APPIAS 
208. Appias ada Cvainer. {S. Moluccas). 
This species ranges from the Moluccas to the Solomons, and only a very few examples have been 
laken m Australia.

This subspecies approaches somewhat the Aru Is. race, but the dark margins above are much 
iianwer than m any of the many subspecies of ada in our collection. When describing herennia, the 
race ot arM from British New Guinea, Fruhstorfer added Cairns as a locality. We have examples of two 
^ces horn Agav Guinea, but our Australian specimens agree AA’itli neither, so Ave doubt the accuracy of 
truhstorfer’s Australian locality. 
The figures are from our oAAm tAvo specimens Avhicli are of less than average size.

The most Avidely ranging species of the genus, occurring from Cape Y'ork to southern N. S. Wales, 
with rni occasional straggler into Victoria. An aberrant female from Mackay has almost the Avhole of 
the hindwing beneath, broAAm, base and dorsum only being obscurely yelloAv. We haA’e examples from 
New Caledonia, Loyalty' Islands, and Lord Howe Is. Fruhstorfer Avrongly identifies this sub-species 
as mehnia Fabricius, in Seitz’ Macrolepidoptera, Pieridae.

This is the first record of this sjoecies from Avithin Australian limits: Am Is. examples are identical.
