large, broadly rounded from the base to the apex; 

 its centre depressed. 



The front ocellus lies clearly outside the frontal 

 depression. Marginal vein thickened, about one-half 

 longer than the stigmal, which is shorter than the 

 post-marginal. Antennal joints stout, pilose, elongate. 

 The 4 th segment of the abdomen is the longest. 

 The apical segment is not produced into a stylus ; it 

 is not one half the length of the 6 th, which is twice 

 longer than the 5 th. 



A genus readily known from all the described 

 genera by the long spine on the scutellum. 



Acantheury toma spinifera sp. n. 



Black, the basal three-fourths of the antennal scape, 

 the apex of the 4 anterior femora and the 4 anterior 

 tibiae rufo-testaceous, the tarsi white; wings hyaline, 

 the nervures fuscous. $. Length 3,5 mm. 



Sambos, Sarawak, Borneo, August. 



Head and thorax umbilically punctate, covered 

 with white pubescence, as are also the legs. The 

 part of the head betwear the raised lateral border 

 and the eyes is irregularly crenulated. The scutellum 

 is more strongly punctured — almost reticulated — 

 than the mesonotum. There is a smooth, shining, 

 oblique transverse quadrangular area on the base of 

 the metanotum at the sides ; the centre of the apical 

 depression of the metanotum is irregularly transversely 

 striated, almost smooth in the middle; the rounded 

 sides are closely reticulated. Pleurae obliquely reti- 

 culated, the metapleurae more closely and regularly 

 than the mesopleurae. 



Eury toma tinctip ennis, sp. n,. 



Black, the antennal scape, the 4 front legs, the 

 hinder trochanters, base of femora, their apex more 

 narrowly, and the base and apex of tibiae, rufo-testa- 

 ceous, the hind tarsi pallid testaceous ; wings hyaline 

 to near the stigma, the rest fuscous, the nervures 

 dark testaceous. Antennal flagellum, head, thorax and 

 legs covered with white pubescence. Tegulae black. 

 9 Length 3 mm. 



Inner orbits margined, the keel continued to the 

 end of the malar space, thicker below than above ; 

 the outer edge of malar space broadly keeled. Vertex 

 and, outer part of the front closely reticulated, as is 

 also the upper part of vertex. Thorax above reticulated, 

 the scutellum more strongly than the rest, the lateral 

 lobes of mesonotum more finely, irregularly, sparsely 

 and strongly aciculated, the metanotum with the trans- 

 verse striae stronger than the longitudinal, and de- 

 pressed in 'the centre. Propleurae aciculated, the top 

 with a curved keel, the lower part bluntly angled 

 downwards, the under side with a keel which is 

 narrower and is broadly, roundly curved upwards. 

 Base of mesopleurae closely longitudinally striated, 

 the apex reticulated. The third joint of the antennae 

 is fully one quarter longer than the 4 th. 



Eurytoma borneana, sp. n. 



Black, the base and apex of the 4 front tibiae, 

 the hinder knees and the tarsi pale testaceous, the 

 wings clear hyaline, very irridescent, the nervures 

 testaceous; the hairs on the flagellum of the antennae 

 white, as long as two of the joints; the head and 

 thorax sparsely covered with white hairs, the legs 

 densely with white pubescence. Abdominal petiole 

 nearly twice the length of the hind coxae. S- Length 

 3 mm. 



Face rugosely punctured, the eyes marginde by 

 a crenulated border with a distinct outer edge. Thorax 



above umbilically jninctured except on the metanotum 

 which is depressed in the centre and irregularly trans- 

 versely striated, the rest reticulated. Propleurae acicu- 

 lated, more strongly below than above; above the 

 middle is a stout straight oblique keel below which 

 is a narrower, more oblique one with the apex 

 roundly curved. The base of the mesopleurae is 

 smooth; from the smooth base runs an obliquely 

 striated area, which becomes gradually widened from 

 the base to the apex ; the rest is irregularly umbilically 

 punctate. Metapleurae more closely and finely and 

 regularly reticulated than the sides of the metanotum. 

 Parapsidal furrows distinct, the middle lobe of meso- 

 notum triangular, as long as it is wide at the base,

Argynnis adippe Rückerü subspec. nov. 



Î Der A. adippe ornatissima Leech nahe und der 

 von mir in Japan und auf Tsushima gefangenen locuples 

 Butl. verwandt, von beiden Rassen und überhaupt 

 allen andern adippe-Unterarten aber verschieden durch 

 den dunkelblaugrünen Anflug der Oberseite aller Flügel. 

 Dies melanotische Colorit erinnert etwas an die Ober- 

 flächenfärbung von Arg. kamala Moore aus dem Hima- 

 laya und an unsere Arg. paphia V fa. valesina. Die 

 wie bei locuples äußerst prägnanten schwarzen Sub- 

 marginalmakeln der Vorderflügel verraten zugleich eine 

 Annäherung an Arg. nerippe Feld. 



Auf der Unterseite ist Rückerti ausgezeichnet durch 

 die breit ausgeflossenen schwarzen Makeln der Vdflgl. 

 und die noch ausgedehnter als bei xanthodippe Fix. 

 schwarz umringelten Augenflecken der Htflgl. Dagegen 

 ist der basale und mediane Silberbelag der Hinter- 

 flügel äußerst reduziert.

 Universität in München, dem Besitzer der größten und 

 bestgepflegten Privatsammlung der bayerischen Resi- 

 denzstadt. 



A. Rückerti ist weitaus die dunkelste aller bekannten 

 ostasiatischen Rassen, und unterseits die am lebhaftesten 

 und buntesten gezeichnete, so daß sie als eine der 

 schönsten adippe-Formen aufgefaßt werden kann. 



Pieris rapae eumorpha subspec. nova. 



Ein deutlicher Uebergang zu rapae orientalis Obthr. 

 vom Amurgebiet und in der Entwicklung fast ebenso 

 vorgeschritten wie die japanischen Rassen niphonica 

 Verity und lysicles Frühst. Der Apicalfleck der Vdflgl. 

 sehr groß, breit, tiefschwarz. v mit sehr großen, 

 schwarzen Medianflecken der Vdflgl. und ebensolchen 

 Costalmakel der Htflgl. 



Vdflgl. unterseits nur mit leichtem, grünlichem 

 Basalanflug, der alle Ostasiaten kennzeichnet — Htflgl. 

 gleichmäßig strohgelb —, dunkler als bei allen euro- 

 päischen Formen.
