4 Phytophaga Mulayana.

Hab. Java, Flores ; also Cambodia, whence it has been sent by
the late Mons. Mouhot, in great abundance.

This fine species is most closely allied to S. speciosa, Lac. : it
agrees so completely in nearly all its characters with that insect
that a detailed description would be almost useless. 1 shall
therefore confine myself to the points of difference between the
two insects.

In S. mutahUis $ the antennae are equally long, but stouter ;
the thorax is usually (but not always) slightly broader ; the elytra
are much broader at their base, the humeral callus being more
prominent, and causing the base of the elytra to appear more
abruptly truncate ; they are shorter in proportion to their basal
breadth, and at the same time more quickly narrowed from base
to apex, thus being less parallel and more regularly wedge-shaped ;
they are less deeply depressed transversely below the basilar
space, their surface is more finely punctured and opake. The
liinder thighs are shorter, thicker, and less attenuated towards
their apex ; viewed laterally, they are suddenly thickened at their
base, and then gradually increase in width to beyond their middle ;
in 8. speciosa they increase more gradually at first, but remain
for some distance in the middle at nearly the .same width ; viewed
from above, the outer edge in S. mutabil'is is more regularly
curved, the thickest portion o^the femur being about or just
beyond the middle ; in S. speciosa, on the other hand, the thigh
is more attenuated from its middle to its apex, the thickest part
being rather before than at tlie middle itself. In the female
the elytra are oblong-ovate, and not narrowed from base to apex
as in the male ; but I do not know any characters by which the
? can be separated with certainty from the same sex of S, speciosa,
S. Druryi, and other allied species.

'* Viridi-aurata, subnitida ; antennis vix longitudine dimidii cor-

6 Phytophaga Malay ana.

Eobust, ovate, resembling S. quadraticollis in form, but rather
shorter and thicker than that insect, bright metallic green, with
metallic blue reflexions, subnitidous, outer half of antenna; black,
opake. Head finely punctured; antennae robust, two-thirds the
length of the body, six basal joints shining metallic green. Thorax
subquadrate, almost transverse across the anterior angles, the
latter moderately prominent, anterior margin very slightly pro-
duced ; upper surface subopake, impressed near the basal margin
with a shallow fovea ; sparingly covered near the base by a few
very minute punctures, only visible under a lens. Scutellum semi-
ovate, its base deeply excavated. Elytra shorter, ovate, truncate
at the base, their apex subacutely rounded ; above very convex,
moderately impressed within the shoulders, the latter somewhat
prominent ; basilar space indistinctly elevated, bounded beneath
by a nearly obsolete transverse depression ; surface covered with
fine irregularly confluent grooved lines, more crowded towards
the apex, where their interstices are raised, and form irregular
crenulations ; on each elytron are six or seven double rows of
punctures, visible only here and there, principally on the anterior
half of the surface, being entirely obliterated for the remainder of
their course; on the outer disc, just before its middle, is a small
smooth spot, shining blue-green.

Male. — Posterior thighs strongly incrassate, extending beyond
the elytra for nearly half their length, their outer surface very
convex, the thickest portion of the thigh being across its middle ;
lower edge deeply notched at the apex and armed with two stout
teeth, the anterior larger and situated immediately in front, the
other placed just at the posterior angle of the notch, the inner
edge of which is clothed with fulvous hairs; hinder tibise curved
at the base, thence nearly straight to the apex, the middle portion
slightly flexuose ; apex strongly mucronate, armed on either side
with a stout tooth, the outer one large and slightly curved, the
inner one very short ; inner edge notched at the base, deeply
grooved and sparingly clothed with pale pubescence ; basal seg-
ment of abdomen flattened, remotely punctured, very sparingly
dotted with a few fulvous hairs.

This fine insect bears a very much stronger resemblance to S.
superba and quadralicollis than to S. Druryi and its allies, with
which insects, from the possession of a second tooth at the apex
of the lower edge of its hinder femora, it must be placed ; the
position however of this tooth is very different — instead of being
situated in the notch itself, as in the above-named species, it is
placed at its posterior angle.

antennae half the length of the body, obscure rufous, basal joints
obscure aeneous, the remaining joints more or less stained at their
apex with black ; second and third joints nearly equal, each one
half shorter than the fourth. Thorax rather broader than long,
sides nearly straight and parallel, slightly constricted at the base,
anterior angles distinct, rectangular, not produced, the angle itself
indicated by an obtuse tubercle, from the centre of which springs
a long single hair; hinder angles slightly produced, obtuse, curved
slightly upwards ; upper surface transversely excavated at the
base', medial line impressed by a distinct longitudinal groove,
which is broader and deeper towards its base ; whole surface of
disc covered with very fine transverse rugae. Scutelluni triangular,
acute, covered wtth fine adpressed pubescence. Elytra much
broader at their base than the thorax, sides straight and parallel
along their anterior half, thence obliquely narrowed to the apex,
the latter truncate ; upper surface flattened along the suture,
lightly depressed transversely below the basilar space, deeply
punctate-striate, interspaces thickened and slightly raised, nitidous,
obsoletely transverse strigose.

This species must be placed close to T>. Delesserti, to which it is
very closely allied, if not indeed a variety of that insect ; it differs
in having the anterior angle of the thorax indicated by a small
but distinct tubercle, and in the longitudinal groove on the disc
extending nearly from base to apex. I possess specimens from
Ceylon ; from the continent of India, collected by Mr. Bretting-
ham ; and from Tringanee, sent to this country by Count de
Castelnau.

Hab. Singapore.

Head deeply constricted behind the eyes, the latter prominent,
deeply notched ; face triangular ; antennae filiform, nearly three-
fourths the length of the body. Thorax scarcely broader than
long; its sides moderately constricted ; above smooth, a longitu-
dinal space down the middle impressed with a number of very
fine punctures ; just in front of the base is a single distinct fovea ;
on either side, running obliquely inwards and backwards from
the lateral constriction, is a short transverse groove. Scutellum
glabrous, elongate-trigonate, its apex truncate. Elytra much
broader than the thorax, oblong, indistinctly impressed transversely
below the basilar space, finely but distinctly punctate-striate.
Abdomen clothed with coarse adpressed whitish hairs. Thighs
moderately thickened, the hinder pair rather thicker than the
others, extending to the apex of the third abdominal segment.

This insect, which has at first sight very much the aspect of
the pale variety of Crioceris impressa, must be placed close to
L. Goryi.

My specimens of tliis insect differ somewhat from the one from
Ben'^al (which I have not seen) described in Lacordaire's work ;
mine have the abdomen almost, in one case, entirely black — in
one specimen, also, the anterior legs are piceous ; in all, the
anterior half of the elytra is distinctly rugulose, and the basilar
space is bounded beneath by a transverse depression ; this latter
character is not mentioned by Lacordaire ; I do not think these
differences are sufficient to constitute a distinct species ; like many
insects with a wide geographical range it is probably variable
both in sculpture and coloration.

This and the two preceding species agree so completely in
general colour, form, and sculpture, that it will be only necessary
to give the points of difference : —

In P. Papuana the antennae are entirely rufo-testaceous ; the
colour of the darker portion of the elytra, which is violaceous, varies
greatly in extent, sometimes covering only the hinder two-thirds
of the elytra, in other specimens extending over the whole surface,
leaving only a narrow space at the basal margin ; the hinder thigh
in the $ of the same species has a strong conical spine.

In L. Boisduvalii the outer half of the anteimae is black ; the
colour on the elytra is bright cyaneous instead of violaceous, and
less variable in extent, occupying usually rather more than two-
thirds of their surface; and the femoral spine of the $, thou<di
equally long, is less robust and slightly curved at its apex.

The S of L. connectens may be known from either of the
other two species by the much shorter spine on the hinder femora;

14 Phytophaga Malayana.

botli sexes may be readily distinguished by the nigro-cseruleous
tint of the darker portion of the elytra (which varies very little in
extent), by the pale upper lip, and by the black markings on the
upper surface of the joints of the antennae ; these markings vary
very greatly, in some specimens being confined to mere patches
near the apex of each joint, in others covering the whole of the
upper surface, leaving only a pale line beneath.

nearly equal to the body in length. Thorax distinctly broader
than long, sides very deeply constricted about their middle, upper
surface smooth, finely but subremotely punctured, deeply im-
pressed a short distance behind the lateral constriction by a
broad transverse sulcation, which extends at either side into the
constriction itself; disc gibbous, bounded on either side by a
deeply impressed and slightly sinuate longitudinal groove, which,
commencing at the base of the thorax, intersects the transverse
sulcation, and runs almost directly upwards and slightly out-
wards nearly to the apical margin ; the surface of gibbosity
finely but subremotely punctured, impressed longitudinally with
a fine grooved line ; tlie space bounded by the transverse groove
in front, posteriorly by the base of the thorax, and laterally
by the longitudinal sulci, is flattened and depressed. Scu-
tellum trigonate, its apex broadly truncate, extreme apex
black. Elytra much broader than the thorax, parallel, some-
what flattened along the back, closely covered with elevated
tubercles, the spaces between which are deeply impressed with
large round punctures ; each elytron in addition is furnished, with
seven much larger tubercles, greatly resembling those on the sur-
face of a Chlamys : they are placed as follows — the first on the
basal margin transverse, less curved than the others and obtuse;
the second just within the lower end of the humeral callus; the
third immediately below the basilar space, at some little distance
from the suture ; the fourth just below the middle, halfway be-
tween the suture and outer margin ; the fifth and sixth placed
obliquely nearly midway between the middle and apex, and the
seventh subapical, a little distance from the lateral border ; the last
six are all conical and strongly raised.

Closely resembling the last species, much smaller, the larger
tubercles on the surface of the elytra being as broad, or even
broader, at their base, but much less strongly elevated; the second
and third are also rather differently placed on the surface, the
first of them being halfway between the humeral callus and the
suture, and the other close to the suture itself; the fifth and
sixth have their apices rounded and not conical ; the seventh large
tubercle is absent. The elytra are closely covered with small
tuberosities, to the almost entire exclusion of the puncturing ;
those near the hinder half of the lateral margin are larger and
more distinct than those elsewhere and form a row of rounded
protuberances. Head very similar to that of I;, monstrosa, the an-

tellum triangular, its apex truncate, piceous. Elytra much
broader than the thorax, parallel, cylindrical, punctate-striate,
punctures strongly impressed at the base, fine towards the apex
of the elytron, interspaces plane in front, convex towards their
apex. Body beneath nearly glabrous. Unguiculi black. Meso-
sternum elongate, its apex obtuse, more or less deeply emarginate.

'I'his species is in my opinion undoubtedly the L. cyanipennis of
Fabricius, the insect described by M. Lacordaire under that name
being a closely allied but quite distinct species. Fabricius gives
Sumatra as the locality of iiis L. cyanipennis, whilst M. Lacor-
daire's insect (for which I would propose the name of L.
Lacordairii) is a native of Continental India. The true cyani-
pennis, though brought to this country in some abundance
by Mr. Wallace, was up to that time exceedingly rare in collec-
tions, the only specimen previously known to me being one in my
own cabinet collected in Sumatra by Sir Stamford Raffles. The
tvvo species, although agreeing very closely in form, sculpture
and coloration, may be readily known from each other by the
relative proportion of their antennae ; in L. cyanipennis these
organs are at least two-thirds the length of the body ; in Z.
Lacordairii they do not exceed one-half its length. I possess a
series of individuals of both species, and I do not find the least
tendency to approximation between the two ; all the specimens
from India, Siam and Birmah agreeing in having short antennae
(as described by Lacordaire) ; all those from Sumatra and other
parts of the Malay Archipelago, on the other hand, having them
elongate. The synonymy ought to stand thus : —

the different form of the thorax.

surface smooth, nitidous, impressed on the middle disc with some
very minute punctures, only visible under a lens. Scutellum tri-

hairs. Elytra much broader than the thorax, but nevertheless
narrower than in C. semipiinctata, parallel, broadly depressed
transversely below the basilar space, the base itself moderately
elevated ; surface punctured entirely as in C. semipunctata, with
this exception, that the rows of punctures are quite obsolete below
the middle of the elytra, a single row of fine punctures near the
suture, and another on the outer margin, alone excepted, the place
of the absent punctures being indicated however by a small

Thorax subqiiadrate, cylindrical, nearly impunctate, being only
impressed here and there with a few very remote punctures.
Elytra much broader than the thorax, distinctly raised, basilar
space bounded beneath by a broad transverse depression ; surface
smooth and shining ; along the sutural margin, here and there on
the basilar space, on the transverse depression and along the
exterior half of the lateral border, which is also longitudinally
sulcate, are a number of large deep impressions, which evidently
form part of the rows of punctures common to the majority of
the species of the genus ; over the remainder of the surface these
punctures are entirely obliterated, their course being only indi-
cated by very faintly-marked longitudinal grooved lines. Ab-
domen smooth, sericeous ; mesosternal process narrow, tapering
from base to apex.

This species, in its hairy scutellum, in the form of its antennae
and the puncturing of its elytra, closely approaches C. semipunc-
tata; it is however a much shorter and broader insect ; the an-
tennae are also shorter and the mesosternal process narrower ; in
C. sem'ipunclota this latter part is broader, and has its sides sub-
parallel. Var. A resembles C. semipunclata in colour, but has
the elytra covered with the usual number of rows of piceous dots,
which are smooth and impunctate, a certain number only at the
base, as in the type, being impressed each with a single deep fovea.

within the humeral callus is a broad longitudinal groove ; each
elytron covered with eleven rows of piceous dots, the first short ;
it will be found on examination that a few only of these dots on
the basal portions of the five or six rows nearest the suture are
impressed each with a single fovea ; on the rest of the surface
these dots are smooth and impunctate ; interspaces also impunc-
tate ; on the hinder portion of each elytron the rows are lost in
the longitudinal black patch. Body beneath clothed with ad-
pressed silvery sericeous hairs ; hinder thighs scarcely thicker than
the others, extending for a short distance beyond the third seg-
ment of the abdomen. Mesosternal process narrow, tapering

It is with great doubt that I separate this insect from C. ohll-
terata ; in form of antenuEe, thorax, mesosternal process and
in the mode of punctation of elytra, it exactly agrees with that
species ; in coloration it is intermediate between the type and
var. A ; it differs otherwise in the elytra being narrower and more
cylindrical above ; it is however very probable that in a series of
examples this character would be found to vary, in which case it
must be considered only a variety of obliterota.

This insect is one of the most abundant and widely spread in
the present genus, being commonly sent from almost every por-
tion of the Asiatic quarter of the globe east of Siberia; as might
be expected in a species possessing so extensive a geographical
rnnge it is highly variable both in form and colour, and has conse-
quently been described by the older authors and by Lacordaire
under many different names ; the species, at its extreme points
of divergence, presents two well marked types, one broad, less pa-
rallel and much more robust, the other longer, narrower and more
p.irallel; between these exists an unbroken chain of intermediate
varieties, thus proving that they belong to only one highly-variable
species. Although not entitled to the rank of sub-species or local
varieties, all the intermediate forms being found more or less
abundantly throughout the whole geographical range of the
species, still the first or broader type is the dominant one in
Southern Lidia, Ceylon and the Malay Archipelago, whilst the
second or elongate form is the one most usually met with in
Assam, Northern India and China.

Head deeply constricted behind the eyes, face triangular, front
remotely punctured ; antennae shorter than half the length of the
body, subincrassate, outer joints slightly compressed and subper-
foliate, eyes notched. Thorax subquadrate, scarcely broader
than long ; sides constricted in the middle ; above subcylindrical,
punctured as is C. impressa, the single longitudinal row of punc-
tures down the middle of the disc being also present as in that
species. Elytra oblong, much broader than the thorax, slightly
dilated behind, their apex broadly rounded ; above convex, indis-
tinctly flattened along the back, transverse depression below the
basilar space usually obsolete, at other times present, although
indistinct ; punctures arranged in eleven longitudinal rows, the
first of which is very short ; the punctures are large, deeply im-
pressed, and placed at irregular intervals on the anterior half of
the rows ; on the hinder half they become much smaller and indis-
tinct, the rows themselves being frequently entirely obsolete ; the
inner row next the suture is however always sulcateon the hinder
portion of its course, and, together with one or two of the outer
striae, remains always entire ; interspaces smooth, impunctate.
The amount of fulvous colour on the surface varies greatly ; in
some specimens, the black ground occupies almost entirely the
posterior three-fourths of the surface, the basal fourth, and a
narrow line extending round the outer limb, alone being fulvous ;
in others the fulvous colour is extended inwards so greatly in all
directions (more especially however at the base and apex) as to
leave only a common central black patch. Under surface clothed
as in C. impressa, but the sericeous patches on the surface of the
alidomen are less strongly defined. Very closely allied to C. im-
pressa ; setting aside colour, the only difference between the two
species is in the form of the process of the mesosternum ; in C.
impressa this part is oblong-quadrate, with its apex broadly trun-
cate ; in C. Clarkii it is subtrigonate, with its apex obtusely truncate.

