The expansion of the wings is from one inch and 
eight lines to two inches five lines ; it is therefore 
considerably smaller than the preceding, to which in 
other respects it bears a strong resemblance. The 
upper surface is white, slightly inclining to yellow ; 
the primary wings have a dusky spot at the tip, ex- 
tending a short way along the anterior border ; in the 
male there is a single rounded spot on the disk, and 
two in the female, with an oblong patch behind, as 
in the same sex of P. Brassicce ; the hinder wings 
with the usual black mark on their anterior border. 
Beneath, the anterior wings bear two discoidal black 
spots, the tip is yellow, and the base slightly sprinkled 
with dusky ; the under wings are rather bright yel- 
low, with dark scales intermixed, making them ap- 
pear as if powdered with black dust ; on the anterior 
edge at the base, there is a narrow streak of orange- 
yellow.
