" I formerly supposed this to be a variety of S. najii and gave a rough representation of it as 
sucli, in a popular paper published in the first volume of ' Nature and Art ' ; it is, however, 
certainly distinct, being quite as nearly allied to S. melete as to <S'. iiapi." {Butler, I. c.) 
Butler's types of this form are figured (Plate XLIII. figs. 3 cf , 4 ? ). 
Var. dulcinea, Butler. " Most nearly allied to G. megamera of Japan, but very distinct. Wings 
above milk-white, with the veins very slenderly grey, but darker towards the apical margin : 
primaries with slender black costal margin ; the basal two fifths of the costal border irrorated 
with blackish scales ; a pyramidal greyish-brown apical patch, divided by white internervular 
lines into four decreasing spots ; a slightlj- blacker spot just beyond the middle of the second 
median interspace : veins at base of all the wings edged with blackish scales : body blue- 
black ; thorax clothed with bluish-grey hairs ; abdomen grey at the sides. Under surface 
milk-white, the wings with dusky veins : primaries with the spot upon the second median 
interspace nearly as above, but slightly browner ; a second larger and oblique spot across the 
fourth fifth of the internomcdian interspace ; costal border slightly greyish towards the base ; 
no apical markings : secondaries with the costal border at base slightly tinted with pale bnff.

" This species differs from all its allies in tlie character of the apical markings of the primaries 
above." {Butler, I. c.) 
Yar. Orientis, Oberthlir. " Le type est plus grand que celui d'Europe ; les rf' d'Askold en 
dessous ont les ailes inferieures lave'es de chamois pale et non de jaune de chrome un peu 
verdatre comme les J que nons prenons en France. Les 5 ont le memo caractere et de 
plus les veines noires tres prononcees. EUes ne different gnere de la vaiii'te hri/oniir (jue

of Pieris napi. 
Var. erutSB, Poujade. " Envergure du J : 55 a 62 mill. ; de la $ : 57 a 05 mill. Aspect de 
notre P. napi, L., et tres voisine de la P. melethe, Menetrics, dont elle n'est peut-etre qu'une 
variete locale de taille pins grande. 
" Male. Dessus du memo blanc verdatre que la P. tmpi ; commo chez la derniere, I'apex des ailes 
supdrieures est noir, peu ou point entre-coupe de blanc aux nervures ; entre les deux premiers 
rameaux de la nervure mediane il y a egalement utie tache formee d'atomes noirs plus ou 
moins accentuee et memo manquant quelquefois. Aux quatre ailes, les nervures sent 
legerement teintees de noir, surtout vers les bords externes, ou elles sont renforcees de 
quelques atomcs de memo couleur. Dessous : ailes supe'rieures du memo blanc que le dessus,