Head deeply constricted behind the eyes ; face forming a some-
what elongated triangle ; front smooth, without longitudinal im-
pression ; antenna scarcely half the length of the body, some-
what slender, filiform, fifth joint shorter than the two preceding
united, three lower joints rufous, the rest black ; eyes broadly
notched. Thorax subquadrate, subcylindrical, sides deeply con-
stricted in the middle, surface smooth, nearly impunctate, a few
remote punctures being only visible on the disc under a lens ; in
some specimens a row of punctures similar to that in C. impressa
runs down the middle of the disc. Scutellum forming an elongated
triangle, the apex of which is rounded ; its surface glabrous.
Elytra much broader than the thorax, nearly four times its
length, oblong, sides nearly parallel, apex broadly rounded ;
above convex, transversely but obsoletely depressed below the
basilar space, longitudinally impressed within the humeral callus ;
each elytron with eleven rows of punctures, the first short; punc-
tures placed at more regular intervals on the striae than in
C. Clarkii, deeply impressed in front, very small and finely im-
pressed on the hinder half of the elytron, but nevertheless distinct
to the apex ; interspaces smooth, impunctate. The black colour
on the elytra varies in extent, in some specimens occupying less
than half, in others covering two-thirds of the surface. Abdomen
somewhat sparingly clothed with adpressed fulvous hairs, which
form, however, a distinct row just within the edge of each seg-

The very robust form and dilated elytra will at once distinguish
this species from C. terminata ; the antennae are much longer

the third ; in C. terminata these two joints are equal.

regularly rounded ; above convex, indistinctly impressed at the
base within the humeral callus, transversely depressed below the
basilar space, surface smooth and shining, each elytron with
eleven rows of fine punctures, visible to their apex, the first short ;
interspaces smooth and flat, impunctate. Legs moderately robust,
hinder thighs scarcely thicker than the others, equal in length to the
first two segments of the abdomen. Abdomen sparingly covered
with fineadpressed concolorous pubescence, edges of the segments
clothed with a row of coarse hairs.

This insect is nearly allied to C Pfeifferce ; the pale antennae and
legs, together with the much smaller extent of the red colour on
the elytra, will at once separate it from that species. I possess
three specimens of the insect from two localities, but they do not
show any variation in colouring.

The following species, described since the publication of
Lacoidaire's Monograph, is unknown to me.

Blanchard does not make any distinutioq between Lema and

to the former genus ; if not, it ought to stand next to C. eximia

tinct transverse groove, which is sometimes entirely obsolete,

Entirely similar to T. IVestwoodii , with the exception of the
following characters : — Colour flavous, the eyes and apex of jaws
black, the labrum, the tarsi above, and the claws fuscous ; hu-
meral callus with its apex rather more produced, almost sub-
acute; hinder thighs less thickened, the anterior spine being
produced nearly in the same line with the under edge of the
thigh, and forming a much less distinct angle with it than in the
preceding species.

The above characters may appear very slight, but combined
with the difference of colour they are constant in the five indivi-
duals (two of T. Cumingii and three of T. IVestwoodii) that I have
been able to examine ; they appear to me, in a family where the
species are separated from each other by such slight differences,
sufficient to divide the two.

the rest pale fuscous ; eyes and apex of jaws black. Thorax
transverse, sides obliquely converging from base to apex ; upper
surface transverely convex, coarsely but not closely punctured ;
apical margin truncate, obsoletely sinuate in the middle, surface
on either side, just behind the margin, transversely grooved ; on
either side at the base is a protuberance similar to the one in the
preceding species. Scutellum trigonate, its apex truncate, indis-
tinctly notched. Elytra similar in form and punctation to those
of T, fVeslwoodii, the apex of the humeral callus rather more pro-
duced. Body beneath clothed with coarser hairs than the upper
surface; abdomen entirely nigro-piceous, with the exception of the
extreme base, where it passes between the hinder coxae. Metaster-
num transversely striolate, mammary prominences more elevated
than in either of the two foregoing insects ; apex of fifth segment
with a semicircular incision, immediately in front of which is a
shallow oblong fovea. Hinder thighs less thickened than in T.
Westwoodii ; spines on their under surface similarly arranged to
those in that insect ; apex of claws piceous.

The absence of a frontal fovea, the pale fuscous antennas and
broader thorax, together with the more prominent mammary
processes on the metasternum, will separate this species from its
congeners.

The following species of this family, published since the date
of Mons. Lacordaire's monograph, has not been seen by me.

rounded and converging from base to apex, anterior angles
distinct, subacute ; basal margin truncate, obsoletely sinuate on
either side, medial lobe slightly produced, obtusely rounded ;
upper surface subcylindrical, finely but distinctly punctured, the
puncturing more crowded in front ; on either side the middle disc
is a large deep fovea; in front of the basal margin near the hinder
angle is an oblique depression ; on the basal half of the surface,
leaving a narrow fulvous line on the extreme hinder margin, is a
broad transverse black band, abbreviated on either side near the
lateral border, its medial portion anteriorly produced, the front
edge trisinuate on either side, middle deeply emarginate. Scutel-
luni forming an elongated triangle, the sides straight, the apex
subacute, shining black, the extreme apex obscure fulvous.
Elytra sinuate on the sides, narrowed posteriorly, surface rather
more coarsely punctured than the thorax, smooth and sliining ;
the black bands on the surface of each are broad and have their
edges irregularly sinuate. Body beneath covered with coarse
adpressed sericeous hairs ; abdomen closely punctured.

Without being parallel, this species is much narrower and less
cylindrical than C. \'2.-macidata, Fabr., from which insect it may
also be known by the black head and scutellum, and the different
arrangement of the black markings on the thorax and elytra. I
have made the above description from a single specimen, a $ ,
taken by Mr. Wallace in the Island of Timor ; it is probable that,
in a series of individuals, the markings would vary as in C. 12-
waculata, and the transverse bands on the elytra break up into
spots.

Fam. CHLAMYD^.

Sub-Fam. Chlamyde^, Lac.

Mon. Phyt. ii. p. Q'dQ.

I have ventured to differ from M. Lacordaire in raising the
Chlamydce from the rank of a sub-family of the Clythridae to that
of a separate family. These insects appear to me to occupy a
place midway between the true Clylhridce and the Cryptocephalidce ,
presenting strong affinities with either group.

Agreeing with the former principally in the form of the antennae,
with the latter in the presence of a prosternum and in the entirely
exposed pygidium, they differ from either in possessing prothoracic
grooves for the reception of the antennae, being allied by this
last character to the Lamprosomidce. The other sub-families of
Lacordaire's family Clythrldce, with which, however, I have not
to deal in the present work, ought also, in my opinion, to form
separate families.

In support of the above view I may mention that M. Lacor-
daire himself, in his Introduction, places the genus Chlamys
amongst the Cryptocephalidce, whilst in the body of the work
he makes it a sub-family of the Clylhridce, showing clearly the
difficulty he had in determining to which of the two groups it was
most closely allied.

I have not given a definition of the family Chlamydce, it being
sufficient to refer to the characters of the Chlamydece, as laid
down by Lacordaire.

at its base, is gradually lost on the anterior portion of the gibbosity.
Elytra rugose-punctate, the interspaces along the middle of the

elytron furnished with a number of elevated tuberosities ; those
on the anterior half of the disc transversely compressed, those near
the apex more strongly raised and irregular in shape, their surface
covered with large round reticulations : these tuberosities are
placed as follows, viz. the first at the lower edge of the basilar
space, half-way between the suture and humeral callus; the
second about the middle of the length of the elytron, placed
obliquely half-way between the first tubercle and the suture ; the
third on the suture itself, at some little distance below its middle ;
these three form an oblique line across the disc ; secondly, three
other tuberosities, placed respectively a little more outwardly and
lower down than the three preceding, form another oblique line,
parallel to the former ; and, lastly, there are two or three
tuberosities on the apical portion of the disc, more towards the

Head closely punctured, the interspaces forming raised reticu-
lations over the surface. Thorax strongly gibbose, the gibbosity
narrowed posteriorly into an acute angle, its surface covered with
six raised carinae; the middle pair parallel, confluent at their base,
produced anteriorly to a short distance within the apical border
of the thorax ; the four others arise two on either side from the
central pair, and run obliquely outwards and forwards down the
sides of the gibbosity ; whole surface of thorax closely punctured,
and covered in front with more or less distinct raised reticulations.
Elytra parallel, more coarsely and deeply punctured than the
thorax, the disc of each furnished with three indistinctly-raised
lines ; the first of these commences a short distance below the
base, near the scutellum, and, running nearly parallel to the
suture, terminates a short distance below the middle of the latter ;
the second, tuberculate at its base, commences at the basal
margin, halfway between the suture and humeral callus, runs
nearly parallel to the first, and ends by uniting with its apex
by means of a short transverse ridge ; the third, arising from
the humeral callus, runs obliquely inwards to join the second at
about the middle of its course, a short ridge connecting the

to the latter half of the second line, and becomes gradually
lost on the surface of the disc ; in addition to these raised lines,
each elytron is furnished with five large tubercles, one placed near
the outer margin just below its middle, the others on the sub-
apical space.

I have founded the present genus for the reception of two new
species of Cryptocephal'idcs, collected by Mr. Wallace. In form of
thorax it agrees with Prasonotus and Difropidiis, differing, how-
ever, in having the apex of its basal lobe entire and received into

62 Phytophaga Malayana.

tlie base of the scutellum instead of itself receiving the latter,
as in the two above-named genera ; from Ccenohius and Achcenops,
both which genera have the apex of the basal lobe of the thorax
received into the base of the scutellum, and have subincrassate
antennae, it is separated in the first case by the distant eyes, in
the other by the form of the hinder margin of the prosternum
and by its notched eyes ; from Cryjitocephalus proper it may be
readily distinguished by the small horizontal scutellum, the sur-
face of which is entirely received between the margins of the
elytra, its apex not being raised in the slightest degree above
their level.

I. Phytophaga Malayana ; a Revision of the Phytophagous Beetles
of the Malay Archipelago, with Descriptions of the New Species
collected by Mr. A. R. Wallace. By Joseph S. Baly,

INCLUDING

The Families SAGRiDiE, Donaciid^, CaiocERiDiE, Megalopid^,
Clythrid^, Chlamyd.e, Cryptocephalid.t,, Eumolpid,?;, and

ClIRYSOMELlD^.

[It was intended that Mr. Baly's Revision of the Malayan Phy-
tophaga should be published in a continuous form, so that the
whole might eventually be bound up together, as a companion
volume to the Longicornia Malayana of Mr. Pascoe. The first
76 pages were issued in June, 1865, and it was then announced

( -^ )

that Mr. Baly's Introductory Remarks on the Group were reserved
until the Species were described. The delay in obtaining from the
Author a second instalment of descriptions has compelled the
Council to abandon the idea of devoting an entire volume of the
"Transactions" to this special work. — Sec. Ent. Soc, August,
1867.]

Head flat, base deeply but not closely punctured on its lower
half, punctures crowded on the inner border of the eyes, front im-
pressed with a shallow longitudinal groove, nearly free from
punctures ; eyes ovate, their inner edge angularly notched ;
antennae slender, two-thirds the length of the body. Thorax
nearly twice as broad as long across the base ; sides rounded and
converging from base to apex, posterior angles acute, basal border
truncate on either side, medial lobe slightly produced, its apex
broadly truncate ; upper surface convex, smooth and shining,
nearly impunctate, being only impressed at very distant intervals
with a few deep punctures. Scutellum oblique, elongate-trigonate,
thickened, its basal margin overlapping the basal lobe of the
thorax; surface smooth, impunctate. Elytra scarcely broader
than the base of the thorax, parallel, sides not distinctly lobed at
their base; upper surface subcylindrical, excavated at the base
within the humeral callus, slightly thickened around the scutellum;
on each are nine or ten rows of deep piceous punctures, which
are placed somewhat irregularly in each row ; near the suture,
on the basal half and on the outer border, the puncturing is less
regular ; interspaces between the punctures smooth, impunctate.

Aoria closely resembles in habit the European genus Adoxus.
It may, however, be easily known by the absence of the sutural
grooves between the prosternum and the anterior episterna.

Ovate, very convex, nuceous ; body covered with obscure ful-
vous adpressed hairs ; an obtrigonate patch in the centre of the
thorax, seven spots on the elytra, a patch at the apex of each
pleura, and the metacoxag shining black. Head distinctly punc-
tured ; epistome triangular, separated from the face by a grooved
line; on either side, just above the insertion of the antennae, is a
slightly raised smooth tubercle ; eyes black. Thorax subglobose
above, covered with fulvous hairs, which are shorter and less de-
pressed than those of any other part of the body ; sides regularly
rounded; surface deeply punctured, puncturing crowded and
rugose on the sides, somewhat more scattered on the disk, the
middle of the latter covered by a large obtrigonate black patch.
Elytra oblong, sides parallel, slightly narrowed near the apex, the
latter regularly rounded, dehiscent at the sutural angle ; above
convex ; each elytron with eleven sulcate striae, the first abbre-
viated, each stria impressed with a single row of irregular punc-
tures, interspaces somewhat raised and subcostate towards the
lateral margin, their surface covered with distinct punctures, which
render those of the striae confused ; a large subbasal rotundate
spot, a common bilobate patch at the middle of the suture, an-
other, larger and oblong-ovate, placed behind the middle, and
a small spot placed externally to the humeral callus, shining
black.

This insect varies in the number of black spots on the elytra.
The patch on the thorax is also sometimes wanting. A second
species, A. nigripes, mihi (Journ. Ent. i. p. 28), is found in
Siam, from which point it ranges upwards (like the present in-
sect) as far north as China. It in all probability is also found
in Malacca, although I have not as yet seen specimens coming
from that locality.

another submarginal, also apical and confluent with the former,
and also with four small patches arranged as follows, viz.: — one

markings are all formed of white adpressed scales.

The black, shining, nearly glabrous body of this insect, con-
trasted with the well-defined patches of white scales ornamenting
the surface, gives it an entirely different aspect to any other

The present genus is well represented in the Malay Archi-
pelago, three-fourths of the Asiatic species being natives of that
part of the world. The antennae of all the males have a tendency
to elongate, the club at the same time being distinctly narrower
than in the females of the same species. In one, C. mon-
strosus, these organs are filiform, the five upper joints, although
slightly compressed, not being broader than those immediately
below them. In the female of monslrosus the antennae are much
shorter and distinctly subclavate ; the same sex in this species
(as well as in three or four others belonging to the same section
of the genus) present the remarkable peculiarity of having their
elytra covered with a number of irregular tubercles, whilst the
elytra in the males are simply punctured in the ordinary way.

* The exception to this is a single oblong tubercle, more or less distinct,
which exists in nearly all the species ; it is situated just below the humeral
angle, immediately within the outer margin of the elytron.

This species agrees so closely with C. hiserialus that a detailed
description is unnecessary. 1 shall therefore only point out the
differential characters between the two species ; in C. cuprealus
the anterior margin of the front is obtusely rounded, not produced
in the middle, and not sinuate on either side ; the antennae are
shorter, scarcely exceeding half the body in length ; the thorax is
more transverse, less narrowed in front, the sides being less ob-
liquely deflexed ; lastly, the elytra are much less regularly punc-
tured, the double rows of punctures being less distinct and (on the
middle disk) almost entirely obsolete. Both species may be
known from their congeners by the transverse closely punctured
thorax.

The deep depression surrounding the outer and lower edges of

of C. costalus (post, p. 110), which possesses the same character
in a less degree, may be known from the $ of the present

with the much more strongly raised costa on the outer disk.

Elytra oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, convex ; basilar space

deep but ill-defined depression ; humeral callus prominent ; on
the outer disk, parallel to the lateral border, are two longitudinal
costffi ; the inner one, entire and strongly elevated, extends from
the humeral callus to the apex ; the outer, less distinct, is only
visible on the hinder half of the elytron; subhumeral tubercle in-

coarse punctures, which have a tendency near the suture and on
the outer disk to arrange themselves in longitudinal striae.

