As said before, these vein characters will not be always ascertainable 

 without some slight vexation ; but, with the help of a good lens and a little 

 benzine or spirits of wine, none of them should oft'er any serious obstacle 

 to running down an insect. The best way to count the veins is round the 

 edge of the wing, vein 2 being a good starting point as it is the first given 

 off from the cell ; vein 11 is the last vein given off from the cell. 



The larvse of nearly all the Pieridce are green in colour and of the same 

 type, some few are somewhat hairy, most are somewhat minutely tubercu- 

 late ; the pupae are somewhat varied in shape, but all can be referred to 

 three types at the most : one, the normal, suspended like that of a Papilio 

 with a nose-point and the ventral line of wings but little prominent, an- 

 other like this but with the nose-point somewhat lengthened and curved, 

 the wing outline ventrally very prominent, the whole pupa compressed 

 laterally, a third suspended by tail and body-band also, but the band so 

 tight as to press the pupa against the suspension surface : the nose-point 

 somewhat lengthened and upturned, the dorsum flattened behind thorax 

 and laterally produced into a couple of teeth. The three forms of pupa are 

 characteristic of Catopsilia, Pareronia and Anapheeis respectively. 



Genus Leptosia. 

 Only one species. Size 1" to 2" . . , . xiphia. (PL I, fig. 58.) 



A weak, white, fragile-looking butterfly, found everywhere, even in Sind, 



keeping to the shady underwood. It has a large black spot on outer area 



of forewing. Larva and pupa normal ; foodplant Capers. 



Genus Delias. 



A. Hindwing underside : red marginal band margined 



inwardly with black. Size : 3" to S"-30 . . . . eucharis. (PI. I,

B. Hindwing underside: red baud not margined inward- 



ly with black. Size : 2"-6 to 3"-3 hierta.
