narrow white 

 exterior band beginning halt'way along the costa and termi- 

 nating abruptly halt'way towards the angle below vein 4 ; 

 inside this is a narrow red band reaching nearly to the angle ; 

 there is a large subtriangular central patch of very pale 

 yellowish. 



Expanse 52 mm.

Delias hotlmelU, sp. n. (PI. VI. fig. 6.) 



(J. Head, palpi, legs, and antennae black ; hairs on under- 

 side of thorax golden, on upperside bluish wliife. 



Upi)erside : tore wings black, with rounded white patclv 

 extending only to end of cell. 



Hind wings t^imilar, but the white covers most of the wing,, 

 leaving a broad margin on the outsiile. 



Underside : tore witigs, the white patch reaches the end of 

 cell, which is maikeJ by a strong dash, and there is also a 

 longitudinal streak of black within the cell ; the boundary of 

 the white patch is not so well defined as on the upperside ;; 

 the apical patch is crossed by an irregular tapering yellow 

 band, which n)ight be described as composed of four spots. 



The hind wing is best described as pale straw-yellow, the 

 restricted base and the fold rich golden ycliow. It is followed 

 by a black streak along the custa, then comes a lenticular 

 whitish mark, and then a distinct black band from the body 

 to the middle of t!ie costa; alter a short interruption this id- 

 continued as a narrow marginal black border as far as the 

 angle; from the angle and at right atigles to the inner margiu 

 starts a broadish black band, edged externally with scarlet^ 

 but this does not reach the costa.
