1022 Additions: PIERIDAE. By J. Rober. 



form the case onlj' in the $ (Rober in Seitz mentions this band of the forening above neither in the $)." — 

 We remark hereto that it was not necessary to state this difference from the q in^ tliis species specially, because 

 it is a general character of the $2 of this genus; to my knowledge only regnidas (23 c) does not exhibit a disco- 

 cellular band, but this is presumably an aberrative form, whereas the normal $$ probably have such a band. 



palaestra. Dapt. palaestra Hpff. (p. 76) has of late been regarded as a distinct species, for which reason we have 



equadorka. figured it (194 g). — equadorlca Strand from Ecuador (Sarayacu) has been described as follows: ,, Distinguished 

 from the two tj-pes (o^') of the species Ipng before me by its larger size (expanse of wings: 57, length of fore- 

 wings: 34, length of body: 22 mm), a broader marginal band (at the apex of the forewing 11 mm, along the 

 vein 3 in the fore-n^ing 4 mm, in the hindwing 41/9 mm broad) which is besides not pjoximally bordered undulately 

 in the hindwing; besides by the whitish under surface and the narrower (in f. pr. triangular) discocellular spot. 



loranthi. Mathania loranthi Jorg. (194 g) is much smaller than hucofhea (23 b) and easily discernible by the 



much more taperingly extended hind^^dngs. The indistinct marking beneath is entu-ely like that of leucothea. 

 Common in the valleys of the Andalgala at altitudes of 150 to 250 m, in February and May. Larva on Loranthus 

 eugenioides Kth., of the iisual Pierid shape; pupa remarkably bent. 



cam::oi. M. carrizoi Gi'ac. ,,Most closely allied to M. leucothea, but quite different; wings uni-coloured white 



with a faint greenish hue, less than in leucothea; more yellowish; this comparatively more on the upper surface 

 of the wings. Fore^^■ing of carrizoi with a slightly yellowish or greenish apex -■vhich in leucothea is of a deep and 

 very pure light green coloiu", and on the ground there is a row of small greenish clouds, forming a semicircle 

 round the margins of the wings, concentrical to them. This varies greatly in my 4 specimens, so that in one 

 it is hardly visible, whilst in the others it is more distinctly marked; a yellow, faint, little visible dot is the 

 dot, in the space of the two veins forming the disc of the hindwing; body haired, in one specimen at the base 

 of the eyes a small dot as in leucothea. Antennae similar as in leucothea. Size variable, expanse: 44 to 

 58 mm. Catamarca (Sa. Cruz and El Saladillo, La Rioja, Tucuman) and Bolivia." 



melissa. Hesperocharis melissa Ferr. de Aim. Size approximately that of erota (23 e). Tlae description says: 



forewing white or greyish-wliite, apex slightly fox-coloured. Hindwing light greyish-white. Forewing beneath 

 above, hindwing beneath yellowish-white, often at the base with an orange spot. Thorax black with light stripes. 

 Abdomen light yellowish. Antennae blacldsh, at the apex yellowish. It flies in July. Patria: Rio de Janeiro. 



quiclnia. H. marchali ab. quichua Jorg. is a form more intensely marked above and beneath. Catamarca, 1640 m, 



in December. 



lacty;a. H. lactea Burm. from Ai'gentina seems to be extremely rare, since it has no more been discovered 



of late. The original description says: ,,This species has the size and shape of anguitia, but the forewing is a 

 little obtuser. Body black and covered with long white hair; antennae black with a yellowish-red club, palpi 

 and frons with black hair intermixed with white hairs ; wings milky-white, the costal margin slightly yellowish 

 towards the apex, beneath the forewing has a somewhat yellow costal and distal margin, of the same colour 

 is the hindwing beneath, with a saffron-coloured dot at the base." 



meridiona- TeriocoHas atinas meridionalis Jorg. from Argentina (Aconquija Mountains), at altitudes of 1500 



'^*' to 2700 m, is smaller than atinas (26 d) and above and beneath of a paler yellow ground-colour, and — especially 



shlptoni. beneath — much less marking. — ab. shiptoni Jorg. shows brownish ground-coloming on the hindwing beneath, 



with a very indistinct marking. The imagines fly in November and at the end of May on tlie blossoms of Com- 



positae, Loranthaceae, Acanthaceae, Verbenaceae and Labiatae. The larva lives on Cassia hookeriana Gill. 



The pupa is bent back, and the part of the wing-cases is bulging very much. 



ilavia. About Terias flavia Burm. occurring in Argentina (Tucuman) I cannot tell anything, as I neither 



possess specimens of it nor have access to the description. 



T. arbela Hhn. (24 b) also occurs in Argentina. 



formosanus. T. thyttietus foritiosanus Jorg. from Argentina (Formosa), flying in November, has a somewhat broader 



black margin of the forewing and a diffuse, narrow, black border of the hindwing. 



T. agave Cr. (24 f ) also occm's in Argentina. 



peruvicola. Catopsllia rurina peruvicola Strand from South East Peru has been described from a ^J being very much 



marked beneath. 



occidentalis. CoHas occidentalis iicdd. from the western coast of North America resembles chrysomelas (27 a); but 



it has rounder wings and is lighter yeUow, the black marginal marking narrower, the $ has onlj^ bknred, narrow, 

 black marginal marldngs, no submarginal spots and a more or less distinct discal spot. 



astraea. Col. astraea Edw. from the North American western coast is in the ^ similar to ariadne (27 f ), but 



a little larger, with more pointed wings and less orange-colorured. The hindwing has no discal spot. The $ is