I possess only a single specimen, a J ; the $ , which 1 do not

Head very distantly punctured, front impressed with the usual

soletely excavated on either side, the apex produced into an obtuse
lobe ; epistome scarcely longer than broad, campanulifonn ; en-
carpae broadly cultriform, their surface smooth, nearly plane, not
thickened above ; antennae two-thirds the length of the body, five
upper joints moderately dilated, nearly equal in width, black.
Thorax slightly broader than long, sides rounded and converging
from base to apex, more quickly rounded in front, nearly parallel
at the base, hinder angles armed with a short tooth ; above sub-
cylindrical, sides in front broadly and strongly deflexed ; surface
deeply but remotely punctured. Elytra oblong, convex, not very
strongly punctured, punctures irregularly arranged in longitudinal
rows, which indistinctly approximate in pairs ; below the basilar
space is a transverse excavation, which, commencing a short
distance from the suture, terminates just below and within the
humeral callus, its outer half much more deeply excavated than
the inner portion ; humeral callus moderately thickened, bounded
within by a longitudinal depression, which unites at its lower
end with the transverse excavation.

Cori/nodes propinquus and the two preceding species, mulabilis
and fulgurans, are very closely allied, and I formerly considered
them as mere varieties of one species. C. mulabilis and fulgurans
may be known from each other by tlie difference in colour and
by the different form of the anterior border of the front ; in C,
fulgurans also the punctuation of the elytra is finer, and the inter-
space between each double row of punctures broader ; in C.
propinquus the form of the anterior edge of the front differs from
that of either of the two preceding species, and the rows of punc-
tures on the elytra are less distinctly arranged in pairs.

C suaveolus is likely to be confounded with the two foregoing

the transverse depression below the basilar space on the elytron,
and by the much more coarse and close punctuation of its thorax.
C IVaterhousii differs from C, Lorquinii in having a broader

This insect is so nearly allied to C.fralernus, (differing chiefly in
the form of the lower border of the face,) that at first I had consi-
derable hesitation in considering it as more than a local variety of
that species ; as, however, it comes from an entirely different loca-
lity, I have thought it better for the present to keep it distinct.
The epistome, instead of being trilobate as in C. fraternus, is
truncate, produced in the middle into a distinct lobe, the sides
being each distinctly but slightly concave. The thorax is slightly
broader and obsoletely excavated on either side the disk. In the
form and sculpturing of the elytra it does not present any differ-
ence from C.fralernus.

together with its fellow forms an angle on the suture, remains in all
the individuals I have hitherto seen without change, but the anterior
patch occasionally varies very considerably ; in some specimens
it unites at the suture, and sends a narrow line upwards to the
scutellum ; in others, as Var. C, it is not produced posteriorly,
the hinder border fonning a transverse straight line, whilst an-
teriorly it extends upwards to the base, entirely covering the
shoulder ; in Var. D it becomes smaller and irregularly cruciform.

Very nearly allied to C. peregrinus (p. 1 32) ; it differs externally
slightly in colour, most of the specimens being of a greenish blue, in-
dividuals without any green tint being apparently rare. The thorax

although compressed and dilated from base to apex, is narrower
and less distinctly triangular than in C. peregrinus ; the joints of
the club are rather longer and less transverse. The principal dif-
ferential character, however, exists in the depression below the
basilar space of the elytra, which is very distinct and well-defined
in the present species, but nearly obsolete or entirely absent in
peregrinus and allied species.

Head distinctly but not closely punctured, front slightly con-
vex, impressed in the centre with a shallow longitudinal groove ;
epistome wedge-shaped, apical border obsolete, anterior border
produced into two very short obtuse teeth ; surface more closely
and coarsely punctured than the front ; labrum obscure fulvous ;
jaws and antennae black, the latter slightly thicker towards the
apex, the five lower joints obscure fulvous. Thorax rather more
than twice as broad as long, the sides straight and slightly con-
verging from the base to the middle, thence obliquely rounded
and converging to the apex, hinder angle tuberculate ; surface
distinctly and rather coarsely punctured, the puncturing much
coarser on the sides ; on either side of the hinder disk is a large
shallow fovea, which in some specimens is entirely obsolete.
Elytra slightly excavated below the basilar space, coarsely punc-
tured, the punctures irregularly arranged in double rows in front,
but forming single regular and slightly sulcate rows on the hinder

simple.

Nearly allied to C. tuberculata, but separated from that species
by the absence of tubercles on the elytra ; it is also very close to
C. Laportn (p. 148), but may be known by the less strongly raised
costae on the hinder third of the elytra.

Head deeply but distantly punctured, upper portion of the front
impressed with a deep longitudinal groove ; epistome triangular,
sides slightly rounded, extreme apex continuous with the lower
border of the face; surface deeply but remotely punctured, its
lower portion obliquely deflexed, anterior border produced into
two very short obtuse lobes ; supra-ocular groove broad, deep,
extending downwards of equal depth between the encarpse and
fiice ; antennae slender, filiform, neatly equal to the body in length,
three or four lower joints obscure fulvous, metallic-green above.
Thorax transverse, sides nearly straight and parallel behind the
middle, obliquely rounded and converging from the middle to the
apex ; surface deeply but not very closely punctured. Elytra
broadly oblong, convex, deeply punctured, the punctures arranged
in longitudinal rows at the base, on the inner disk, and on the
hinder third of the outer disk ; the interspaces on the hinder third
of the whole surface costate ; on the anterior two-thirds of the
outer disk the punctures are less regularly arranged, the inter-
spaces being strongly thickened, irregularly reticulated and broken
up into numerous irregular tubercles.

C. tuberculata is most nearly allied to C. cognata, but may be
separated by the tuberculate interspaces of the elytra.

Less cylindrical than any of the three preceding species. An-
tennae three-fourths the length of the body, slender, filiform.
Thorax not longer than broad, less globose than in C. insign'is,
metallic- green, less bright on the disk. Elytra oblong, slightly
narrowed from the base towards the apex, each furnished near the
apex, close to the sutural border, with a broad obtuse tuberosity;
humeral callus prominent ; basilar space slightly raised, bounded
beneath and externally by a deep excavation ; surface punctate-
striate, interspaces plane on the anterior disk, costate posteriorly
and on the lateral border.

B. Body non-metallic, elytra rugose-punctate.

5. Chrysopida murina, n. sp.

Subelongata, subcylindrica, picea, subopaca,- crebre rugoso-

Hab. Phdippine Islands.

Head sirongly but not very closely punctured; epistome
not distinctly separated from the front, its anterior border
concave-emarginate ; antennae two-thirds the lengtii of the body,
slightly thickened towards the apex. Thorax not longer than
br"oad, subcyiindrical, subglobose above, sides slightly but re-
gularly rounded, lateral border nearly obsolete ; surface closely
rugose-punctate, clothed with subdepressed griseous hairs. Elytra
broadly oblong, much broader than the thorax, not depressed
below the basilar space, clotlied with silvery-white hairs, surface
coarsely and closely pimctate, interspaces thickened.

The non-metallic dull colouring of C. murina, together with the
close irregular punctuation of its thorax and elytra, give it an en-
tirely different aspect to that of any other insect of the genus ; in
all structural characters, however, it closely agrees with the metallic
species.

The transverse thorax separates this genus ^rom Chrysop'ida ;
tlie filiform antennae and tootbed claws from CalUsina ; the
different form of the head from Scelodonla.

The elytra in Rhyparida have each thirteen regular rows of
punctures, the first is as usual short, the ninth, tenth, and eleventh
begin in the space between the hinder portion of the humeral
callus and the middle of the disk, and are often confluent at
their commencement, whilst the twelfth is only visible at the base
and apex, its middle portion being lost in the thirteenth or marginal
stria.

A. Thorax suhconic, viuch narrower than the elytra ; body brilliantly

metallic.

gonal, the apical angle acute ; sides straight and parallel; anterior
margin broadly concave-emarginate, angles of the notch obtuse,

Thorax rather more than twice as broad as long ; sides rounded

surface slightly unequal in some specimens, irregularly but not
closely punctured. Scutellum longer than broad, semiovate.
Elytra rather broader than the thorax, broadly oblong, subparallel,
distinctly but slightly excavated below the basilar space ; striae
piceo-punctate, strongly impressed and subsulcate in front, less
deeply punctured posteriorly ; on the middle disk, near its apex,
the striae become confused and irregular ; interspaces on the an-
terior two-thirds of the surface slightly convex, plane on the
hinder third.

The irregular punctuation of the apex of the elytra in this
species will distinguish it from its allies.

(with few exceptions) there is a general difference in form, diffi-

The present genus differs from Rhyparida and Nodostoma in
the form of the thorax ; in Stetliotes the lateral border of the
thorax is nearly obsolete, being indicated only by a raised sutural
line ; the side beneath, or ora, is nearly perpendicular, and forms,
conjointly with the anterior episternum, a more or less distinct
longitudinal ridge, the edge of which runs perpendicularly down-
wards.

latter obscure metallic-blue. Head smooth, epistome depressed,
separated from the face by an angular groove, just above the apex
of which is a large deep fovea, from which a longitudinal groove
runs upwards to the vertex ; antennae rather longer than half the
body, black. Thorax nearly twice as broad as long, moderately
convex, smooth, impunctate, with the exception of four parallel
fovea placed two together on either side the disk. Elytra rather
broader than the thorax, the sides parallel, apex subacutely
rounded ; above convex, shoulders slightly prominent, excavated
and concave on the outer side below the shoulder ; each elytron
impressed with about ten indistinct rows of punctures, the first
very short ; the rows are entirely lost on the posterior third of
the surface, which is irregularly punctured ; the spaces between
the striae (more especially on the outer disk) are impressed with
punctures equal in depth and size to those belonging to the rows
themselves, rendering the latter still more difficult to define ; the
species, however, doubtless varies greatly in the force and depth
of the punctation, one of my specimens being more deeply im-
pressed than the other ; in the same specimen the thorax is trans-
versely excavated on either side at the base.

outer disk just before its middle, whilst a third, still shorter, is
placed on the middle of the inner disk ; the fulvous colour varies
greatly in extent ; it usually occupies the hinder half of the sur-
face ; in other cases it is confined to the extreme apex, and
every intermediate degree occurs between the two extremes.

II. On the PieridaB of the Indian and Australian Regions.
By Alfred R. Wallace, F.Z.S., &c.

[Read 18th February, 1807.]
The Pieridce form a rather extensive group of diurnal Lepidop-
tcra abundantly distributed over the whole world, and typically
represented in our own country by the " cabbage," the *' orange
tip," the " brimstone" and the " wood white" butterflies. The
white or yellow colour that characterizes these familiar insects is
that which recurs most frequently throughout this group in every
country ; but in the tropics other forms appear by their side de-
corated with a variety of colours, and assuming to some extent
the forms and markings of the more brilhant families of but-
terflies. It is to be observed, however, that in most cases the
ground colour of the insect is either white, yellow or black, and
even in those exceptional cases in which the wings are entirely
red or bluish-grey, the female of the same species, or of one closely
allied to it, presents us with the usual simple colours. The rich
rufous-brown, which so constantly reappears throughout the great
family of the Nymphalidts, is not to be met with in a single instance
in the whole range of the present family. The metallic blue of
Morpho awd of the Lyccemdoe, and the rich green of various shades
which occurs in most otiier groups of butterflies, are also entirely
absent. Althourjh the markinijs are often very beautiful and
very varied, well formed ocellated spots (almost universal in the
Satyridce and very frequent in the Nymphalidcs) never once
occur ; the only approach to them being the small discoidal ocelli
in some species. The form of the wings is generally rounded,
rarely angular, and the hind wings are never adorned with spa-
tulate, linear or filiform processes, such as occur frequently in most
other groups of butterflies. The nearest approach to a tail in the
whole family is found in the genus Gonepteryx, and is never much
more developed than in our own brimstone butterfly.

It appears, then, that quite independently of structural characters,
the Pieridce possess specialities of colour, of marking, and of
form of winH, which in their combination mark them out as a
natural and somewhat isolated group ; and strikingly illustrate the
stability of type that sometimes obtains in what we usually deem
unimportant and very variable characters. At the same time it
is to be noted that in the important structural character of the
neuration of the wings, few families exhibit so many modifications.
This character serves chiefly to break up the group into three-

VOL. IV. THIRD SERIES, PART III. — NOVEMBER, 1867. Y

302 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

and-twenty genera, combined with the form of the antennae, palpi
and anal valves, all of which vary perhaps more than is usual.
The form and texture of the wings also seem very subject to
modification within certain limits, as is well seen by comparing
the delicate elongate forms of Lcptalls and Leucoi^hasia with the
strong and compact Call'idryas and Colias ; and in colouration no
contrast can be greater than that between such genera as Euterpe
and Gonepteryx, Perhaps too there is no family more generally
and uniformly distributed over the whole earth. Pieridce inhabit
the deserts of Arabia as well as the tropical forests; they sport
about the snows of the Himalayas and roam over the icy plains
of Siberia. The variety of conditions to which they are subject
is therefore as great as can well be conceived, and the considerable
generic diversity that exists among them probably indicates a
great antiquity for the group, yet the ever fluctuating characters
of colour, form and marking have nevertheless their strict limits
which they in no case overpass.

The large amount of diversity in the neuration of the wings
of the Pler'ulw, together with the considerable differences in the
form of the antennae and palpi, have led to the establishment of a
number of well-marked generic groups. In the " Genera of
Diurnal Lepidoptera," published about the year 1847, Mr. Double-
day admitted sixteen genera of Pier'idcB. Since that time five
have been added, most of which were indicated and even named
by him as distinct sections of genera. In the present paper I add
two, formed out of the old genus Pieris, thus raising the total
number of genera to twenty-three. These are distributed with
tolerable equality through the great zoological divisions of the
earth ; the South American and Australian regions each having
eleven, the African region ten, the varied Indian region (in-
cluding the western Malay Islands) fifteen, while the Nearctic
aud Palaearctic regions each possess six genera.

The extreme isolation of the South American continent from
the other tropical regions is indicated by its possessing three
peculiar genera, — Euterpe, Leptalls and Hesperocharis, — while the
Indian region has but two, Prioneris and Dercas, and the
Australian and Palaearctic but one each, Elodlna and Leucophasia
respectively. The Nearctic and the Ethiopian regions have no
peculiar genera. Only a single genus is universally distributed
over the globe, the true Pieris. This has representatives both in
the polar and the equatoreal regions, on the highest mountains
and over the hottest plains. Callidryas, Terias and Tachyris
are tropical groups which range round the equatoreal regions of

Eastern PieridcB.

tlie earth, but never extend far northward of the tropics. Col'uts
and Anlliocharis on the other hand are Arctic and Alpine, oc-
curring in both continents and in both hemispheres, but rarely
extending into tropical lowlands. In most of these widely dis-
tributed genera the species also have a wide range, and some
specific forms of Callidnjas, Tachyris and Terias are almost
identically reproduced in the eastern and western tropics. Most
of these are insects which roam about cultivated grounds and
river banks, and collect in swarms on wet and muddy shores ; while
the more restricted species and genera, such as Euterpe, Leptalis,
Leucophasia, Elod'ina, Thyca and Eron'ia, are inhabitants of woods
and forests, and become quickly exterminated by the advance of
cultivation.

The following table exhibits the distribution of the genera of
Picrldce throughout the six zoological divisions of the earth, with
the number of species of each described up to this time.

304 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

By a consideration of ilie facts presented by the distribution
of Birds and Mammals, it has been proved that the Malay
Archipelago really belongs to two primary zoological divisions
of the earth. A line drawn on the east side of the Philippines,
curving to the west of Celebes, and passing between the islands
of Baly and Lombock, will divide the Indian from the Australian
region. Mr. Pascoe however is of opinion that this division
will not hold good for insects, as he finds that in Coleoptero,
and especially in Longiconua, New Guinea and the Moluccas
have a much greater resemblance to Borneo and Malacca than
they have to Australia. If this statement expressed the whole
of the facts of the distribution of these insects, it would un-
doubtedly tend to prove that no very general causes have
determined the distribution of organic life, and that we could
therefore not hope to mark out such zoological regions of the
earth as would be alike useful to the students of every branch of
natural history. But I believe that along with this general
resemblance of the Coleopfcra from the two extremities of
the Archipelago, there is also a diversity that points to the same
division that is so strikingly manifested in the distribution of the
higher animals. As examples I may mention the great and in-
teresting Longicorn suh-CamWy of Tmedsternilcp conhned to the Aus-
tralian region, although, owing to unfavourable conditions, almost
absent from Australia itself. Cyphogastra, which Deyrolle con-
siders one of the best marked genera of the family of Buprestldce,
and Eupholus among the Curcullonidce, are similarly restricted ;
while the metallic Elateridcs (Campsosternus), the g'\ant Buprestidco
of the genus Caloxantha, and the splendid phytophagous Sagrce,
are bounded in the western half of the Archipelago by the line
above indicated. Such cases as these (and I feel sure they are
much more numerous than is yet believed) would show that even
the distribution of the Coleoptera is largely influenced by the
same general causes which have more powerfully affected other
groups ; and I believe the cause of the anomaly presented by this
order is to be found in the fact, that, in the grand and luxuriant
forests which cover the whole Archipelago, almost all the Cole-
optera are more or less intimately associated with dry or decaying
timber. The larvae of all the most prominent groups are lig-
nivorous, and even the Carabidce mostly dwell under dry or
rotten bark. This circumstance is evidently in the highest
degree favourable to the diffusion and intermingling of the pro-
ductions of the different islands, and as the general physical

Euslera Pieridce. 305

conditions are almost identical tliroughoiit, it is not surprising
that an original diversity should have been reduced to an approxi-
mate uniformity of type in the two regions.

