456 MR.A.G. BUTLER ON NEW EXOTIC LEPIDOPTERA. [May 23, 
Underside. Front wings white, yellowish at base ; anterior margin 
brown; apical edge rich brown, tapering nearly to the anal angle, 
and crossed near its centre by a band of five spots (the lowest one a 
mere speck), the three upper ones yellow, the other two white. 
Posterior wings, basal half yellow, and inner margin broadly yellow ; 
apical half white ; outer margin with a broad rich brown marginal 
band, widest at the anal angle, and tapering to a point at the apex ; 
crossed by a band of scarlet, interrupted by the nervures, beginning 
at the inner anal edge, and crossing the band obliquely to near the 
extremity of the first median nervule, and thence upwards through 
the centre of the band to the apex. 
Hab. Mysol. 
This species is closely allied to Pieris mysis, Godt. (Australia). 
The points of distinction are as follows :— 
Pieris cruentata. 
Upperside. Front wings much more suddenly angulated ; front 
margin more curved ; hind margin much shorter; apical band be- 
ginning much nearer the apex, and only enclosing two full-sized 
spots, which are yellow instead of white. Posterior wings much 
longer ; marginal band not sinuated on its inner edge. 
Underside. Front wings, anterior brown margin not running gra- 
dually into the apical band, but meeting it at a sharp angle; spots 
on apical band not all white, as is usually the case with P. mysis. 
Posterior wings much more suffused with yellow, which is paler, and 
softened off into the white, instead of terminating abruptly ; marginal 
band only extending from the anal angle to the apex, not continued 
halfway up the interior margin. 
3. Pieris vectictusa. (Pl. XXVI. fig. 3.) 
Upperside. Front wings cream-colour, ferruginous at the base ; 
apical edge rich brown, tapering nearly to the anal angle, sinuated 
on its inner edge, and enclosing a nearly triangular yellow spot, its 
point touching the anterior margin ; a broad brown band at the end 
of the cell, widest on the anterior margin, and terminated at the 
median nervure. Posterior wings deeper cream-colour, slightly fer- 
ruginous at the base; rich brown along the outer margin; an ob- 
lique band showing through from the underside, crossing the wing, 
at the end of the cell, from the anterior to the inner margin near 
the anal angle. Body ferruginous. 
Underside. Front wings cream-colour, deeper towards the base ; 
anterior and basal half of the cell bright orange; apical edge rich 
brown, tapering nearly to the anal angle, sinuated on its upper edge, 
and enclosing a nearly oval, oblique, ochreous spot, its upper end 
touching the front margin; a broad brown band at the end of the 
cell, widest on the anterior margin, and terminated at the median 
nervure. Posterior wings ochreous, basal portion greyish; base 
orange, interrupted by the nervures ; an oblique brown band cross- 
ing the wing at the end of the cell from the anterior to the interior 
margin, near the anal angle, its upper extremity slightly widening
