Uxp. al., ($) I in. 7-8 lin. ; ($) 1 in. 6-8 lin. 
$ Bright sulp^hiLr-yelloiv ; fore-wing with a narrow fuscous apical 
edging. Fore-wing : base very narrowly but strongly marked witli 
fuscous ; costa very thinly edged with a black line ; apical edging 
beginning a little before apex, and continued along part of hind- 
margin by three nervular spots, of which the last, smallest, and least 
distinct is on second median nervule. Hind-wing : without marking 
of any kind. Under side. — Almost uniform sidphur-yellow, rather 
paler than on upper side (especially towards inner margin of fore-wing) ; 
or with the hind-ioing and apical area of fore-iuing of a slightly deeper 
yellow. Hind-wing : on disc some indistinct or all but obsolete traces 
of small faint, fuscous spots, most apparent between median nervules. 
$ Yellow less bright than in Fore-iving : costa not with a 
bounding black line, but with a pale-reddish tinge, especially near 
base ; apical hind-marginal border duller and less distinct. Upjder 
SIDE. — Hind-iving and costal and apical hind-marginal area of fore- 
wing pale ochreous-ydlow luith a slight reddish tinge. Fore-wing : base 
very slightly tinged with orange-yellow, extending along costa. Hind- 
wing : costa at base thinly edged with orange-yellow ; four discal 
spots better marked than in ^, but very indistinct. 
Second form of ^. — Fore-wing dull-whitish; hind-iving didl- 
yelloivish. Fore-wing : base with a very faint yellowish basal suffusion ; 
apical hind-margined border much fainter and duller than in ^, hut 
much broader {especially at apex), and prolonged as far as posterior angle. 
Hind-wing : a pale orange-yellow suffusion from base, filling discoidal 
cell and extending for some distance below and beyond it ; hind- 
margin sulphur-yellow ; a row of 5 —6 indistinct small fuscous spots 
at extremities of nervules. Under side. — Paler and clearer than up'per 
side; both wings white, edged almost throughout tvith sidphur-yellow, 
ivhich is brightest on costa near base and in fore-wing about apex. Fore- 
1 Mr. H. G. Smith kindly showed me two Delagoa Bay specimens presenting the pecu- 
liarities on which he afterwards founded the new species Gallenga. They were smaller than 
usual {exp. al. i in. 4^ lin.), with the apical edging of fore-wing reddish-brown and very 
narrow, and the under side of the hind-wing and of the apex of the fore-wing tinged with 
reddish.
