Additions and Corrections. 



p. 57: read eronima instead of evonhta. 



Pieris elodia forma deserta Fruhgf., from Ecuador, has on the underside the apex to the forewing deserta.f° 

 pale straw-coloured and the same colour on the upper surface of the hindwing. 



p. 60: eleiisis belongs to the genus Lepfophohia. When I worked out the genera Pieris and Leptopjhohia 

 I knew eleiisis only from the description. 



p. 62.: Leptophobia gonzaga Fruhftf., from Ecuador (Papalacta), captured by R. Haensch in the middle gonzaga. ^t 

 of January, js somewhat larger thaia eJcone, hindwing more elliptical, ground-colour white, forewing similar 

 to that of pinara, the costal more extended brown-green, the anal margin powdered with blackish almost to 

 the middle of the wing. The black distal border of the forewing likewise extending at the hindmargin 

 proximally to the middle of the wiiig, otherwise almost of the same outline as in f'mara, especiallj' in the 

 proximal . median incision. At the apex of the cell of the forewing the black band is absent. Hindwing 

 ^\"ith black ditfuse basal area; distal margin j^ellowish with some black dots at the extremities of the veins. 

 Under surface: forewing whitish; distal border, as far as the black margin of the upperside shows through, 

 suffused with dull yellowish. Hindwing yellowish white, slight^ glossy, with small black triangular spot at 

 the end of the cell and j-ellowish basal area. ?, upper surface: forewing broadly margined all round with 

 brown-black, so that the white ground-colour is reduced to a mushroom-shaped discal patch. Hindwing 

 yellowish, costal and anal region defined by a thin black line; the central area bearing 2 black dots. Under 

 surface as in the cf . Fringes in both sexes yellowish. Only known to me from the description. 



Lept. eleusis mollitica Fnilist., from Peru (Huancabamba), has a more pointed forewing and rounder mollitica./ 

 hindwing than helena. Upper surface jjurer white, in the wet-season form distinctly more broadly margined 

 with black than in helena. Costal part of the forewing dat'ker, more yellow instead of white. The dry- 

 season form appears to have a narrower border than the dry-season form of helenn, but of a deeper black. 



p. 64: Perrh. pi;rrha alethina Btlr., from Costa Rica, is in the female similar to the malenka-2; the alethina. /^ ^ 

 su])apical spots are absent, the spots of the median band are sharply yellow, the black spots of the anterior 

 band larger and distinct, the black median band of the hindwing is absent. — Aberration? 



p. 65: read anfodi/ca instead of aufodi/ca. 



p. 67: Archon. tiigripennis has a black forewing and a small red spot on the hindwing; hades Friihst. appears 

 to be synonymous with it. — In rosacea the three white spots on the forewing are small and well separated, 

 the hindwing has two deep rose-red oval spots. — approximata has the rose-red spot on the hindAving nearer 

 to the distal margin, it is broader, uniform in colour, and divided by three veins. The yellow spot on the 

 under surface is much smaller. Found in the Polochic Valley. 



p. 68: Appias peregrina form. nov. (26 c), from Cuba, I consider a form of janeira Bonningh. The peregiina. J^^ 

 latter I formerly regarded as an aberrant form of drusilla because the author said nothing about the very 

 different shape. It is not necessar}' here to describe the shape, as it can be seen from the figure. I have - 

 before me two c"cf of perecjrina; in these the upper surface is not glossy white, but strongly yellow, parti- 

 cularly on the hindwing, the proximal part of the costal margin ot the forewing is more strongly blackened 

 than in drmilla and the black border of the forewing is not extended to the inner angle, but scarcely to 

 the 1. median vein. On the underside the basal half of the cell of the forewing is yellow and the hindwing 

 has a subanal yellowish stripe from the base to the distal margin. — The existence of two American species 

 of Appias is consequently established. 



p. 71: read teutamis (= epimene Hew.)_ instead of teutanis. The ? is black above and has on the 

 forewing a broad red median band, which gives it a resemblance to the red-banded species of Heliconius 

 Instead of froezem Fldr. read affinis Piob. spec nov. (22 d). — CafasHcfa troezene F/dr., from Colombia, is affinis.f" ^^ 

 above yellow, similar to e.rimia (22 g), but the wings are smooth-margined, the yellow median markings are troezene. y-o" 

 broader and more narrowed anteriorly, in the cell is a comma-shaped yellow spot, hindwing with much 

 broader and not dentate black marginal markings. Under surface similar to toniyris, but the white central 

 markings of the forewing are twice as broad and the dark central markings of the hindwing much broader 

 and pointed distally at the veins. , 



p. 72: Catasticta incerta Dogn., from Ecuador (Loja), is not really identical with manco; it is, if not incerta. f^/ 

 a separate species, at least a good local form of manco. The upper surface is yellower, has much less black 

 marking and large white marginal spots. The ground-colour of the underside of the forewing is much 

 yellower, instead of the small grey triangular marginal spots in manco there are round resp. square yellow' 

 spots in incerta, the hindwing has more black marking and deeper yellow spots. j, 



p. 74: Catasticta poujadei Dogn., from Ecuador (Loja), is very similar to clara (22 g), but smaWev, poujadei.f*^ 

 the uppper surface of the hindwing is almost the same, but the forewing has larger yellow spots, some of which
