310 New Forms of the Genus Delias (Pieridae) 



Kunupi, between 4,000 and 8,000 feet, November to January. It 

 exhibits some variability in the pattern of the hind wing below, and 

 we are unable to make any racial distinction. 



The specimens from the Weyland Mountains show a tendency to a 

 reduction of the black markings on the hind wing below. About half 

 or less of the total number of individuals show the subbasal band 

 broken in the cell, and a good many specimens have narrow black 

 streaks on the veins. 



13. Delias ndis Jord. aeg'le subsp. nov. 



Distinguished from the typical form by the smaller brown markings 

 on the hind wing. 



S . Upperside of fore wing with the black area extended to vein 3, 

 its edge straight and crossing the cell at nearly opposite vein 3. Hind 

 wing with broader black border. 



Underside of fore wing as in typical form. Hind wing with smaller 

 brown spots and larger black discal area. 



? . Upperside with broader black margins than in the $ . 



Underside of hind w T ing with markings as large as in the 3 of the 

 type form, but smaller than in its 2 . 



Biagi, Mambare River, British New Guinea (Meek), three $ $ , 

 two ? ? . 



At Owgarra in the same region, the allied bomemanni Ribbe occurs, 

 and it is possible that ndis may be a race of this, as was considered by 

 Jordan, I.e. 



14. Delias isocharis Roths, latiapicalis subsp. nov. 



Distinguished by the narrow black distal border of the fore wing. 



$ . Upperside of fore wing with black distal area much narrower 

 than in the type form and more as in ligata ; its edge is straight and 

 oblique to the margin. Hind wing as in the type form. 



Underside of fore wing as above, edge of distal black more distinctly 

 rounded, subapical yellow spots larger and forming a band from costa 

 to vein 4, or the spot in 4 small. Hind wing with inner marginal black 

 reduced between veins 2 and 4 and not always extended as an edging 

 to the red submarginal line. The black border reaching middle of 

 cellule 3 as in type form, but in many specimens this is reduced in 

 cellule 2. 



2 . Upper side of fore wing with narrower black area than in type 

 form. Hind wing with marginal black a little narrower than in type
