with blackish-grey irrorations. Hind wing with the base 

 and interno-median interspace irrorated slightly with grey ; 

 outer margin with large blackish spots on the veins down to 

 the second median branch, more or less confluent. 



Underside coloured as in the male ; apical yellow area 

 limited by a blackish irregular thin band or line ; costal band 

 and connecting band as on the upperside, the former uni- 

 formly coloured up to the costa. Hind wing with the trans- 

 verse line of irrorations as in the male, but darker ; costa at 

 the base touched with ochre. 



Expanse of wings, <$ ? 2-j^ inches.

Allied to A. olfernd) the male differs above in the black 

 apical patch of the fore wing, and below in having no markings 

 except the few grey scales across the end of the cell of the 

 hind wing ; the female differs widely, having no marks on 

 the hind wing above except the marginal spots, and under- 

 neath the markings are peculiar to itself. 



There are examples of this species in the British Museum 

 from Upper Tenasserim. 



10. Appias retexta, n. sp. 



$ . Upperside white. Fore wing with black costal line, 

 below which it is slightly irrorated with grey for two thirds 

 its length ; apical band narrow, formed by blackish spots 

 fining inwards on the veins, more or less confluent on the 

 margin, and decreasing in size to the first median branch, 

 from which a blackish marginal line runs down to the hinder 

 angle. Hind wing with some small indistinct marginal spots 

 running slightly up the veins, which are obsolete in some 

 specimens. 



Underside white, a few grey irrorations on the costa of 

 fore wing for two thirds of its length ; costal and outer mar- 

 ginal lines black ; otherwise both wings are unmarked. 



$ . Upperside white. Fore wing with the costal line black ; 

 a broad black longitudinal band from the base filling up the 

 whole discoidal space with the exception of a thin streak 

 above the median vein, and reaching up to the costa, joining 

 the apical black band by a thin black band along the third 

 median branch ; a black suffusion below the cell, covering 

 the base of both wings and running out in the interno-median 

 area for half the length of the fore wing ; apical black band 

 extending for more than a third of the costa, its inner margin 

 excavated on the lower radial vein, leaving a white square- 

 shaped space between it and the discoidal band, then curving
