number of American species as well as those of the Old World. Subsequent and more 
careful examination has shown that the butterflies of these areas are generically quite distinct, 
the peculiarity in neuration of the wings being sufficient to easily separate them. The Old 
World species are thus grouped under Hiibner's genus Catopsilia, and are found in Western, 
Southern, and Eastern Africa, Madagascar and the African islands, continental India, the 
Malay Peninsula, throughout the Malayau Archipelago, and also in Australia and Kew 
Zealand." (Distant, I. c)

" Male. Wings above very pale greenish white ; anterior wings with the costal and outer margins 
— broadest at apex and not reaching the outer angle — dark fuscous ; the basal third of 
wing and costal area to a little beyond end of cell sulphur- yellow; posterior wings with 
the inner half — concave externally — sulphur-yellow. Wings beneath pale stramineous, 
with an ochraceous tinge; anterior wings with the lower half — beneath cell and extending to 
outer margin — pale greenish white. Body above with the pronotum dark and thickly covered 
with long pale greenish hairs, the abdomen pale ochraceous, eyes castaneous, body beneath 
with legs more or less concolorous with wings. 
" Female. Wings above greenish white or pale sulphureous, both wings with the basal areas more 
or less suffused with darker sulphureous or pale ochraceou-; as in male. Anterior wings with 
the costal and outer margins broadly and irregularly dark fuscous, broadest at apex, where 
there is a more or less distinct eubapical fascia enclosing some pale apical spots ; a dark 
fuscous spot at end of cell sometimes connected with the dark costal margin. Posterior wings 
above with the outer margin broadly and irregularly dark fuscous, sometimes having some 
faint and obscure pale fuscous submarginal markings. Wings beneath as in male, but darker, 
with one small discocellular spot on anterior wings and two on posterior wings.

I have one male specimen from Kiukiang, Central China, where it was 
captured in June. It does not differ in any respect from North-west Hima- 
layan examples in my collection. 
The larva, which is said to feed on various species of Cassia, is, together 
with the pupa, figured in the ' Catalogue of the Lepidopterous Insects in the 
Indian Museum,' by Horsfield and Moore. 
This species is common in most parts of India, and has been recorded from 
Eurmah, Ceylon, Malay Peninsula, Philippine Islands, Celebes, Hong-Kong, 
and Australia.
