terminal spots at the apices of veins 3 to 6, the anterior three joined on 

 the inner side by black loops. Upper dde : white. Fore wing : the form of 

 the markings as on the upperside, but the base of the cell with an irrora- 

 tion of green scales, the black, discocellular spot extended to the costa, 

 often washed with green or with a green centre to the black ; an apical 

 green patch including the termen anteriorly which is broadly traversed by 

 short lines of white that extend to the terminal margin and are faintly 

 lined with yellow. Hind wing : white with the basal area dusky green with 

 large, pyriform spots of the ground-colour in cell and interspace 7 ; beyond 

 this a subterminal series of green loops continued along the veins to the 

 margin, leaving a broad, white, curved, discal band and a series of large, 

 white, terminal spots in the interspaces ; the veins conspicuously lined with 

 yellow. Antennse ashy brown; head, thorax and abdomen whitish. — §. 

 Upper and Undersides : similar to those of the S , but the markings larger 

 and more clearly defined. Expanse : 40-50 mm. 



Larva. — Greenish yellow, with two longitudinal yellow bands and five 

 transverse lines of minute, black dots on each segment ; head yellow-green 

 with black dots. 



Pupa. — Brown ; head with a beak-like, curved process ; thorax somewhat 

 compressed, with a large tubercle on the ventral side and two smaller post- 

 erior tubercles on each side. 



The descriptions of larva and pupa are from Colonel Bingham's book. 

 The larva is probably like that of an Appias ; the pupa likewise as it has 

 the lateral points and the head-process. 



Habits. — The author knows nothing about the butterfly except 

 that a few specimens were caught in Karachi in Sind. It is 

 certainly not common there. Its distribution is given as "with- 

 in our limits recorded from the North-West of India, the Punjab 

 and Baluchistan. Found also in Arabia ; Persia ; the Pamirs ; 

 Egypt and North Africa." 



95. Synchloe lucilla. — c? . Upperside : lemon-yellow ; base of wings irrora- 

 ted by black scales. Fore wing : discocellulars with a broad, short trans- 

 versely oblique bar that does not extend to the costal margin, apex 

 from above the apical third of the costa in a curve (angulate at middle) to 

 the tornus, black, traversed obliquely by a more or less obscure, maculate, 

 narrow band of ground-colour ; cillia yellow, alternated with black. Hind 

 wing : uniform immaculate. Underside : duller, paler yellow. Fore wing : 

 the black discocellular mark shorter, the apical, black area of the upperside 

 showing through by transparency and irrorated with minute, black scales, 

 often an obscure, pink line along the costal and terminal margins ; the costa 

 towards apex with a series of small white spots, each spot inwardly defined 

 by a minute black dot. Hind wing : densely irrorated with black scales ; a 

 small, white discocellular spot and a series of white transverse spots along 

 the costal margin as in fore wing, but more distinct. Antennse yellowish 

 Tarown, head fuscous, collar pinkish, thorax fuscous, abdomen black on sides, 

 yellow beneath. S • Upperside : very pale sulphur-yellow. Fore wing : 

 black, markings as in the male but the discocellular bar broader and longer ; 

 the preapical, maculate band of the ground-colour in the black area more 

 distinct. Hind wing uniform, immaculate. Underside : ground-colour and 

 markings as in the male. Antennse, head and thorax, abdomen similar to 

 those of the male. Expanse : 33-42 mm. 



Habits. — Larva and pupa unknown, or at least not chronic- 

 led. The insect exists in the Punjab where it has been taken 

 at Oambellpore ; Attock ; Khairabad. Perhaps it should not
