Show 398 COL. C. S W I N H O E O N N E W [NOV. 5, and a discal corresponding row of spots smaller than the sub-marginal row. Hind wing coloured and marked almost exactly as in G. pavana; two spots at the end of the cell, and five rows of spots and macular lines on the wing, subbasal row consisting of two spots, antemedial row of four spots almost in a line, passing just inside the two spots at the end of the cell; a curved row of discal spots, a submarginal macular line, a band of white between these rows, another macular line close to the border line, which is also black, with a red band between. Expanse of wings 1 inch. Hab. Gunduk, Beloochistan (June 1885). One pair. P A P I L I O N I D ^ E. PIERINAE. HUPHINA NAMA, var. ANDAMANA, n. subsp. Smaller than typical LL. nama ; the male is similarly coloured and marked above: below, in each of the six specimens before me, the cell in the hind wings is not clear pale yellow as in typical H. nama, more than two thirds of it from the base being filled up with the greenish coloration of the rest of the wing ; the pale yellowish streak which usually runs from the base right through the cell near to the outer margin in this subspecies merely consists of a large patch occupying the outer third of the cell and a small space beyond. The female, however, is entirely unlike the female of typical H. nama ; it nearly resembles its male, but the apical band on the fore wings above and below is much deeper ; the marginal band on the hind wing above is also broader and darker, and the costal border and basal portion of both wings are broadly irrorated with blackish-brown atoms. Hind wing below as in the male. Expanse of wings, 3 2-^j-, 2 2fo-2T 5*j inches. Hab. Andaman Islands. 8 o*. ^ 2 > received from Mr. de Niceville. This is, of course, merely a curious local form of //. nama, but as I have never seen it from any other locality I think it is worth recording. APPIAS HIPPOIDES, var. EPICCENA, n. subsp. Male. Similar to the male of A. hippoides, but the black bands on both wings above and below are much narrower. The female, however, is altogetber different, being white above like its male; fore wing with a broad, even, black, costal border, extending downwards nearly halfway into the cell; the base suffused with black, and filling nearly the basal half of the cell, and the marginal bands of both wings resembling in form the marginal bands of the male, but uniformly black and quite double the breadth : underside also as |