If this is the true explanation of the phenomenon, we ought
to find the distinction of the two regions more marked in those
orders and families where there is less probability of involuntary
diflTusion. The butterflies are almost entirely free from the
chance of being carried from island to island by floating timber,
but they are at all times subject to be blown great distances
I)y storms and by the strong and clianging monsoons. This last
cause of diffusion is perhaps quite as powerful as the former
one, but it is probable that these insects are not able to establish
themselves in new countries with so much certainty as the
Calcoptera, (as might be expected from the dependence of many
of the species on particular plants, which they miglit not find in
the place to whicli they were carried) ; for we find many instances
in which genera and sections of genera are strictly limited to
one-half of the Archipelago or the other. For example, the
genera Mynes and IJj/pociila are confined strictly to the Aus-
tralian region, and Drusilla is only represented out of that
region by one species in Java. To this region also belong the
genus Elodlna, the Erecllieus and Priamus groups of Pajnlio, the
Rachd group of Vieris, the Celestina group of Tachyris, and
the Mysis and Philyra group of TItyca, On the otiier hand,
Prioneris, Dcrcas and T/iauiuaiitis range over the whole Indian
region, but do not cross the dividing line ; while Thest'ins, the
Coronis group of Pieris, and the genera Euripus, Clerome,
yJmnt/uisia, ZciixidJa and Discophora, only pass over the boundary
into Celebes, or along the cl<)se!y linked chain of islands east
of Java to rimor. In most of these cases, the same groups that
inhabit the IMoluccas and New Guinea are found also in Australia,
and in some of the islands of the Pacific ; while, notwithstanding
the similarity of physical conditions, and the narrowness of the
dividing seas, tliey do not |)ass into Java, Borneo, or the other
western islands. These facts go to prove, that notwithstanding
the causes favourable to migration and intermixture in the case
of insects, yet the isolation of groups dependent on ancient and
permanent features in the physical geography of the country
may still be very clearly traced ; and if so, the primary zoo-
li)gical divisions of the earth, founded on the facts of distribution
presented by the higher animals, will be found equally applicable
to the objects of the Entomologist's study, since it will enable hiin

306 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

to account for the phenomena of distribution as he finds them
to exist.

Zoological divisions of the earth's surface can only be true
and useful ones, in so far as they agree with the most ancient
and permanent natural barriers to the diffusion of species.
Those divisions marked out by diversity of physical character or
of climate are less important, because they are necessarily less
defined, less general in their effects, and have most likely fluc-
tuated much during short geological epochs. From some points
of view the productions of the pampas of Buenos Ayres may
differ more from those of the Brazilian forests than do these latter
from those of the forests of tropical Africa, yet all will admit that
the latter is a primary, while the former is a secondary zoological
division. However large the number of groups which can be
adduced as common to the equatoreal regions of Africa and
America, but which do not extend to the open plains of tempe-
rate South America, we should none of us admit the propriety of
forming for those groups a new division of the earth, in which
the tropics of America and Africa should form a single region.
All we can do is to endeavour to account for the anomaly, and try
to discover what special causes have affected the distribution of
these particular groups in a manner very different from that of
almost all the other productions of nature. The case we are con-
sidering is one almost exactly analogous to this. The distribu-
tion of mammals, of birds, of reptiles, and many facts in the dis-
tribution of insects, clearly indicate that the mass of land forming
Australia is but a portion of one of the primary zoological divi-
sions of the globe, although in it some of the peculiarities of that
division reach their maximum, while others are better exhibited
in New Guinea and the Moluccas. The peculiar climate. and
physical condition of Australia, however, have led to the develop-
ment of many groups peculiar to it, while the same causes have
prevented others from becoming established in it, wliicli have
spread rapidly in the damp wooded tropical islands to the north.
This localization of forms is carried to a greater extent in insects
than in any of the higher animals ; and so many extensive and
remarkable groups abound in Australia, and are to be seen in
every collection from that country and from no other, that the
Entomologist may easily be led to ignore the equally striking facts
that unite it to the surrounding islands by a strong band of
zoological affinity.

The numerical proportion of species in islands and groups of

EasUrn Pieridce,

307

islands offers some interesting results agreeing witli those which
have heen ah-eady obtained for the PapiUonidce. Of any single
island Java takes the lead in the number of species o^ Pieridce {o 5),
which is probably owing to its having been more explored than
Sumatra or Borneo. Next conies Celebes with 30 species, and
further east Ceram with 24 species offers the greatest number,
while Timor has but 18. Java and Timor maybe considered the
islands in the west and east which have the most speciality, and
the island of Waigiou, near New Guinea, is another which may be
taken as offering a good type of the characteristics of the Papuan
fauna; yet these are all surpassed in speciality by Celebes,
which is situated between them, as shown by the following state-
ment : —

We thus are led to consider the island of Celebes, with one or

the much larger groups, which are well characterized by their

When we consider the very limited area of Celebes, and the
position in which it stands, closely surrounded on every side by
the other groups, and therefore liable to be colonized from some
of them by every ocean current and by every wind that blows,
the amount of peculiarity here exhibited is certainly very remark-
able, and indicates that its present insular condition dates from a
very distant period. This is equally indicated by another class
of facts of a more singular nature.

308 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

In my paper on the eastern PapUion'td^ (Trans. Linn. Soc.
XXV. 1) I called attention to the curious form of wing that charac-
terizes most of the species of the island of Celebes. In the
Fieridce it is almost equally prominent, as may be seen by com-
paring the following species, nine in number, with the most nearly
allied forms from the adjacent districts : —

Pieris eperia, as compared with P. coronis.

Tlujca zebuda, „ „ T. Dcscombcsi.

Tityca Rosenberg'ii, „ ,, T. hijpnrete.

Tachyris Ilombronii, „ „ T. lynclda.

Tachyris lycaste, „ „ T. lyncida.

Tachyris zarinda, „ „ T. nero.

Tachyris ithome, „ „ T. nephele.

Eronia tritcea, „ „ any other species.

Iphias glaucippe, „ „ I. glnucippe {Java \ar.).

In all these cases, comprising a large proportion of the Pieridce
peculiar to Celebes, the species of that island have the anterior
wings either more elongated or more acute, or the costa much
more abruptly curved near the base, than in the allied species
from any of the adjacent islands. Exactly the same peculiarity
was found in almost every species of Papilio, and is to be noticed
also in many of the NymphalidcB. I am not aware that any
similar case has yet been adduced of a peculiarity of form runnin;^'
through several distinct families, and characterizing a single island
only, or any equally limited district. The nearest approach to it
is the apterous condition of many Coleoptera of usually winged
genera in Madeira, conjoined with the rather fuller development
of the wings in some other species, whose habits render flight
essential to them. We are all acquainted with Mr. Darwin's
beautiful explanation of these facts, on the principle of the
preservation of useful variations, and we cannot doubt that the
same principle has acted in the case of the Celebes butterflies,
although from our ignorance of all the physical and biological
peculiarities of that island we are not able to trace the process
with so much certainty as in the other case. The whole fauna of
Celebes is isolated and fragmentary, and indicates a very ancient
origin and much extinction of species; and it may well be that
the conditions which once rendered this peculiarity an advan-
tageous one no longer exist. We must ever remember that the
present condition of a fauna is but the resultant of an immense

Ristcrn Picridce. 309

variety of causes and changes, organic and inorganic, acting and
reacting througliout all preceding ages. It is, therefore, no objec-
tion to a theory that it does not explain everything, but rather
the contrary. A true theory will certainly enable us to under-
stand many of the phenomena of life, but owing to our necessarily
imperfect knowledge of past causes and events, there must always
remain complicated knots that we cannot disentangle, and dark
mysteries on which we can throw but a straggling ray of light.

The Eastern Plerklce present us with none of those wonderful
cases of mimicry which characterize the American genus Leptal'is,
and whose perfection enabled Mr. Bates to arrive at a satisfactory
explanation of the phenomenon. The comparatively small range of
colour and marking in the genera Euplcea and Dnna'is offer few
facilities for that first accidental approximation which is the neces-
sary groundwork for the production of a more perfect resemblance.
Nevertheless there are a few interesting cases which I think must
come under the head of mimicr'y. The first is that of the Eastern
species o( Eronia, the females of which all approximate, more or
less, to the markings of the genus Danais. The particular cir-
cumstance that makes it probable that this is a true case of
mimicry is, that in several species a variety of the female occurs
with the base of the hind wings bright yellow, exactly correspond-
ing to the colour of other species of Danais, Thus in Malacca
and Sumatra the ordinary dark female of Eron'ia Valeria mimics
Danais similis, while the yellow variety is like Danais philomela.
In the Moluccas and New Guinea the dark females of Eronia
argolis and Eronia iohcea are like Danais sobrina and Danais me-
ganira, while the yellow varieties resemble Danais cleona and D.
gloriola.

There seems, however, to be a group within the family of
Pier/c/te itself which is the subject of mimicry. This is the genus
TInjca, which comprises the most gay and variegated species, and
is very abundant both in species and individuals, which are almost
entirely confined to the forests, and have a very slow and weak
mode of flight. They arc, therefore, singularly parallel to the South
American Heliconiidce, and probably like them have some special
protection which renders escape by flight less necessary to them
than it is to the species of allied genera. That this is the case is
rendered more probable by the fact that I can point out four
species of other genera that resemble them most curiously in
details of colouring : Prioncris thcstylis has the under surface

310 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

marked and coloured almost exactly as in Thyca hclladonnci, and
the female resembles the same insect almost as much on the
upper surface ; both are found at Darjeeling. P'ler'is s'llana, a
species peculiar to Ceylon, wonderfully resembles on the under-
side the common Thyca cucharis which ranges all over India. Pr'io-
neris cornelia of Borneo, as figured by Vollenhoven, is so like
Thyca singhapura that I at first thought it might be a variety of
that species till I found by the description that it was structurally
different. Lastly, Pieris Icela of Timor departs so much from the
style of colouring of its allies and approaches so nearly to tliat of
Thyca belisama of Java, that I should almost look for an ally of
the last species to be discovered in Timor to serve as its pattern.
We know so little of that island at present, and so many species
having the same distribution as T. belisama extend to Timor, or
are represented there by an allied form, that we might, quite in-
dependently of any connexion with P. Icela, expect such a species
to be found there. On the whole, then, I think we have sufii-
cient facts to show that phenomena of mimicry, small in amount
but of the same character with those that are so fully developed
in many other groups, do occur among the Pieridcs ; and this is
just what we might expect sometimes to meet with in nature, for
whenever a group of species possesses any amount of special pro-
tection, even if it only leads some few of their enemies to avoid
them, it will then become advantageous for the species of other
groups to be mistaken for these, and any accidental variations
that may tend to bring about a resemblance will generation after
generation survive, till further imitation ceases to be useful or
is overbalanced by some concurrent disadvantage.

In a few cases what appears to be a dimorphic female occurs ;
the difference being however one of colour only.. In Tachyr'u
paulina, the female {neomho, Boisd.) is either white with a pearly
gloss beneath, or yellow with the underside rich ochre. In an
insect which I consider with some hesitation to be the female of
Tachyris celestina, a pure white and a rich yellow variety also
occur. In Tachyris cycinna both sexes are either greenish sul-
phur-yellow or rich chrome-orange. In Tachyris zarinda the
males are either clear reddish-orange or deep burnt crimson. In
none of these cases have intermediate forms ever been found, and
though we have no direct proof in any case that the two forms
are continually produced from a single pair of individuals, there is
every reason from analogy to suppose that such is the fact. It is

Eastern Pieridce. 3 1 1

interesting to find, however, tliat dimorphism, which is so strikingly
developed among the Pop'dionidce, should be represented in a
smaller degree in the closely allied group.

A very curious case of close resemblance occurs between two
other insects, P'leris cynis and Tacliijr'is illana, which well illus-
trates the difference between resemblance produced by the mere
recurrence of a general type of colouring and that which is the
result of the preservation of usefid variations, and which is termed
"mimicry." These two butterflies are nearly of the same size,
of a white colour with a broad apical black border similarly scal-
loped within, and on the hind wings both have a similarly-formed
sub-macular dusky border. They differ, however, in the propor-
tion of the discoidal cells and in the structure of the antennae and
anal valves, so as to come into distinct genera, and they are not
found together, one being an inhabitant of the Malay Peninsula,
the other of the Philippine Islands. If the markings of these
insects had been more varied and peculiar, it would have furnished
one case for the opponents of the explanation of " mimicry" by
natural selection. As it is, however, it well illustrates the excep-
tion that proves the rule. By far the most general type of colour-
ing in the Pieridce, and which recurs in hundreds of species, is
a white ground with a black outer border, always most developed
at the apex of the upper wings, and very frequently less marked
on the hind wings. It is not, therefore, surprising that among the
many slight modifications of this commonest and most simple type of
colouration, two species belonging to different genera should closely
resemble each other externally. It is a case that exactly cor-
responds to the very common type of colouration among the Vara-
bidce, — black elytra with two or four rufous spots, — which recurs
so frequently in many distinct genera of that family. Such cases
serve to show us how completely inadequate is the law of " rever-
sion to a common type" to explain the resemblance, through all
the minute details of a complicated and unusual style of m.arking
and colouration, which is often found in cases of " mimicry."

Althoush the differences of neuration offer excellent characters
for the establishment of genera, it is of too uncertain and variable
a nature to serve as a complete test of their affinities to each other.
I have therefore endeavoured to arrange the genera in a natural
series rather by the form of the antennae, which seems less liable
to sudden and abnormal variations, and by other general characters ;
commenciuG as usual with the long and slender antenn.-E of the
weak-flying Leptafis and Euterpe, and ending with the thick

312 Mr. A. R. Wallace o;i

antennae of tlie strong-winged Callidnjas. Tlie cliief cliflTerence
from the usual arrangement is in placing Terias before P'tcris
and after Felder's new genus Elodina, which has hitherto been
divided between Pieris and Terias.

The portion of my work to which I have devoted most time
and attention has been the proper determination of the sexes in
many species of Pieris which have hitherto never been properly
located, and the separation of the heterogeneous mass of species
in that genus into natural groups. As a first step 1 went care-
fully through the whole of my collection and determined the sex
of every specimen. This was a matter of some difficulty, as
there are no prominent sexual characters in the group, and I soon
found that differences of colouration and in the form of the wings
were very deceptive and had led to many errors. A little exami-
nation however soon convinced me that the presence of anal valves
in the male, almost as well marked as in the genus P«pi/io, offered
a certain test of sex in Pieris and its allies, and as my collection
contains good series of many of the species from different localities,
I was soon led to satisfactory results in many cases. At the same
time T made tlie important observation that an extensive series of
species, evidently all closely allied, were characterized by large
tufts of stiff hairs or bristles springing from the base of each anal
valve and often extending beyond their extremity. Both African
and American species closely allied in form and colouration had
the same character, which moreover was not found to exist in
any other group of Pieridce. The character is not one wliich
Jias been hitherto used in characterizing genera, but as its presence
is in every case easily ascertained and it groups together species
which are evidently closely allied, it is probably of physiological
importance ; and as it enables us to break up into natural divisions
a very unwieldy mass of species, I have determined to form the
group so characterized into a genus which I term Tachijris, as
they have most of them pointed wings and a very rapid flight.
Pieris j^ctnda, Godt., and Pieris nero, Fab., may be considered the
types.

