IPHIAS LEUCIPPE. 
PLATE VII. Fig. 3. 
Pap. Leueippe, Fair. Cramer, PI. 36, fig. A, B, C Donovan , 
Insects of India , — Pieris Leueippe, Godaii. 
One of tile largest of the Pierides, frequently mea- 
suring upwards of four inches between the tips of 
the w'ings ; anterior pair bright fulvous red, clouded 
at the base with greenish yellow, the nervures and 
all the exterior parts black, the female with a row 
of fulvous spots parallel with the external margin, 
and not far from it ; posterior wings citron-yellow, 
having a dentated or macular black border in the 
female, usually preceded by a curved line of spots of 
the same colour ; but in the male marked with only 
one or two black spots towards the external border. 
Under side deep fulvous in both sexes, sprinkled 
with black points and marked with short transverse 
dusky lines, which are greatly most numerous in the 
female ; head and thorax brown ; abdomen citron- 
yellow ; antennae black, the extremity of the club 
reddish. 
It is a native of Amboina ; we have seen no par- 
ticular account of the caterpillar, but it is no doubt 
similar to that of T. Glaucippe , which is described 
by Dr. Horsfield as of a green colour with a white 
lateral ray. It feeds on a species of Capparis.
