Head fuscous: lliorax and abdomen white: legs varied with fuscous 
and white. (Exp. alar. 1 unc. 6 lin.) 
Inhabits ? Museo Britannico. 
Pieris Thestylis. Anterior wings elongate, triangular ; the costa finely 
toothed. Above : — Anterior wings white ; the costa, apex beyond the dis- 
coidal cell, and outer margin, black, the black sometimes nearly vanishing 
before the posterior angle : between the discoidal cell and the apex are five 
white dashes, of which the one nearest the apex is shortest, the others are 
slightly interrupted near their middle : below the third branch of the me- 
dian nervure is a rounded white dot : in some specimens the black margin 
nearly vanishes after the second branch of this nervure, but in others ( 5 ) 
it extends to the inner margin, and is marked between the nervures by two 
white spots : posterior wings white, slightly margined with black, broadest 
near the external angle, where it is marked with a white dot : on some in- 
dividuals the black follows the course of the nervures so as to form a series 
of triangles along the margin, and the markings of the under surface are 
slightly visible above. Below : — Anterior wings black, glossed at the apex 
with greenish or violet : discoidal cell with two short white dashes near the 
base, and four white spots at its extremity : at the apex are three yellow 
dashes, of which the first and third are each connected with a white dot 
shaded with yellow : these are followed by four marginal spots, of which 
the first is yellow, the second partly yellow partly white, and the others 
white, all preceded by white blotches, of which the one preceding the fourth 
spot is very large : the inner margin, as far as the first branch of the 
median nervure, is white sprinkled with black along the radial nervure, 
and sometimes the black occupies the whole outer angle, which is marked 
by a large white spot : posterior wings blaek ; costa at the base, a large 
blotch occupying nearly the whole of the discoidal cell, a spot above it, a 
macular band beyond it, and a marginal row of rounded dots, bright yel- 
low. (Exp. alar. 3 unc. 6 lin. 4 unc.) 
Inhabits Silhet. 
Allied to P. Belladonna^ Fab. (P. Horsjieldii^ Gray), which it much re- 
sembles on the under surface. 
Pieris Lalage. Above : — Anterior wings falcate, black, irrorated with 
yellowish at the base, especially along the median nervure, a large patch 
below the discoidal cell, a curved oblique fascia beyond it, three round dots 
on the outer margin, and a slender line on the inner margin near the anal 
angle, yellowish white : posterior wings whitish, tinged with yellow at the 
base, irrorated with fuscous along the abdominal margin, exteriorly with a 
broad fuscous margin, sinuated internally, marked with two or more white 
spots and some slight whitish clouds ; cilia yellow. Below : — Anterior 
wings more distinctly yellow at the base, the yellow extending along the 
subcostal and median nervures nearly to the end of the discoidal cell : apex 
tinged with pearly white, outer margin with yellow : posterior wings pearly, 
with slight purplish clouds, those beyond the middle forming an indistinct 
waved band : nervures and cilia yellowish, the latter dotted with black ; a 
small black dot on the nervure which closes the discoidal cell. (Exp. alar. 
3 unc. 2 — 4 lin.) 
Inhabits Silhet. Museo H. Doubleday. 
The falcate wings readily distinguish this species from most of the ge- 
nus. It probably belongs to the same group as P. Paulina,