I'he genus Thyca, established by Wallengren for the species of
Pieris which have only one precellular subcostal nervule (and
previously indicated as a section by Doubkday), is not adopted by
Vollenhoven in liis Monograph of Malayan Pieridce, because he
thinks it conflicts too much with other affinities. A careful exa-
mination of all the specimens having this character has led me to
the opposite conclusion, since the fifty-seven species I place in the

Eastern Pieridce. 313

genus Tlujca form, with very few exceptions, a series vvliose affi-
nities for each other are very clearly marked. There remains
another small group of species which do not harmonize well with
any of the other forms, and which have been generally scattered
widely through the genus. The bond of affinity which brings
them together is to be found in the costal margin of the fore
wings in the males being distinctly toothed along its entire length,
forminrr a saw-like edge often visible to the naked eve. The
species which possess this peculiarity, now nine in number, are
found to agree closely in every other point of general structure
as well as in the form and texture of the wings and in their system
of colouration ; and I am informed by Mr. Watson that they have
another striking peculiarity in being quite devoid of the scales
termed plumules, which are present in the males of all other
members of the old genus Pieris. Such a combination of cha-
racters appears to me to indicate generic difference, and I accord-
ingly propose to form for them the genus Fr'toneris, of which the
type will be the Pieris t/iesfylis, Doubl.

Tliere still remains in the genus Pieris, of which we may con-
sider our P. hrassicce to be tlie type, a considerable number of
species which agree very closely in structure, though they will
range under several types of form and colouration. Even from
these, however, two genera have been separated, neither of which
I heie admit. The genus Ajporia, Hubn., has been adopted by
some European Entomologists for Pieris cratcegi and its allies,
and it undoubtedly is a very distinct form from its European con-
geners. But when we see that, by means of P. hippia, Men., and
P. soracta, Moore, it is allied to such different-looking insects as
P. agalhon, Gray, and P. nabellica, Boisd., which evidently form
the fragments of an extensive natural group of species not differ-
ing in any important structural characters from the true Pieris,
we comprehend that it is more by isolation and a specialised facies
than by any generic peculiarity that these insects differ from their
nearest allies. The only character that can be so considered, the
short palpi of P. cratcegi, is not constant in the allied forms.
These constitute an Alpine and Arctic group of Pieris, and our
common species is a straggler beyond the range of its closest
relations.

Wallengren has separated the African Pieris severina, Godt.,
and its allies, under the name of Pinacopteryx, but the generic
character he has given would apply to many other species. The
only character by which these seem to me to differ from true

314 Mr. A. R. Wallace o/z

Pieris is in having the anal valves of the male more or less
spined. The same character, wliich is not mentioned by Wallen-
gren, is found in P. meserit'ina, Godt., P. coronea, Cram., and allies ;
the South American P. mornisle, P. ausia, and others, also have
it, and it reaches its maximum in P. lycimnia, Cram., in which the
long acute curved spines are very conspicuous ; but the character
is quite an isolated one and varies too much in degree and is too
difficult of determination in many cases to serve as a chief generic
character. I therefore keep these species as a section of true
Pieris,

My divisions of the genus Pieris of authors may be tabulated
as follows : —

A. One branch of the subcostal nervure

before the end of the cell . . . . Thyca (2).

AA. Two branches of the subcostal nervure

Of the external affinities of the Pieridce it is impossible to say
much. They have no direct relation to any other family than
the PapilionidcB, and even with those there is no good connecting
link. The European genera Zegris and Thais are perhaps the
nearest, since they not only offer some approximation in the
structural characters of the imago, but agree also to some extent
in their metamorphoses, the larvae of both genera enclosing them-
selves in a delicate web.

In the following list of species I have endeavoured to arrange
them in a natural series, and have described the new forms chiefly
by comparison with well known types. I have not thought
it necessary to burden the Catalogue with many synonyms, but
have in most cases referred only to Boisduval's " Species Gene-
ral des Lepidopteres" and to Vollenhoven's Monograph for the
species mentioned by those writers, except in cases in which
there has been confusion of sexes, varieties, or general synonymy.
To avoid confusion between two works with almost identical
titles, I quote the first (quarto) Catalogue of the East India Com-
pany's Museum, published in 1829, as, " Horsfield, Cat. Lep.
E. I. C. ;" and the second (octavo) Catalogue of 1857, as, "Moore,
Cat. Lep. E. I. C." To make the list of described species in the

family as complete as possible I have introduced all those de-
scribed by Boisduval in the " Bulletin" of the French Entomo-
logical Society, by Lucas in the " Revue et Magasin de Zoo-
logie," and by Felder in the " Voyage of the Novara," although
I have not been able to examine several of them, and have had
to some extent to guess at their true position and affinities.

I have drawn out a table (inserted at the end of the Catalogue)
showing the distribution of each species, as far as yet known, in
the island groups and regions, and in which I have linked toge-
ther by brackets the closely allied species which may be considered
as " geographical forms" or " local varieties" by many Entomolo-
gists. Other tables show the distribution of the genera in a
similar manner.

For convenience of reference I add a list of the new species
described, and of the old ones whose names have been altered.

PIERID^.

PoNTiA, Boisd.
A small group of delicate eastern and tropical butterflies,
generally placed next Leucophas'ia, with which, however, it seem's
to have no near affinity. These insects fly about slowly in woods
and shady places, keeping near the ground and often settling on
leaves and flowers. The species are all very closely allied to
each other. They are absent from the Moluccas and New Guinea,
hut extend through the islands east of Java to Timor, and thence
into North West Australia.

This is a group of small delicate white and black butterflies,
which have a peculiar type of neuration, there being only one
subcostal nervule before the end of the cell, and the lower radial
is situated so high up as to appear like a branch of the subcostal
at the end of the cell. The type has been considered a Terms,
and others have been placed in the genus P'leris. They seem
allied to both Ponlia and Teiias, and are the only well marked
group of Pieridce which are entirely confined to the Australian
region. The species yet known are all very closely allied to each
other.

320 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

Terias, Swainson,
These small white and yellow butterflies are generally dis-
tributed throughout the tropics, where they frequent gardens
and plantations and tlie skirts of the forests rather than their
deeper recesses. They also assemble on the margins of streams
and on the sea beach. These habits lead to their being fre-
quently carried off by winds, and it is tluis perhaps that some
of the species have so wide a range and offer such perplexing
variations. From their great similarity, and their commonness in
the tropics, they have been somewhat neglected, and we do not
yet possess materials sufficient to determine the limits of many
of the forms. I have described a few new species which ap-
pear to be sufficiently distinct, but the whole genus is at present
in a very unsatisfactory condition.

Gen. p. QQS.

Hah. — India, Malacca, Java, Borneo, Philippines, Celebes,
Batchian, Ceram, Aru Islands (Coll. Wall.).

This species varies little ; the specimens from the Moluccas
have the apical border narrower than in those from the western
islands. The female is much paler and sometimes has a broader
apical border. The Philippine form has a narrow border to the
hind wings, and might almost be considered a distinct species.

This appears scarcely to differ from P. venata, Moore. The
female described by Dr. Felder seems undoubtedly to be my P.
vagans. I was about to describe the Philippine species as dis-
tinct, but find that it agrees minutely with Dr. Felder's descrip-
tion. It may nevertheless not be the same. The wings are
rather less acute than in T. venata, and the fringe is narrower and
more dusky.

lower wings have only a black spot at the end of each nervule ;
fringe yellow. Beneath : the whole surface is speckled with minute
black dots, a small spot at the end of each nervure, and three or
four on the costal margin ; on the uppers a brown lunule at the

Lower wings with a very narrow black edge, slightly dilated at
the extremity of the nervures and with a yellow fringe. Beneath,
with blackish-brown markings, disposed nearly as in T. fimbr'iata,
but with a rusty-brown quadrangular patch at the apex ; surface
sparely dotted with dusky scales, fringe of both wings yellow.
Head and thorax dusky-yellow.

Male. — Above, black, with a suborbicular yellow patch extending
from near the costa of the upper wings to just below the cell of
the lower wings, twice sinuated towards the apex of the uppers,
elsewhere regularly curved. Beneath, yellow, with spots arranged
as in T. tominia.

Female. — Dusky black, with a small subovate yellow patch across
the end of the cell of the upper wings. The lower wings with the
inner margin yellow, extending in an ovate patch between the cell
and the outer angle.

Expanse of wings 1^ inch to 2^ inches.

Hab. — Macassar, Menado, Sulla Islands (Wall.).

This beautiful and very distinct species forms an interesting
transition to the male of T. Candida. It is restricted to the Celebes
district, which includes the Sulla Islands.

Hab. — Amboina, Ceram, Bouru, Ke Island (Coll. Wall.);
Timor? (Voll.).

This species is well distinguished by the abdominal margin
being black or dusky in both sexes. Vollenhoven says it is found

328 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

in Sumatra and also in Celebes ; the former locality is so impro-
bable that I unhesitatingly reject it in the absence of direct evi-
dence, and as to the latter perhaps a specimen of T. celebensis has
been mistaken for it.

Hah. — Batchian, Gilolo, Waigiou (Coll. Wall.).

The female resembles the male, but has the border rather wider,
and is of a pale sulphur-yellow above. In the male the black
border is more regularly curved towards the costa than in T. Can-
dida, $ . Vollenhoven (Mon. Pier. p. 69) says his specimen of a
female from Ternate is white. This would agree with my T.virgo,
Is it not an error of locality, as he does not say that the specimen
was obtained from any recent collector or other trustworthy
source, and many Ternate vessels visit the Aru Islands, the habitat
of T. virso ?

o

So. Terias virgo, n. sp.

Male. — Above, rich yellow, the black border of the upper wings
as iti T. Candida, of the lower wings as in T. puella.

Female. — Colour above, pure white as in T. Candida, J ; border
as in T. puella, $ .

Hub.— Aru Islands (Coll. Wall.).

The curious combination of characters as indicated above obliges
me to separate this as a distinct species.

The form of this small species is more like that of some of the
South American species of Terias.

PlERIS.

This genus will now contain all the species of the old genus
Pieris which have two subcostal ncrvules given off before the end
of the cell, and the males of which have neither the costa serrated
nor the anal valves tufted. The third subcostal nervule is gene-
rally well developed, but it varies greatly, becoming very short in

Eastern Pieridce. 329

P. gl'icma and its allies, and altogether absent in P. daplidice and
in some South American species. In P. mesenlina, P. teutonia,
the African P. severina, and a few allied sjiecies, the first branch
of the subcostal anastomoses with the costal, but in others closely
allied, as P. coronea, they remain distinct. As thus restricted,
the genus comprises about a hundred and twenty species distri-
buted over every part of the globe. I divide the Eastern species
into groups characterized by peculiarities of colouration, form, or
unimportant details of structure, as follows : —

a. Coronea group. Anal valves of male terminating in a horny

point or spine; club of antennae rather
abrupt ; fore wings elongate ; hind wings
beneath white or yellow, with the nervures
more or less black and dilated.

b. Aspasia group. Anal valves of male ovate ; club of antennae

slender ; wings generally broad ; hind wings
yellow or green beneath.

c. Cynis group. Wings white, pearly, delicate, broad.

d. Gliciria group. Wings rather elongate ; club of antennae

rather abrupt; third subcostal nervule very
short or wanting.

e. Agathon group. Wings ample ; club of antennae ovate, flat-

tened ; palpi short ; front very hairy j
third subcostal of moderate length.

Some Ceylonese and Indian specimens have the female yellow-
tinged above, and the lower wings beneath of a rich ochre-yellow
colour. The males do not differ.

//flfc.— Australia (Coll. Wall., B. M.).

Boisduval gives '* Timor and New Guinea" also as habitats of
this species ; but as P. coronea inhabits Timor, this has probably

330 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

been mistaken for it. It is very possible it may extend into New
Guinea, but it seems never to have been seen there either by my-
self or the Dutch Entomologists. The female is probably P. clytie
of Donovan; and as it is useless to continue in our lists species
which are unrecognizable from the badness of the figures, and are
probably known under other names, I omit altogether P. perimale
and P. clytie.

3. Pieris niseia, MacLeay.

Pieris niseia, MacLeay, King's Survey, App. p. 459 ; Bd. Sp.

This seems to be closely allied to P. teutonia, and is perhaps
not distinct. I have not seen a specimen.

Hah. — Java, Celebes, Baly, Lombock, Flores, Solor, Timor
(Wall.).

As this species has not been found by the Dutch collectors or
by myself in Sumatra or Borneo, the above probably gives its
true range. A specimen in the Brit. Mus. is labelled " Amboina,"
but this is no doubt a wrong locality.

5. Pieris peristhene, Boisduval.
Pieris peristliene, Bd. Bull. Soc. Ent. 1859, p. 155.

" Above, like P. clytie $ , but the black discoidal points larger
and better marked, the marginal row of white marks less distinct.
Beneath, more like P. coronea ; the hind wings black, with a row
of marginal lunules, base of the upper margin and abdominal
border briglit ochre-yellow. Female smaller, of a dirty yellow-
white, with a much wider black border." (Boisd.)

Expanse 2f inches.

Hab. — Woodlark Island (S. E. of New Guinea), New Caledonia
(Coll. W. W. Saunders) ; New Hebrides, Lord Howe's Island
(B. M.).

In the New Caledonian insect the upper wings are white beneath,
orange-tinged at the base, with a broad outer border and a mark

across the end of the cell purple-black, and a submarginal row of
white spots ; the hind wings as above described.

b. Aspasia group.
6. Pierls offinis, Vollenhoven.
Pieris affinis, Voll, Mon. Pier. p. 40, pi. 5, fig. 2, $ .
Hab.— Macassar (Wall.); N. Celebes (Voll.).

This insect bears such a curious resemblance to P. ithome ? , that
it has been always considered to be the female of a closely-allied
species. Owing to its having very small and smooth anal valves
I had always considered it to be of that sex ; but having heard
that Mr. Watson had found plumules on the wing, and therefore
pronounced it to be a male, I relaxed my specimens, and by
opening the valves found that he was right, and that all the spe-
cimens in my own and other collections are males. This being
the case it is evident that it has no close offinitTj whatever with P.
ithome, or with any other known butterfly, so that its name will be
a good example of " lucus a non lucendo," and will serve to recall
the error to which its analogical resemblance to P. ithome $ gave
rise. It must now come in the group of true Pieris, and is nearest
to P. rachel, Bd., though forming a distinct subsection.

7. Pieris Boisduvaliana, Felder.

Pieris Boisduvaliana, Feld. Wien. Ent. Monats. vi. p. 287 ; Voy.

Hab. — Luzon, Philippines ( ^ , ? , Wall. Coll.).

Evidently allied to P. rachel, but very distinct; and it is
particularly interesting as showing an approach to the curious
P. affinis, which it serves to connect with this group,

8. Pieris rachel, Boisduval.

P. IVallaceana, Feld. Voy. Novara, p. 168, ? .

Hab.— \Na\g\oxx (Wall.); Tidore, Ceram (Voll.); Bouru (Wall.).

These specimens agree exactly with Boisduval's description,
excepting only the absence of the small yellow spot on the under
surface of the lower wings near the outer angle, of which a trace
is found only in some Bouru specimens. He gives "Java" as the

332 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

locality, but that is not to be trusted to, as collections made in
other parts of the Archipelago are so frequently to be obtained in
Java. I am sorry to be obliged to cancel the name of an insect
which Dr. Felder has kindly dedicated to myself.

9. Pieris perictione, Felder.

Pieris perictione,¥e\d. Voy. Novara, p. 168.

This seems to be very near P. rachel. I have not seen a speci-

10. Pieris pitys, Godart.
Pieris pihjs, God. Enc. Meth. ix. p. 134; Bd. Sp. Gen. p. 470.
//a6.— Timor (Wall.).

The wings in this species are more rounded than in P. rachel, to
which it is very closely allied. It is well described by Boisduval.

11. Pieris mentes, n. sp.

Male. — Above, like P. pitys, but with an ashy tinge on the fore
wings, and generally two spots at the apex. Beneath : the upper
wings are black, with the basal half yellow-tinged and the inner
margin white, a small white mark at the end of the cell, and the
apical spots (3 or 4) yellow ; the hind wings as in P. pilys.

Hah. — Lombock, Flores (Coll. Wall, and W. W. Saunders).

The dark underside of the fore wings distinguishes this very
readily from pilys and rachel.

//ai._Australia, Moreton Bay (Coll. Wall.), Sidney and W.
Australia (Coll. W. W. Saunders).

A distinctly marked species, closely allied to P. rachel. A
specimen in the Brit. Mus. from New Hebrides has the fore wings
more concave, and the hind wings more triangular than in the
type, and other Australian specimens vary considerably in the tint

Eastern Pieridce. 333

of the under surface. This is sometimes supposed to be P. lanassa,
Hoisd., but it certainly does not agree with his description. Fel-
der's description of his P. perithea ? so exactly agrees with this
in almost all points that I cannot keep it separate.

