 line nearly parallel to margin, and a well-marked antemarginal line 

 reaching vein 2. Hind wing with a band of five ocelli bordered with 

 bluish silvery-white, this edging being wider on the distal side than in 

 euptychioides. Anterior ocelli in 5 and 6 equal in size, the one in 4 

 smaller than the others, the one in 3 larger than the others, the one 

 in 2 larger than the first 3. All ocelli with black pupil and white

7. Pieridopsis virgo E. and J. 



Form obscurata f. nov. 



This corresponds to the 2 specimen described by Eoths. and Jord. 

 Nov. Zool. xii, p. 458, 1905. We have both sexes of this form. Some 

 specimens are quite without yellow markings on the hind wings below. 

 In two specimens the hind wing above has a heavier dark margin, 

 wider between veins 2 and 4. 



Form opaca f. nov. 



S 2 . Upperside as in virgo. Hind wing with heavy black marginal 

 border, wider between veins 2 and 4. 



Underside of fore wing as in virgo. Hind wing with bands obscured 

 posteriorly by a fuscous-black shade, leaving the anterior halves or less 

 of each band, with band of ocelli as in obscurata, and edged with a 

 narrower border of white along each side. 



Form infuscata f. nov. 



$ . Upperside of fore wing with white area not entering cell, but 

 forming a broad stripe on the inner margin, reaching slightly above 

 vein 2. 



Underside of fore wing with inner marginal stripe not reaching 

 vein 2. Costal bar and distal stripe alone remaining of the white area 

 in virgo. Hind wing as in virgo.
