February. 
This is new to the Museum series. It differs a little from 
the figure in that the border of the secondaries is regularly 
dentate-sinuate internally, not enclosing spots of the ground- 
colour ; this, however, is a likely variation to occur in a 
species of Belenois, and may represent a seasonal phase.

How the describer of this species could possibly imagine it 
a variety or aberration of P. pigea (which shows no orange at 
the base of the primaries in the female) I cannot at all under- 
stand; its proper position is between /. astarte and P. orbona 
(of which I hold P. laréma, Boisd., to be the female *). The 
male, of which we previously possessed a rubbed example 
under my P. vidua, is of a similar character to P. astarte. 
Herr Lanz describes females of the wet phase with well- 
defined dark outer border to the primaries ; in all our speci- 
mens this border is reduced on the outer margin to small spots 
which terminate the veins (dry phase). 
* Prof. Aurivillius identifies Boisduval’s insect with “a very rubbed 
example of thysa, Hoptter ”’—a Belenois. I prefer an identification which 
does not require abrasion to make it answer.