13. Pieris nurses, n. sp. (PI. VI. fig. 3, ,J .)

Form of wings and markings of the upper surface exactly like
P. nabis in both sexes. Beneath : the apex of the uppers is pale
rufous-brown, and the whole smface of the lower wings earthy-
brown with an orange tinge ; the apical spots are obsolete, and
tlie dusky border of the lower wings is of a deeper colour within,
forming a waved submarginal band ; the base of the upper wings
is yellow-tinged, and the basal portion of the costa of the lower
wings bordered with deep orange.

Expanse 1-^^ inch.

Hub. — Moreton Bay, Australia (Coll. Hewits. ^ ; Coll. W. W.
Saunders, ? ).

Very close to P. nabis, but appears to differ constantly in the
colour and marking of the under surface, which resembles perimale
of Donovan, but the colouring of the upper surface in his figure
is so different that it cannot be considered the same species.

14. Pieris periclea, Felder.
Pieris per idea, Felder, Voy. Novara, p. 169.

Wings more elongate than P. narses, which it much resembles;
the outer margin of the uppers concave.

Male. — Above, white ; ccsta and base dusky, a triangular black
apical patch notched in the middle and reaching the outer angle,
with a curved row of six small elongate subtriangular white spots ;
hind wings with a narrow dusky border, near which the nervures
are black, and a faintly indicated dusky band within. Beneath :
the apex of the uppers beyond the row of spots, which are less
distinct, rusty-ochre ; hind wings entirely earthy-ochre, with a
submarginal row of seven diffused round dusky spots not far be-
yond the cell. The base of the uppers orange-tinged.

Expanse l"^ inch.

A specimen in Mr. Hewitson's Collection agrees exactly above,
but beneath the disc of the hind wings is ochre-yellow, the sub-

marginal dark spots form a continued irregular band, beyond which
is a row of indistinct whitish spots.

These two specimens indicate a variable species, which I had at
first thought distinct from Felder's species.

Hah. — Ceram, Amboina (Wall.).

This is the true P. aspasia of Stoll, but there are well marked
permanent forms in each of the adjacent islands, which it seems
desirable to separate. Most of these offer differences in both the
sexes, and two of the females have been separately named by Vol-
lenhoven, while he keeps the males with P. aspasia.

17. Pieris emma, VoUenhoven.
Pieris emma, Voll. Mon. Pier. p. 24, pi. 4, f. 2, ? .

Male. — Very like P. aspasia. Above : the fore wings have the
nervures and the border rather more broadly black, the hind wings
equally rich orange, with a broader black border ; beneath there
are the same differences. The female differs completely from
that of P. aspasia, more so than indicated in Vollenhoven's figure,
being earthy-brown above with dull yellowish-white spots and ,
markings. Rather larger than P. aspasia.

tween aspas'ia and emma, the hind wings being pale dull yellow,
with a broad irregular dusky border, and on the under side the
veins and markings are purple-brown.

Pier'is hester, Voll. Mon. Pier. p. 24, pi. 4, f. ], ?.

Male. — Above: upper wings white, with a black border, but the
veins much less black-edged than in P. aspasia ; lower wings
clear pale orange, with a black border as in P. emma, $ . Beneath,
differs from P. aspasia in the same degree as above.

Female. — Very distinct from P. aspasia by having the disc of the
uppers yellowish-white, with a blackish border without white or
yellow spots ; the lower wings dusky-orange, with an ill-defined
broad dusky border, more or less distinctly notched near the outer
angle.

Hab. — New Guinea, Mysol, Waigiou (Wall.).

20. Pieris jael, n. sp.

Male. — Marked as in P. aspasia, but the nervures more clearly
defined, and the hind wings clear yellow as in P. /tester, $ , and
with a black border slightly wider than in P. aspasia.

less diffused.

Male. — Above, white, the border and nervures as in P. lea, but
more clearly defined and without -the obscure submarginal band ;
the patch on the lower wings well defined, and entirely deep
orange. Beneath, very like P. lea, hut there are three yellow spots
near the apex of the fore wing, and on the hind wings the border
and black nervures are narrower, and the anal region is rich
orange, shading into the pure yellow of the disc.

The female has been described and figured by Vollenhoven as
the male.

Hab. — Singapore (Wall.); Sumatra (Voll.).

23, Pieris naomi, n. sp.

Male. — Above, as in P. amalia, hut the orange anal patch is not
clearly defined. Beneath: the upper wings white, nearly covered
by the thickened nervures and broad dusky margin, three yellow
spots at the apex and one near the costa ; lower wings entirely
rich orange-red, with a rather broad purple-brown border enclos-
inc a few reddish spots, the subcostal nervures only dusky.

Female. — Dusky brown, with whitish patches between the ner-
vures, and a few submarginal spots, the anal region dusky orange.
Beneath : the uppers nearly as above but darker ; the lower wings
purplish-brown, marked with ochre-yellow at the base and between
the nervures.

Hab. — Lombock, Flores (Wall.).

A very distinct species, intermediate between P. amalia and P.
temena.

24. Pieris temena, Hewitson.
Pieris temena, Hew. Ex. Butt. vol. ii. Pieris III. f. 19, $ .

Female. — Blackish-brown, with stripes and spots between the
nervures cream-white ; on the hind wings the disc is reddish-
white, with the nervures dusky, and a blackish hind border with
irregular creamy spots. Beneath : the uppers are marked as in the
male, but the spots are whiter ; the lower wings are less brilliant
than in the male, of mixed red and yellow, the subcostal and dis-
coidal nervures black-bordered, and the black submarginal band
more acutely toothed.

Hab. — Flores, Lombock (Wall.).

Eastern Pieridce. 337

In fine specimens of the male the underside is rich orange- red.
VoUenhoven (Mon. Pier. p. 25, n.) doubts this being an inhabi-
tant of the Archipelago, because "the Museum of Leyden pos-
sesses a female specimen from New Zealand." I myself captured
both sexes in Lombock, and my assistant Mr. Allen did the same
in Flores. I am therefore more disposed to think that the Ley-
den specimen did not come from New Zealand.

25. Pieris tamar, n. sp. (PI. VI. fig. 2, $ .)

Form of wings as in J*, temena ; same size.

Male. — Above, like P. temena, but the black border about twice
as wide. Beneath : differs from /-'. temena by the marginal and
transverse rows of spots being smaller, and the patches in and be-
low the cell much whiter and larger ; the lower wings have a very
wide black border extending into the end of the cell, and the sub-
marginal red spots very small, the disc coloured as in P. temena.

Female. — Has a broad black border at the extremity of both
wings, with a prolongation from the uppers to the end of the cell.
Beneath, nearly as in the male, but the spots are rather larger and
less distinctly marked.

Hab.—Ba\y (Coll. Wall, and W. W. Saunders).

A beautiful species, distinct in both sexes from P. temena, but
more especially different in the female. Apparently restricted to
the small island of Baly, situated between Lombock and Java.

This beautiful species evidently belongs to the present group,
and seems to come best here. The colouring of the underside is
however curiously like Thyca belisama, except in the marginal
spots being red instead of orange. It may probably be a case of
mimicry, like those of Prioneris for the same group.

the posterior band of the hind wings much broader, and the
nervures more widely margined, the submarginal spots very
small.

//«6.— Sula Islands (Coll. Wall.).

Second variety. — Above, whiter, nearly like P. eperia, the apex
dark, with small white linear spots, and a single dark band to the
end of the discoidal cell. Beneath, paler, the submarginal band of
the hind wings abruptly angular as in P. eperia, and the submar-
ginal spots more elongate and nearly white. Female : above,
blackish, with white patches between the nervures chiefly in and
near the cell ; beneath, like the male, but the nervures more broadly
dark-margined.

i/fl6.— Macassar (Coll. Wall.).

The last variety closely resembles P. eperia beneath, but the
form of the wings is quite different. This seems to be a variable
species, and a greater number of specimens would probably pre-
sent intermediate forms. The Sula Islands are zoologically a part
of Celebes, as is well shown by their birds.

Cramer's figure well represents the male of this species; the
female only differs by having the nervures, especially the median,
more dilated, and the colours rather more obscure. It is dis-
tinguished from the female of coronis by having a row of well-
marked submarginal spots on the upper surface of the fore wings,
by the yellow colour of the under surface of the hind wings, and
by their more rounded outline.

This curious and isolated form, I think with Mr. Moore, comes
next P. cratcegi and P. soratia, which latter has the small yellow
spot at the base of the hind wings beneath. The three species agree
with each other, and with the true Pieris, in all important points of
structure ; and I can see no reason for separating them generically,
although the short hairy palpi perhaps indicate the affinity of this
family to the Papilionidce.

The affinities of this remarkable species were quite mistaken by
Boisduval, who places it along with P. protomedia and other
African species. It is, however, clearly allied to P. agathon and
P. soracta, but is so coloured as to lead one at first sight to place
it near P. eucharis, from which group it differs in neuration and
other points of structure.

This is evidently close to the European P. cratcegi, and the

344 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

appearance of the yellow spot at the base of the lower wings be-
neath leads to P. agathon, which otherwise appears so different.

(Pieris h'lppia, Bremer, Lep. Ost-Sibiriens, tab. iii. f. 1, from
East Siberia, is very near P. soracta, Moore.)

Thyca, Wallengren.

This genus is well distinguished by having only one subcostal
nervure given off before the end of the cell, the first being always
absent. The body is comparatively small, the antennas are gene-
rally long and slender, the wings ample, the uppers often much elon-
gated. The larvae are clothed with long hairs, and the pupse are
spined on the under surface.

This group is preeminently a natural one. It consists of rather
large insects, which are adorned with more rich and variegated
hues than any other old-world Pierklce ; and, like so many other
richly-coloured insects, they are found only in the vast forests,
which, with few interruptions, spread continuously from the slopes
of the Himalayas through Malacca and the Malayan Islands to
North Australia and the Pacific. They all fly weakly and slowly,
yet they are by no means rare, since in almost every locality I
found some of the species very abundant in the forests, flying
lazily along near the ground, sometimes settling on a flower, but
more generally seeming to wander aimlessly through the pathless
recesses of the forest. It is probable, then, that they have some
special protection which renders swiftness of motion and the dis-
guise of sombre colours unnecessary, and this seems the more
probable when we find that some of them are the subjects of
mimicry, as already pointed out in the introduction, and under the
genus Prioneris.

Thyca appears to be closely related to the American genus
Euterpe, since it not only agrees in many of its species having a
dark ground-colour, but hardly offers any constant structural
differences.

I arrange the species under the following groups : —

a. Pasithoe group. Lower wings marked with a red semicircle

at their base beneath.

b. Belladonna g\-ou\i. Lower wings with a basal yellow patch.

c. BeUsama group. Lower wings with a red spot at the base

beneath, between the costal and sub-
costal ncrvures.

Eastern Picridce. 345

d. Hyparete group. Lower wings beneath with the basal region

yellow, and a submarginal band of red,

white or yellow spots.
6. Nysa group. Lower wings beneath black, yellow-marked

at the base, and with yellow submarginal

spots.
Note. — The extensive hyparete group is further subdivided in
the catalogue of species.

Form of T. pasithoe, but the upper wings with the outer mar-
gin concave.

Male. — Above, black : upper wings with a bluish-white band
formed by a large spot in the cell and two below it as in T. pasi-
thoe, but larger and more defined, the outer band of spots and
that at the end of the cell absent or very faintly indicated ; lower
wings with a patch of rich yellow between the cell and the ab-
dominal margin and reaching the second median nervule ; a faint
bluish-white patch across the cell to the inner margin, no sub-
marginal spots. Beneath : the uppers have a distinct white band
across the wings, a spot at the end of the cell and four small
linear spots across the apex ; the lower wings have the spots rich
yellow, disposed as in T. pasithoe, but leaving a broader black
border, and the outer spots all very small ; the red semicircular
band is narrower, and does not extend beyond the costal nervure
to the margin of wing as in T. pasithoe.

Female. — Above, as in the male, but the band across the
uppers is whiter and more defined, and the yellow patch of the
lower wings is paler and extends into the discoidal cell. Beneath
it differs in the same manner from the under surface of the male,
every spot and band being the same but rather more developed,
and there are five spots instead of four in the apical band.

Expanse of wings: male 3 inches ; female 5t inches.

Upper wings shorter and hind wings more elongated than in
T. pasitJtoe.

Male. — Above, black, a white spot at the end of the cell of
all the wings, and at the outer angle of the uppers, which have
also the costa and a curved band of linear spots across the apex
decreasing to the outer angle within which is a linear mark, grey-
ish-white ; the lower wings have a rich yellow abdominal patch
only just passing the first median nervule, and a faint greyish
band from the inner margin across the cell. Beneath : the mark-
ings of the uppers as above but more distinct ; the lower wings
have the yellow spots as in T. pasilhoe, but smaller and brighter,
only the two spots between the cell and the outer row are absent,
and the spot in the cell is divided into two ; the semicircular red
band as in T. henningia, but still narrower.

Expanse of wings 2|^ inches.

The whole group to which this species belongs is restricted to the
Indian region.

5. Thyca crithoe, Boisduval.

the lower wings the white patch extends only in a narrow pro-

does not extend so far up the wing, leaving a notched black band
between it and the red base.

This differs so much from Cramer's figure that I believe it
must form a distinct species. The female has the lower part
of the hind wings yellow and a yellow spot within the cell, and
beneath, the whole posterior border is yellow, whereas in Cra-
mer's figure and Boisduval's description these parts are white or
dusky.

8. Thyca parihenope, n. sp. (PI. VI. fig. 5, 5 a, $ .)

Male. — Above : form and markings almost exactly as in T.
pasilhoe $, but the anal margin is nearly white and the posterior
row of spots less distinct. Beneath: upper wings as in T. pasithoe ;
lower wings with the red semicircular band of about the same
size and form as in T. pasithoe, the markings of the rest of
the wing arranged as in T, pyramus, except that the yellow
colour is paler and extends much further up the wing, filling
two-thirds of the discoidal cell.

Expanse of wings 2| inches.

Hab. — Singapore (Coll. Wall.) ; Borneo (B. M.).

This insect combines the characters of two very distinct Indian
species, but in the Bornean specimen in the British Museum one
of the yellow patches beyond the cell is partly divided, showing
an approach to the pasithoe form.

broad transverse bluish-ashy band, paler at the abdominal mar-
gin, a large ochre-yellow patch at the anal angle divided into
four parts by the nervures ; outer angle black, without whitish
markings. Beneath, almost exactly as in T. pyramus, but the
red semicircle does not extend quite so far down, and the poste-
rior markings of the hind wing are more clearly defined and of a
nearly uniform ochre-yellow.

Hub.— Malacca, Mount Ophir (Coll. Wall.).

This insect differs so clearly in form, size, marking, colouration

Singapore form has a narrower black border to the hind wings, the
outer red spot is wanting beneath, the three inner red spots are
much larger, and the anal margin is of a deeper yellow colour. The
Borneo form lias no black hind border but a broad ashy one,
while beneath it is intermediate between the preceding and the

the veins beneath and the white-bordered red spots indicate this.

Pieris themis, Hew. Ex. Butt. vol. ii. Pieris V. f. 31, 32, $ .

Female. — Has the. base dusky, the apical half of the uppers
and a broad margin on the hind wings black, enclosing a few
faint yellowish spots ; the disc of the hind wings is pale yellow.
Beneath, nearly as in the male, but with the black apex and

On the whole, I consider this species nearest to argenthona,
with which it agrees in having the veins not black-bordered

on a white ground, the posterior band of spots being white instead
of red.

not impossible that T. herod'ias from Gilolo may be the female of

Vollenhoven says the females from Sumatra " have no black

considering the former locality as an error, more especially as the
collector's name is not given.

44. TInjca philolis, n. sp. (PI. VIII. fig. 4, $ .)
Very near T. philyra, but with many points of difference, as
follows : —

3Iale. — Above, the apical patch is much larger and the pos-
terior border rather wider and not so clearly defined. Beneath :
the boundary of the black colour on the upper wings is in a totally
different line, passing across the end of the cell to a little above
the outer angle, and leaving a large patch of white between it and

358 Mr. A. R, Wallace on

the cell ; the base of the wing is purer yellow ; on the lower
wings the boundary between the black and yellow portions is
nearer the base of the wing, the marginal red spots are smaller,
and there is only a small detached portion in the cell.

Female, — Above : the basal portion of the wings is nearly pure
creamy-white, and there is a row of small indistinct white spots
along the hind margin. Beneath : the yellow colour of the base
of the upper wings extends downwards, changing to white at the
lower margin and touching the outer angle ; the lower wings are
almost exactly like those of T. phihjra $, except that the red
spots are rather broader and extend higher up near the abdominal
margin. Size the same as of large specimens of T. lihihjra.

lows:—

Male. — Above, the apical border of the upper wings is much
wider, but does not extend so far towards the outer angle, it con-
tains two minute whitQ dots ; the posterior margin of the hind
wings is also broader and entirely black. Beneath : the disc of
the upper wings is white, faintly yellow-tinged at the base, the
spots at the apex are smaller, and the black border is quite dif-
ferently shaped, curving from the costa at the end of the cell to
about the middle of the outer margin ; the lower wings are two-

Eastern PieridcB. 359

thirds black, and one-third yellow, the division not being clearly
defined as in T. isse.

