the end of the ccU, the third of moderate length or very short, and in some species quite 
wanting; upper radial as a branch of the subcostal at some distance beyond the cell. Sexes 
often differing widely. 
" Larva hairy, with four or six longitudinal rows of spines ; pupa with two lateral spines. 
" This genus does not differ materially in neuration from Pieris, but the 
remarkable character of the strong tufts of hair at the anal valves of the 
males enables us to bring together a number of allied forms, whicli, 
wherever the male is obtained, can be referred to the genus with the greatest 
certainty. Most of the species fly swiftly, and many of the males assemble in 
troops about wet places and on river margins after the manner of the genus 
CaUidryas." {Wallace, I. c.)

Male. White bordered with black. Primaries have the basal area blackish from the submedian 
nervule to the costa, which is broadly bordered with black as also is the outer margin, the 
latter, which encloses two large white subapical spots and two smaller ones below, has its 
inner edge deeply bidentate. Secondaries tinged with yellowish at the base and along costal 
area; the outer margin has au internally dentate black border. Under surface shining 
white ; the primaries yellow on basal area and traversed by an angulated black band which 
originates from a black streak on the coata and terminates in a black patch at inner angle. 
My collectors only obtained one example of this species. It was captured 
at Ta-chien-lu in July. 
This specimen differs from Cramer's figures in being blacker on the basal area 
of primaries and in the two lower white spots being smaller on those wings, 
the black border of secondaries is narrower and the black band on under surface 
of primaries is more angulated and much narrower. 
The species is common in India and is found at low elevations in Sikkim.
