132 DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE. 



processu attenuato discum versus tendente aucto. Saccus glandularis pulverulentus, in mare 

 nervo antico area; discoidalis adhaerens, penicillo piano ex villis elongatis sericeis patentibus con- 

 flato, egregie opertus. Subtus flavedine ad basin saturatiore ; alae anticag in area anali palles- 

 centes. Carpus flavide virescens, villis longis laxis concoloribus vestitum : antenna fuscae 

 apicem versus ferrugineo tinctas. 



This species is very abundant in Java, and we have numerous specimens of both sexes. It is also con- 

 tained in our continental collections. Fabricius gives a distinct description of it in all his systematic works ; 

 it has not as yet been figured. 



57. Colias Jugurthina. Alee supra alba, ad basin fascia lata discum versus evanescente jlavd, 



limbo communi postico punctoque discoidali anticarum nigris ; apice nigricante alboque variegato, 

 costd limbo nigro basin versus in dentem dilatato - subtus straminece nitentes ad basin saturatiores 

 dimidio interiore anticarum albicante ; strigd maculari communi posticdfuscescente, singula insuper 

 puncto solitario discoideo obsoletojlavicante in anticis scepius deficiente. (Exp. alar. unc. 2J — 2f). 

 Wings above white, with a broad yellow fascia at the base, gradually paler towards the disk ; pos- 

 terior margins of both pairs and a discoidal spot of the fore-wings black, while the apex is 

 paler and variegated with irregular spots of the ground colour; costal border also black, 

 and spreading towards the base to a dentiform process, which sometimes touches the dis- 

 coidal spot ; underneath straw-coloured yellow and shining, the base being more saturated' 

 while the interior portion of the fore-wings is nearly white ; a macular series of obsolete 

 brown spots passes behind the disk through both pairs, while each wing has in the middle 

 of the disk a single obscure yellowish dot, which is sometimes wanting in the fore wings.

I have found it difficult in the comparison of a very extensive number of specimens, to discriminate this 

 species from its neighbours in the series, and I admit it with some uncertainty regarding its real distinctness. 

 The specimens in our collection agreeing with the character above given are all females, and it remains to 

 be determined whether they are not mere varieties of the 56th or 58th species. In several male specimens, 

 which resemble those of C. Alcmeone in all other points, a very faint discoidal spot is however observable. 

 I have followed the authors of the Encyclopedie in the appropriation of the synonyms. We have specimens 

 agreeing with the individual figures of Cramer above cited : but those of P. Crocale and P. Statira, are 

 most strongly marked. The dot of the under-surface of the hinder wings is in many cases sesquialterous ; 

 and this confirms the affinity to the next species. 



58. Colias Hilahia. Ales suprd maris alba, fascid latd sulphured discum versus irregidariter 



laciniatd, marginibus ad apicem tenuissimi nigro-limbatis ; fceminas pagind totd, nonnunquam 

 dimidio basilari tantum, latiflavce, anticce limbis exteriore et postico, puncto discoidali serieque 

 obsoletd intramarginali macularum cuheatarum, ex apice discum versus obliqui divergente nigris ; 

 posticm limbo posterior e continuo vel interrupto maculari nigro : subtus in utroque sexujlavce vel ex 

 pallide) stramineo micantes ; anticce puncto discoidali solitario flavido velochraceo, posticce puncto 

 sesquialtero vividi argenteo micante insigniore, singulis circulo simplici aut duplici circumscriptis 

 vel in macula diffusa lilacina velferruginea nidulantibus. (Exp. alar. unc. 2\ — 2f ).
