In tliis well known insect the wings are white 
above, with a large patch of black, somewhat indented 
on its inner edge, on the tip of the anterior pair : 
the male has no other mark on the upper surface, 
except a black spot near the middle of the anterior 
edge of the secondary wings ; but the female, besides 
the spot just mentioned, has two others on the disk 
of the upper wings, and an elongated patch at' then- 
hinder margin. On the under side, both sexes are 
nearly alike ; the colour inclines to yellow, especially 
on the hinder wings, which appear as if sprinkled 
with black, owing to an intermixture of dark-co- 
loured scales ; the upper wings bear two conspicuous 
black spots on each, and there is an indistinct dusky 
mark on the anterior margin of the hinder pair. The 
fringe of the wings is yellowish, slightly waved with 
black. The body and antenna are white beneath,
