This is an abundant species in the nortlieru half of Australia, with variable seasonal and inter¬ 
mediate foims, to wbicli names have been applied. The variations are principally in the colour of the 
basal and central area of the hindwing beneath. The typical scyllara shows this area white, and all 
our exam])les come from Darwin: the typie was no doubt taken within a hundred miles of that port. 
The most abundant form is nahis Lucas (fig. 471, 473). with yellow area, which is taken freely from 
January to May. The form with pale yellow-brown area (fig. 472), is lanassa Butler, and that ivith 
dark yellow-brown area, periclea Felder. The darkest form with the whole of the hindwing beneath earthy 
brown is described above, and is taken througliout June, July and August. The types of all these forms 
are from Australia. Though not strictly confined to their seasons, nahis and lanassa are most abundant 
in the wetseason and narses in the dryseason, while periclea is an intermediate form: typical scyllara 
apiiears to be confined to the northwest,

. Above. Forewing white: costa narrowly and termen, brown-black: two siibterminal spots near 
apex, white. Hindwing white: termen brown-black. 
Beneath. Foreiving white: eosta narrowly and termen, brown: basal half of cell, yellow: two 
subterminal sj^ots near apex, yellow. Hindwing yellow: termen broadly brown. 
Q . Above as in male, but pale sulphur yelloAv instead of white. 
Beneath as in male: basal yellow of forewing broader: hindwing deeper yellow.

Butterflies of this genus from Darnley Is., as might be expected, show a much closer relationship 
with latilinibata of New Guinea, than with scyllara'. as compared Avith scyllaraj they have narrower 
dark margins, and fewer pale spots ivithin the margins. jMurraj^ Is. examples are intermediate, but do 
not appear sufficiently distinct to justify their separation from scyllara. 
Genus APPIAS Hubner. 
Verzeiehniss bekannter Schmetteilinge, p. 91, 1816. 
Antennae slightly more than half the length of costa. Forewing with vein 11 from subcostal one- 
fourth before end of cell: vein 10 from subcostal ivell before end of cell: vein 9 from apical third of 
vein / : vein 8 absent: vein 6 from vein /. Hindwing with precostal spur. Pupa pointed at the head 
and Avitb a lateral spike on each side. 
Type. Appias zelmira Cramer, from India. 
In this genus the apex of the foreAving is acute in both sexes, and the male has brushes of stiff 
hairs at the extremity of abdomen beneath.