Female. — Above: basal half of the wings pale yellow, the rest
black without apical spots ; beneath, the apical spots are very
small, the black border of the uppers is shaped nearly as in the
male, the part near the outer angle being white ; the lower wings
have the black extending a little further up, the band of orange
spots very small', and the anal angle rich orange. Size the same
as T. isse.

Hab.— Bourn (Coll. Wall.).

This species differs from T. isse in almost exactly the same
points that T, philolis differs from T. philyra, — a very curious fact
in connexion with the laws of variation, since it shows a definite
modifying influence in particular localities, which effects the same
changes in distinct species. I may remark also that in both cases
the hind wings of the Bouru forms are more elongate than those
of Ceram and Amboina.

closing a row of six white spots, the two lower the largest ; lower
wings black, but nearly covered with chrome-yellow, which covers
the whole abdominal margin to the middle of the wing, beyond
which are three large oval spots near the outer angle ; another

This curious species is rather difficult to locate. Its neuratlon

although the amount of yellow with which it is adorned gives
it a different aspect.

4. Pieris ieutonia, Fabricius.

Upper wings with the apex acute or much produced, two subcostal
nervules given off before the end of the cell, the third of moderate
length or very short, and in some species quite wanting ; upper
radial as a branch of the subcostal at some distance beyond the
cell. Sexes often differing widely. Larva hairy, and with four
or six longitudinal rows of spines ; pupa with two lateral
spines.

This genus does not differ materially in neuration from Pieris,
but the remarkable character of the strong tufts of hair at the
anal valves of the males enables us to bring together a number
of allied forms, which, whenever the male sex is obtained, can be
referred to the genus with the greatest certainty. It is restricted
to the tropics, but comprises species from all the great divisions
of the globe, and is particularly abundant in the Indian and
Australian regions, comprising more than fifty species. The
African species sylvia, Fab., and cudoxia, Drury, belong to
this genus, and a few others allied to them ; while in South
America, viargarita, Hiibner, and several closelyallied species,
appear to be its only representatives. In the Malay Archi-
pelago, besides a host of species which present the usual
white or yellow tints of the family, it contains others whose rich
hues of cinnabar-red, orange, and greyish-blue, are altogether pe-
culiar. Most of the species fly swiftly, and many of the males
assemble in troops about wet places and on river margins, after

chrome-yellow on a white and dusky ground. Innumerable varieties
connect these extremes. The Philippine specimens are smaller,
and the posterior band of the lower wings beneath crosses at the

The Java males vary somewhat, but are often undistinguishable

new species : —

Male. — Above, like T. hjnceola $, but the black border nar-
rower, not enclosing the oval white apical spot, which is larger and
bounded above by the powdery white costal band ; on the hind
wings the border is very narrow and vanishes before reaching the
anal angle. Beneath, differs from T. hjnceola in the same way as
above, and has the margin of a paler brown. Larger and has
rather more pointed wings than T. hjnceola.

Female. — Varies much, but agrees well with the species de-
scribed by Boisduval as Pieris hippo (Sp. Gen. p. 534), except
that it is tinged beneath with pearly ash, with scarcely any yellow.
The upper surface is sometimes rich ashy-brown, with only nar-

This fine species scarcely differs in all the above localities
where I myself captured it, Boisduval describes the male well,
but errs as to the female, which he had probably never seen. This
is well described and figured by Vollenhoven.

Dr. Felder describes the Aru form as a distinct species, and it
certainly presents more marked differences than those of the other
localities ; some specimens from Bouru and Ceram approach it
very closely, but it is generally larger in size, and in both sexes
has much more and deeper coloured rich orange tint in the abdo-
minal region beneath; there is also a pale or nearly white spot
near the outer angle ; yet these differences seem hardly definite
enough to characterize a species.

being white, not at all tinged with yellow or green, but rather
bluish, and with a violet shade across the base of the upper and the

from that of T. ada, which is nearly constant through a wide
range of localities, that I am induced to separate it, although, like
the various forms allied to T. hippo, the differences are not such
as are usually considered to be specific.

14. Taclujris ahnormis, n. sp. (PI. VIIT. fig. 5, $.)

Female. — Fore wings with the outer margin more rounded than
in the female of T. ada. Above, pearly white, the body and
adjacent parts of the wings with a faint greenish tinge ; upper
wings with the costal margin dusky, and a large subtriangular
apical patch extending from the middle of the costa to the outer
angle blackish-brown ; lower wings with a border of the same
colour, widest at the outer angle and not reaching to the anal
angle. Beneath, upper wings as above, with the base ochre-
yellow, and a small elongate patch of cinnabar-red, situate half
way down the cell close to the subcostal nervure ; under wings
entirely brown-black, the base tinged with ochreous-yellow, which
extends a short distance along the costal and anal margins.

Expanse of wings 2| inches.

Hab.—^evi Guinea (N. W. extremity) (Coll. Wall.).

This very remarkable species appears to come best here. In
colouration it bears a strikin^r jreneral resemblance to the beautiful
nymphalideous butterfly, Mynes Geoffroyi, which inhabits the same
country.

Hab.~ Java, $, $, B. M. (Horsfield).

This species appears to be confined to the island of Java.
It is well described by Godart and Boisduval, and there can be
no doubt that Vollenhoven's sidphurea is the female, and the
locality, "Moluccas," which he gives from Reinwardt, an error.
It is represented in the other western islands and in Celebes, by
T. nalJudia, Feld., which also occurs in Java, most likely inhabiting
a separate district in that island.

Hah. — Java, Singapore {$ , $), Sumatra, Borneo, Celebes {$),

Male. — Above, creamy white with a faint greenish tinge; upper
wings with the costal and outer margins narrowly black-bordered,
and the apex somewhat dusky. Beneath, bright ochre-yellow ;
all but the apex and basal part of the uppers much paler or
whitish, costal and outer margins finely black-edged. Head and
neck olivaceous, thorax and abdomen ashy. The specimens from
Celebes are paler and have a much narrower dark border. Those
from the Philippines have a rather broader border, and a narrow
one on the hind wings.

Expanse of wings 2| inches.

Female. — Above, sulphur-yellow ; upper wings with the basal
third dusky; a black border from near the base of the uppers to
the anal angle of the lower wings broader on the uppers and
enlarged at the apex, its outline toothed within near the outer
angle of the lowers. Beneath, upper wings with a black-curved
band from the middle of the costa to the outer angle, the disc
sulphur-yellow, the base deep yellow, the apex light violet-ash
with a yellow margin ; lower wings pale ochre-yellow, with a
faint violet tinge, with a narrow border of rich yellow from the
base to the anal angle.

Expanse of wings 2f inches.

A specimen from Singapore and one from Java exactly agree
with this description. It also exactly agrees with Vollenhoven's
figure and description of sulphurea {T. panda, 9). except in
possessing the narrow border of bright yellow beneath. Some
Singapore specimens are very pale yellow above, and have the
lower wings tinged with ochre-yellow beneath. Dr. Felder's
description of the male refers to a Malacca specimen ; the
Philippine form having a distinct border to the hind wings, and a
dusky patch near the outer angle of the fore wings beneath, is
almost sufficiently distinct, in such a group as this, to deserve a
separate name.

The males vary from pure white with only a dusky costa, to
such as have a dusky outer border extending up the nervures of
the upper wings, and formed of small spots at the end of the
nervures of the hind wings ; and the females sliow every grada-
tion from the delicately coloured form of tlie Moluccas (^tieoinbo,
Bd.) to the darkest specimens of paidina, Cr. All the males,
however, have the under surface of two tints — white and pale
ochre, and the females all have a glossy tint of pearly white on the
underside of the hind wings. The yellow form is described by
Boisduval as a variety of neomho. The specimen from Gilolo,
described by Vollenhoven (Mon. Pier. p. QG), seems intermediate,
having the upper side yellow, while the under side is pearly
white, the disc of the uppers only being yellow. I am informed
by Mr. Semper that he possesses also from the Philippines spe-

Specimens from Moreton Bay have the under side of the lower
wings of the female richly bordered with orange both on the
upper and anal margins. A female from New Caledonia in the
British Museum is small, and on the under side has the uppers
yellowat the base, and the disc of the lower wings uniform rich ochre-
yellow. Two others from Australia have the disc of the lower
wings beneath white, narrowly edged with orange. A small male
from Lord Howe's Island, in the British Museum, has the wings
more acute and only one spot on the uppers. This is decidedly
not the Papilio melanin of Fabricius, which has not yet been
properly identified, and probably never will be.* It is there-
fore better to omit it altogether, since we most likely possess the
same insect under some other name.

22. Tachyris ttrania, n. sp.

Male. — Above, white ; base of uppers and costa to the middle
gray, thence with a black border to near the outer angle, broader
at the apex and extending in points along the radial and median
nervules ; an indistinct black line connects these points across the
apex, and a sublunate spot between the second and third median
nervules ; lower wings entirely white. Beneath : upper wings
white, their apex and the lower wings pale lemon-yellow ; the
costa, the extreme apex, and the transverse line faintly dusky ;

is broad at the outer angle, and diminishes to a point at the anal
angle, being bounded above by a bluish shade in reversed pro-

deeper yellow, but even the Moluccan specimens differ considerably
in tint.

Vollenhoven (Mon. Pier. p. S5) describes as the female of tliis,
that which I consider a variety of paiiUna, and which Boisduval
described as neombo. It is true these resemble each other more
than the pairs I have placed together, but that proves little.
Horsfield paired them as I do, and the analogy of the sexes of
T. ega, from Australia, is in its favour.

The Indian males and one from Sumatra (B. M.) are much
deeper yellow beneath, but the markings agree exactly.

lie omits to mention that the underside of the female is slightly
dusky, caused by a few groups of ashy scales, and that the yellow
maro-in is very indistinct. This is decidedly not the paulina of
Cramer, whose figure represents a different insect, to which Bois-
duval's description of the female perhaps refers. 1 had named
and described this species before receiving Dr. Felder's work.

Tiie specimens described by Boisduval and VoUenhoven as

valves ; specimens exactly similar are in my collection. From
the close resemblance of the male to T. Jacquinotii, except
in colour, I am strongly inclined to believe that the specimens
above described are females of this species, a view which the
localities above given renders probable. 1 obtained several of
these females of both colours, varying somewhat in details, but
evidently forming two distinct types of that sex, as occurs in T,
faulina, and in both sexes in T. cycinna.

ever, more produced, and the outer margin slightly concave, the
hind margin and the ends of the nervures are finely dusky. Be-
neath, the black band across the uppers is shaped nearly as in
T. leptis, but it has a sagittate white spot within it at the lower
part; there is a faint dusky patch at the base of the cell, and the
apex is amber-brown ; the lower wings are closely speckled with
dusky yellow-brown, across which are several darker waved or
zigzag bands. The spot on the disco-cellular nervule is whitish
and indistinct.

This species is very distinct from that with which it has been

is rather narrower and does not pass the first median nervule,
the white spots vary from two to four ; the hind wings have

ginal dot, sometimes obsolete, between each pair of nervules. Be-

Eastern Pieridce. 383

The occurrence of a species closely allied to T. polisma in
Mindanao, is another example of the zoological connexion of this
island and Celebes. T. illana marvellously resembles Pier'is
cijnis, although it differs in important structural characters, such
as the length of the discoidal cell, the structure of the anal valves,
and the form of the club of the antennae. I have little doubt but
that P. cegis of Felder is the female of this species.

Prioneris, n. g.

Antennae long, with a gradually thickened obconic club; head
small, forehead very hairy, with the blunt terminal joint of the
palpi not projecting much beyond it ; body stout, anal valves of
the male large, ovate, not tufted.

Upper wings triangular^ the costa thickened and strongly toothed
throughout its entire length ; first and second subcostal nervules
arising near together at some distance before the end of the cell,
the second reaching the apex of the wing, the third of considera-
ble length, and forming a wide angle with the nervure ; the upper
radial as a branch of the subcostal, the upper disco-cellular spring-
ing obliquely from the subcostal as if part of the second radial,
and giving a peculiar arched form to the cell of the upper wings.
Cell of the hind wings two-thirds the length of the wing.

This genus comprises a few large and fine Indian species, which
seem to have no direct affinity with the rest of the old genus
Picris. They are well characterized by the extraordinary serrated
costa, which in the larger species may be seen by the naked
eye. The arrangement of the nervures of the upper wing is also
very peculiar, and I am informed that Mr. Watson had already
noticed the absence of the cliaracteristic plumules from the wings
of the males of this group, although they exist in all the other
species of Picris.

The species in several cases seem to mimic those of the genus
Thyca. P. theshjlls $ , on the underside, most strikingly imitates
T. belladonna, while the female resembles it on the upper side as
well ; P. s'lla is a perfect representation of T. eucharis ; P.
Cornelia is equally like T. singhapura ; and in all these cases the
species of Thyca are very abundant, and are weak, slow-flying
insects, while the mimicking species of Prioneris are rare, and in
all cases the pairs which resemble each other inhabit the same
district, and very often are known to come from the same
locality.

P'leris thestyliSf Doubl. Zool. Misc. p. 7fi.
//fl6.— North India, Darjeeling (Coll. Wall., B. M.).
Female. — Almost exactly like P. seta, but rather larger, blacker,
and the colour beneath a rather greenish gamboge-yellow, without
any tint of orange as in that species (Coll. Moore).

2. Prionerh seta, Moore.
Pieris seta, Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1857, p. 102, t. 44, f. 3, ?.

Male. — Above, white ; upper wings with the costa, apex, and
outer margin nearly to the outer angle, black, and all the veins
beyond the cell black-margined ; lower wings with a black fringe,
and the orange markings of the under surface showing through.
Beneath, the costal border is wider and with the apex is of a pale
violet slate-colour, enclosing a white spot in the cell, and one or
two others near the apex ; the lower wings have patches of rich
orange or chrome-yellow in the cell and between all the nervures,
except two slaty patches, one below and the other above the base
of the cell, the upper one enclosing a yellow spot.

Expanse of wings 2| — 2| inches.

This appears to be the most common form, but a series of
variations occur by which it is brought nearer and nearer to P.
iJiestylis.

In the extreme form in this direction, the upper wings above
are almost exactly as in P. thestylis ; the lower wings differ
in having only a very narrow dusky border, and in being of a
different tint, owing to the orange colour of the under surface
showing through. Beneath, the markings are almost identical
in the two species, except that in P. seta the spots are all larger,
especially the first from the abdominal margin, which extends
down to and encloses the marginal spot, and in being all pale
chrome or orange instead of pure gamboge-yellow, and the ground
colour being of a purplisli slate-colour, instead of nearly black.

Expanse 3\ inches. {P. thestylis 3| inches).

Female. — The type is probably that represented by Mr. Moore.
Mr. Watson, of Manchester, has, however, sent me for examina-
tion a curious specimen, which I believe to be a female approxi-
mating to the colouration of the male. Above, the upper wings
differ from the male in having several dusky lines in the cell,
leaving two or three distinct white spots near its upper border;
the hind wings have a narrow black toothed border, and between
the anal angle and the cell a large roundish ill-defined orange

patch. Beneath, the colouring is nearly as in the larger male

specimens. The body is wanting, but the smooth costa shows it

it to be a female.

Expanse 3 inches.

Hab. — N. India, Darjeeling, Moulmein (Coll. Moore, Wall.,
B. M.).

A very puzzling species, but in most specimens quite distinct
from P. tliestylis, and always smaller and of a different colour.
If the extreme form only remained (and it seems now most nu-
merous) it would not be thought very closely allied to the species
from which we can now hardly separate it.

3. Prioneris sita, Felder.
Fleris sita, Feld. Voy. Novara, p. 161, tab. xxv. f. 12.

Wings broad, the uppers triangular, with the outer margin
straight.

Male. — Above, white ; the upper wings with the veins black
and gradually thickened towards the outer margin, where they
spread and unite in a border ; lower wings with the veins black
and thickened near the outer and hind margin, only dilated at the
ends and connected by a narrow black edge ; there is a very faint
dusky wavy line parallel to the outer margin on both wings.
Beneath, as above, but the veins black and thickened on both
wings, the apex of the uppers and the whole disc of the lower
wings bright yellow, and round the hind margin of the latter a
row of six light cinnabar-red spots, separated from the disc by a
narrow black border, the spots narrowly bordered and notched
with white.

