" But the most striking anomaly in the genus is the totally different form 
of the claws in the only two known species, which are simple in the one 
species as is usual in this family, bifid in the other as is the case in the 
Pieridte." [Boublcda//, I. c.)

Primaries hyaline ; the hasal third is blackish, as also is the costa, the broad outer niaro-iual border, 
and the neuration ; the basal area is limited by a white band which becomes hyaline on its 
outer edge, and is followed by a blackish band decreasing in width towards inner margin. 
Secondaries black with a white band extending from middle of costa to the centre of the 
wing. Under surface as above, but the basal area of both wings is greyish, the pale band of 
primaries is almost entirely hyaline, and that of secondaries greyish; on the anal half of 
secondaries there are three greyish spots, and from the upper two of these there are indica- 
tions of greyish bauds traversing the wing in the direction of outer margin. 
E.xpanse 40-4-5 milliru. 
I received a few specimens from Chang-yang in Central CJiina, also one
