314 New Forms of the Genus Delias (Pieridae) 



S . Upperside of fore wing with snow-white basal area reaching 

 further distad below 2 than in the type form, somewhat variable in 

 the size of the spot in 3, and of those beyond the cell ; discocellulars 

 marked thinly. Subapical spots pale pink. In one specimen the post- 

 discal area in cellules 3 to 5 is powdered with white. Hind wing as in 

 the type form but mostly with a narrower margin. 



Underside of fore wing with an ill-defined postdiscal band, crossed 

 by the black veins and only reaching vein 5 ; it is mostly broken up 

 into spots above vein 2 and sometimes does not reach vein 3 ; the 

 proximal edge is vertical to the inner margin and is less clearly denned 

 than the distal edge. Subapical orange spot as in the type form. 

 Hind wing with postdiscal band more laved with light orange-yellow 

 than in the type form, its outer edge more sinuous than crenate. The 

 discal spot is much smaller and is either white, cream, yellow, or dusted 

 with black ; it is sometimes connected with the postdiscal band either 

 at the upper or lower angle of cell, but rarely there is a connection at 

 both ends, in which case a black postdiscal spot is cut off; in some 

 cases the discal spot is reduced to a dot and in one specimen is obsolete. 

 The stripe below the cell, present in the type form, is absent in this 

 race. 



? . Upperside of fore wing not dusted with black. Hind wing 

 without intranervular streaks on the black margin. 



Underside as in the $ , and showing similar variations. 



Mount Kunupi, Menoo Valley, 6,000 to 8,000 feet, November to 

 January. A series of both sexes. 



20. Delias alepa Jord., kunupiensis subsp. nov. 



Distinguished by its broader black margins. 



$ . Upperside of fore wing with broader black margins, filling in the 

 base of cellule 6 or sometimes a white dot here. Hind wing with a 

 heavier black margin than in the type form. 



Underside of fore wing with relative black and white areas as above. 

 Hind wing with the red line produced farther beyond vein 5, and 

 in some cases reaching 6, the black area produced farther beyond 6. 



? . Upperside of fore wing with black margins broader than in the 

 $ , more so below vein 4 ; one or two subapical white spots. Hind 

 wing with much broader margins than in S , but less so than in 

 loeiskei weiskei Ribbe. 



Underside of fore wing with black margin little broader than in $ . 

 Hind wing as in the 3 , the black area not always invading the cell.