Expanse of wings 3| inches.

//at.— Ceylon (B. M., Coll. Wall. & Moore).

This remarkable species so closely resembles in marking and
colour the common Thyca cucluiris of India, more especially on the
under surface, that it might easily be mistaken for it. I had de-
scribed it as P. eucharoides before receiving Dr. Felder's work,
and fear that Mr. Moore's name of seta for an allied species will
create some confusion.

Eronia, Hiibner.

The Eastern species o^ Eronia form a compact and homogeneous
group of very closely allied forms, several of which are hardly
more than slight geographical modifications. These insects fre-
quent most generally the dry and open forests and plantations.
They fly tolerably quickly, with an undulating movement, and
often settle upon flowers. The clear blue tints with which the
males are adorned render them striking objects in the forests of
the Malay Islands.

This is an especially Indian genus. In the Archipelago one
species is found in Sumatra, two in Java, and one in each of the
small islands as far as Timor. It is not known from Borneo or
from any other parts of the Archipelago. It seems to inhabit
only mountainous and rather dry districts, and this has probably
determined its peculiar distribution. Many of the species are
very variable, especially in the female sex, and 1 have had much
difficulty in grouping them satisfactorily.

edge, extending slightly on the nervures at the outer angle ; fore
wings with a large triangular orange-red patch in the middle,
surrounded by a black border, narrow within and on the costa,
wider at the apex and outer margin, the nervures and a discoidal
spot black; the base of the wing bluish, and of the costa brown.
Beneath: upper wings yellow, their margins and the whole of the
lower wings pale yellow, thickly irrorated with reddish-ochre,
discoidal spot on the lower wings of the same colour and small, on
the upper wings larger and black.

Smaller than T. balice, to which it is allied.

In a female from Madras, the transverse black band does not
pass below tlie end of the cell, and some of this form in the British
Museum are small, and have a narrow border ; in another, from
Bengal, the whole upper surface is tinged with ochre-yellow.
One from the Punjaub is very large and finely coloured.

Male. — Drury's figure is the best, and serves well to identify
the species. It differs from Cramer's pyrene above, by the wings
being more acute, the orange patch less regular, and the black
border to the hind wings generally wider. Beneath, it varies
from clear yellow — with a small black discoidal spot on each wing,
a blackish spot at the outer angle of the uppers, and two or three
indistinct orange spots between the discoidal spot and the margin
of the lower wings — to ochreish-yellow, thickly speckled with black
on the costal region of the uppers and the whole surface of the
lower wings, and the two or three orange submarginal spots more
diffused. It differs strikingly from Cramer's pyrene in the entire
absence of the row of brown spots with white ocelli.

Female. — Something like Cramer's (Bnippe (229 B, C), and per-
haps the same (not 105 C, D). It varies greatly in size and
colouring, as pointed out by Mr. Moore, from Capt. Lang's notes.
It is always white and black, or nearly so, and offers the greatest
difference of the sexes in this genus.

Expanse of wings (male) 2\ — 2| inches ; (female) 2| — 2^
inches.

Hah.—"^. India, Bengal, China (B. M., Coll. Wall.).

The largest specimens of both sexes are from Darjeeling.
Those from the N. \V. Himalayas are of moderate size, wl.ile
those from the plains of Punjaub and Oude are smaller and less
richly coloured. These last are hardly distinguishable from some
specimens of T. pirenassa. The two in fact may well be con-

Eastern Pier idee. 395

sidered as one abundant and variable species, which has become
segregated into several forms, which may be divided into two
pretty well-marked groups.

There has been great confusion about this species. Drury's is
the best and most recognizable figure I have seen. The Linnaean
description is so imperfect that the name ought perhaps not to be
retained, but it has been so generally applied to some of the
forms of this species that I think it better to keep to it.

Male. — Costa much curved, hind wings subtriangular.

Above, like T. pi/rene, but the transverse black band always
touches the discoidal spot of the uppers. Beneath, yellow, faintly
speckled with black ; on the hind wings a row of six or seven spots,
of which one on the inner margin, as well as the third and fourth,
are larger and have pearly or violet-white ocelli.

Female, — Very like the male, differing only in the orange patch
being smaller and less regular, and having two black spots on its
lower part. Beneath, as in the male, but the spots are more dis-
tinct, and almost all have white ocelli.

Expanse of wings ($ and $ ), 2 inches.

2fa6.— Bombay, Madras (Coll. Wall., Moore).

Variety A. — Is rather clearer in colour, has the upper wings
rather more acute, and a trace only of border on the hind wings
in both sexes. Beneath, of a richer chrome-yellow tint. The
female generally as in the type, but sometimes almost white as in
the extreme form of T. pyrene $ .

Variety B. Male. — Hind wings rather less triangular, trans-
verse band completely enclosing the discoidal spot, under surface
clear yellow, with minute discoidal spots, as in the extreme form
of T. pyrene $ . Female. — Pale yellow, with a broader dusky
border, the spot on the upper wings smaller and more divided
by the nervures, either the same yellow as the disc or more or less
tinged with orange ; beneath, ochreish or chrome-yellow, marked
as in the female of T. pyrene.

A distinct species, allied to T. pirenassa.

Iphias, Boisduval.
This genus consists of the largest and most gaudily-coloured
PieridcB, and is especially characteristic of the Malayan Islands.
For more than eighty years it had consisted of two species only,
when I had the good fortune to discover two more in the Moluccas,
and the group now comprises six sufficiently distinct species, all
of which are found in the Malay Archipelago, one of them only
ranging out of it over all tropical Asia. The Moluccas and Timor
are the eastern limits of the group, no specimen halving yet been
found in New Guinea.

1. l2^Jnas glaucippe, Linnaeus.

Papilio glaucippe, Lin. S. N. ii. p. 762 ; Cr. \6l A, B, C. Iphias
glaiicippe, Bd. Sp. Gen. p. 596.

Hah.— (Type). — India, Sumatra, Celebes (Coll. Wall., B. M.).
(Var.). — Java, Flores, Timor, Philippine Is. (Coll. Wall.,
B. M.).

This species has a wide range and varies slightly in each localitj'
in form, size, and colouration. These variations may be best
grouped under two forms, — the type, which has ihe orange patch
bordered with black on the inner side, — the variety which has little
or no black separating the orange from the white of the wings.
The Celebes specimens are very large and have very acutely-
pointed wings. The Celebes form has most black, the Timor form
least; and if the species became extinct over the remainder of its
range, these two would undoubtedly be considered distinct, since
they differ constantly both in form and markings.

2. Iphias borneensis, n. sp.

Tph'ias glaucippe, var., Wall. Journ. Ent. vol. 2, p. 3.

Male. — Like /. glaucippe, but the orange apical patch much

reduced, leaving a wide border all roimd it, which at the apex

encroaches on the black spots ; lower wings sometimes with a

submarginal row of small spots.

Female. — Like /. glaticippe, but the apical patch small and

white, the disc of the hind wings only tinged with sulphur-yellow,
and the margin more broadly black.

J^ai. — Borneo (Coll. Wall.), (? B. M.).

This interesting species bears the same relation to glauc'ippe
that leucogi/nia does to leudppe ; the female being coloured white
and black only.

This magnificent insect is not uncommon in Amboina as well as

Dercas, Boisduval.

A small group of insects separated from Gonepteryx by Dr.
Boisduval, and now generally adopted. Their wings are larger
in proportion to their bodies, their antennae more slender, the
wing cells much shorter, and the radial of the lower wing is very
differently situated, Dercas gobrias flies slowly in forest clearings
near the ground, often settling in damp places. The genus seems
confined to India, Borneo, and Sumatra.

J£ab.—1^. India, Silhet (Coll. Wall., B. M.).

The female has the apex of the wings more falcate and acute
than the male, and the markings and outline of the wings vary
considerably.

In the " Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera," Mr. Doubleday puts
his R. lycorias $ as a synonym of Z). Verhuellii, but retains
lycorias ^ as a distinct species from Silhet. As no specimen
answering to his description exists in the British Museum, or in
any private collection with which I am acquainted, I am inclined
to think that the specimen was probably compounded of the fore
wings and body of D. Verhuellii, with the hind wings of a Callidryas.

the short discoidal cells, though it is somewhat intermediate be-
tween the two genera.

Of this genus two species of the European type enter the Indian

This wide-spread tropical genus is fairly represented in the
Malay Islands. Most of the species are very abundant in indi-
viduals, frequenting the open country, gardens and river banks, and
in the dry season settling by hundreds together on wet and muddy
places, or on the extreme edge of the sinking waters of the streams.
Some of the named species are distinguished by such slight cha-
racters that it is possible they may in some cases be different
forms (perhaps different broods) of the same species.

III. 0?i the Distrihutiou of Lepidoptera in Great
Britain and Ireland. By Herbert Jenner Fust,
Junr,, M.A.

[Read 18tli February, 1867— 6th January, 1868.]

Mr. H. C. Watson, in his great work on '' British Plants,
and their Geographical Relations" — the Cyhele Britan-
nica — has divided Britain into eighteen provinces, and
these again into thirty-eight sub-provinces. These divisions
have been adopted by Mr. A. Gr. More and others engaged
in investigations of a similar nature, and for the sake of
uniformity will be employed here. "It is to be remem-
bered," says Mr. Watson (C. B. vol. i. p. 18), "that
these provinces are only arbitrary sections, adopted for
convenience in description and reference, instead of
counties. So far as they do corres]iond with peculiarities
in the pliysical geography of Britain, it is an advan-
tageous circumstance ; although such a correspondence
is not necessary to their object or use." This passage is
quoted to show that not being in any way botanical
divisions, they are just as applicable to the investigation
of tlie distribution of insects as of plants.

The following is the arrangement referred to : —

Distribution of Lepidojptera. 421

Arrangement and Nomenclature.

Mr. Doubleday's Sjmonyinic List^ pviblished in 1859,
lias been followed, with these excejjtions : —

1. The orthogTaphical emendations suggested in the
" Accentuated List/' published by the Entomological
Societies of Oxford and Cambridge, have been adopted.

2. The additional species contained in the supplements
to Doubleday's list (1865, 1866) have been inserted,
and a few names altered in conformity with those sup] )le-
ments ; in the former case the sponsor's name has been
appended, and in the latter, the name used in the original
list put in brackets underneath the name now employed.

3. In the genus Lithosia the species are arranged as
in the translation of M. Gucnee's paper on that genus, in
the '' The Zoologist" for I860; and the new species in
the g-enus Eupithecia have been most kindly inserted for
me in their proper places by Mr. Doubleday.

Sotirces of Information.

The sources from which my information has been drawn
are the various periodicals. Transactions of Societies,
and other publications (comprising nearly 200 volumes) ,
and manuscript lists from many of the best Entomologists
of the day. I cannot sufficiently express my sense of
obligation to those gentlemen, who, often at the cost of
much time and labour, have given me every assistance
in their power, and without whose help the following
Tables could never have been drawn up, even in their
present imperfect state.

Especially it is wished to acknowledge the kind advice
and information afforded by the following gentlemen : —
Revs. H. Harpur-Crewe, Gr. Gordon, J. Greene, E. Horton;
Dr. Knaggs ; Messrs. C. G. Barrett, E. Birchall (from
whom most of my information respecting the Lc-jjidoptcra
of Ireland is derived), T. Blackmore, T. Chapman, G. B.
Corbin, G. R. Crotch, J. C. Dale, H. Doubleday, A.
Edumnds, C. Feun, E. M. Geldart, G. Gascoyne, W. F.
Kirby, G. F. Mathew, A. G. More, R. S. Scholfield,
Howard Vaughan, J. Jeuner Weir, and H. C. Watson.

The records of captures contained in the various maga-
zines are often very erroneous, and in the endeavour to

422 Mr. H. Jenner Fust on the

sift the false from tlie true much difficulty has been felt ;
it has been thought better to err on the side of strictness,
and the mark of doubt " o " has been used perhaps too
freely, but it is so much easier to prove the presence of
a species in any district than its absence, that it is hoped
this mil be considered a fault on the right side.

Another difficulty has been the absence of records of
the occurrence of the commonest species ; for whereas
the capture of such insects as Golias Eclusa, or Acherontia
Atropos, which, though constantly found, are considered
sufficiently rare to be always worth mentioning, have
been recorded over and over again, the records of such
species as Pieris hrassicce, rapce, and napi would have
been few and far between, had it not been for the infor-
mation afforded by my correspondents.

The influence of the distribution of the food-plant upon
that of the species whose larvge feed upon it, the attach-
ment of some species to certain geological formations,
of others to mountains, and the different altitudes to
which they attain, are questions of deejD interest, and
worthy of the closest attention ; and should this paper
be considered worthy of being accepted as a starting
point, and local Entomologists do their utmost to add to,
and correct the statements therein contained, our know-
ledge of the distribution of species in Britain would make
rapid strides, and records of captures would gain a new
interest, and be much more valuable than now, when it
is almost impossible to know what are new facts in local
entomology, and what are mere repetitions.

I have availed myself of the interval between the read-
ing and the publication of this paper to make the Tables
as complete as possible do^vn to the end of 1867.

Distrih^dion of Lepidoptera .

423

Explanation of Table 1.

The figures in Table I. refer to the '^ provinces" pre-
viously explained on p. 417 ; the numbers opposite the
name of each species indicating- the provinces in which
the occurrence of that species is reported on trustworthy
evidence.

A blank space, or the substitution of a small horizontal
mark ( - ) instead of a figure, indicates that no evidence
has been found of the occurrence of the species in the
corresponding province .

The substitution of the letter " o " indicates that the
occurrence is doubtful, or that the evidence requires
confirmation.

An asterisk affixed to the number of any province
denotes that there is only one authority for the occurrence
of the species under consideration in such province ; but
the number of observers in Ireland being very small, this
mark has not been employed in provinces 19, 20, 21, 22.

In this and the following Tables, records at second
hand have been admitted with caution, and no records
of the capture of larvas only, where the perfect insect has
not been bred, have been considered satisfactory.

Where species are recorded as occurring at some town
on the borders of a county or province without an exact
locality being given, the doubtfully-placed localities are
assumed to be within the same county or division as the
town itself.

Note. — The species referred to, at p. 429, as Acidalia
osseata is the true osseata, w. v. A. interjectaria, Bdv., is
identical with the osseata of Doubleday's Catalogue. The
two species have been mixed together under the name
osseata, and there are not any means of determining to
which of the two the former records of captures of osseata
really refer.

446 Mr, H. Jenner Fust on the

Explanation of Table II.

The figures in Table II. refer to the '^sub-provinces'^
previously explained at p. 419; the numbers opposite
the name of each species indicating the sub-provinces in
which the occurrence of that species is reported on trust-
worthy evidence.

The blank space or horizontal mark {- ), the letter
" o," and the asterisk^ have the same meaning as regards
the sub-provinces as in Table I. as regards the provinces.
{Vide ante, p. 423.)

The small letters attached to some of the figures refer
respectively to the following Entomologists, and indicate
that the occurrence of the species in the sub-province to
the number of which such a letter is attached, rests on
the sole authority of the gentleman to whom such letter
refers : —

a. — Mr. C. G. Barrett.

h. — Mr, Edwin Birchall.

c. — Rev. H. Harpur- Crewe.

d. — Mr. J, C, Dale.

e. — Mr. Henry Doubleday.
/, — Rev, George Gordon,

g. — Rev, Joseph Greene,

h. — Rev, E, HoRTON, except in sub-province 14,
where it generally indicates the joint au-
thority of this gentleman and Mr. Abra-
ham Edmunds.

h. — ^Dr. Knaggs.

I. — Mr.' William Lenonn,
TO. — Mr. G. F. Mathew.

n. — Mr. Charles Fenn.

0. — Mr. A. G. More.

r. — Mr. G. R. Crotch.

s. — Mr. H. T. Stainton, in the ''Manual" and
elsewhere.

^v. — Mr. J. Jenner Weir.

z. — Mr. H. Jenner Fust ; in sub-provinces 12,
18, and 29, jointly with Mr. R. S.
Scholpield.

Distribution of Lepidoptera. 447

These Entomologists were in general selected either
from the intrinsic weight which their authority would
carry, or from local Lists having been published by them .

It was thought unnecessary to employ these letters of
reference in Table I., which contains more general sta-
tistics ; moreover, by comparison with Table II., the
name of the single authority may be ascertained where a
letter of reference has been employed.

The localities Halton and Lower Guiting in Stainton^s
'^ Manual/' resting on the authority of the Rev. Joseph
Greene, they have been referred to him and not to Mr.
Stainton, in the case of either being the sole recorded
locality in its sub-province.
