de Niceville calls Form II, and it is figured by Moore in Lep. Cey., 

 vol. i, pi. li, figs. 1, la, female (1881), as the female of Catophaga 

 lauJcapura, Moore, though all the black markings in the Lombok 

 variety are not as strongly developed as in the Ceylonese form 

 figured. The female which is primrose-yellow on both surfaces 

 de Niceville calls Form III, and it has been figured from Java in Hors- 

 field and Moore's Cat. Lep. Mas. E. I. C, vol. i, pi. iia, fig. 3, female 

 (1857), as Pieris neombo, Boisduval, and is almost certainly the Tachyris 

 albiva, Boisduval, ab. flava [flavia, Fruhstorfer, sic !] of Rober, Tijd. 

 voor Ent., vol. xxxiv, p. 282 (1891), from Flores, Kisser, Wetter and 

 Letti. It is not known if all three forms of the female occur also in 

 Bali, Sambawa and Sumba, but it. is probable that they do. It must 

 be understood that the figures referred to above in Lep. Cey. do not 

 actually portray our Lombok specimens, but they are given here to 

 indicate the form of coloration displayed by them.

Lombok (Fruhstorfer and Doherty), Sambawa (Doherty and Grose 

 Smith), Sumba {Pagenstecher). Besides the two synonyms of A. leis 

 given above, others in de Niceville's opinion are Pieris galathea, Felder ; 

 Pieris amasene, Boisduval \nec Cramer] ; Pieris agave, Felder ; Pieris 

 zoe, Vollenhoven ; Tachyris urania, Wallace; Tachyris jacquinotii, 

 "Wallace [nee Lucas] ; Tachyris alope, Wallace ; Gatophaga roepstorffii, 

 Moore; and Tachyris mata, Kheil. Dv. Pagenstecher records A. leis in 

 his second paper as Tachyris zoe, Vollenhoven, from Sumba. Like 

 A. albina, Boisduval, the female of this species is trimorphic. We have 

 received a good series of both sexes from Lombok, three females are 

 Form I, with the broad black band on the upperside of the fore wing 

 not bearing the usual five white spots, and the underside being white, 

 this form having been named ab. umbratilis, Fruhstorfer, in Berl. Ent. 

 Zeitsch., vol. xli, p. 392 (1896), vol. xlii, p. 10 (1897) ; and three speci- 

 mens are Form II, with the underside of the hindwing yellow, which 

 is the ab. satuela, Fruhstorfer ; Form III, Avith both wings on the upper- 

 side yellow, has not been received, but not improbably it is the ab. 

 citronella of Fruhstorfer, described in Berl. Ent. Zeitsch., vol. xli, p. 392 

 (1896), vol. xlii, p. 10 (J897). Mr. de Niceville does not propose to 

 criticise Mr. Fruhstorfer's remarks on Appias albiva, Boisduval, and 

 A. leis. The latter gentleman lias quite failed to understand those
