4 Phytophaga Malayana.

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. I shall

therefore confine myself to the points of difference between the

two insects.

In S. mutabilis 8 the antenne 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

hinder thighs are shorter, thicker, and Jess attenuated towards

their apex ; viewed laterally, they are suddenly thickened at their

base, and then gradually increase in width to beyond their middle ;

in S. 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. mutabilis is more regularly

curved, the thickest portion ofthe 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 the 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.

6 Phytophaga Malayana.

Robust, 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 antenne black,

opake. Head finely punctured; antennez 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 alens. 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 tibize 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 resembiance to 8S.

superba and quadraticollis than to §. 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.

antennz half the length of the body, obscure rufous, basal joints

obscure zneous, 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 paralle!, 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 rugee. Scutellum 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 D. 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

Head deeply constricted behind the eyes, the latter prominent,

deeply notched; face triangular ; antenne 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 this insect ditfer somewhat from the one from

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 antenne 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 antennz 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 4, though

equally long, is less robust and slightly curved at its apex.

The g of ZL. connectens may be known from either of the

other two species by the much shorter spine on the hinder femora;

14 Phytophaga Malayana.

both sexes may be readily distinguished by the nigro-ceeruleous

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 antennz ; 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

suleation, 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; the space bounded by the transverse groove:

in front, posteriorly by the base of the thorax, and laterally

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

Jarge 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

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

each nearly twice the length of the second. Thorax distinctly

longer than broad ; upper surface smooth, nitidous, a longitudinal

space on the middle disc impressed with minute punctures. Scu-

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.

This 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 his Z. cyanipennis, whilst M. Lacor-

daire’s insect (for which I would propose the name of L.

Lacordairi) 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

two species, although agreeing very closely in form, sculpture

and coloration, may be readily known from each other by the

relative proportion of their antenne; in L., cyanipennis these

organs are at least two-thirds the length of the body; in ZL.

Lacordairu 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 antennz

(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 :—

surface smooth, nitidous, impressed on the middle disc with some

very minute punctures, only visible under alens. Scutellum tri-

hairs. Elytra much broader than the thorax, but nevertheless

narrower than in C. semipunctata, 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

Thorax subquadrate, 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, bere and there on

the basilar space, on the transverse depression and along tlhe

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-

eated 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 antennz

and the puncturing of its elytra, closely approaches C. semipunc-

tata; it is however a much shorter and broader insect ;_ the an-

tennz are also shorter and the mesosternal process narrower ; in

C. semipunctata this latter part is broader, and has its sides sub-

parallel. Var. A resembles C. semipunctata 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.

basal impression, smooth, impunctate. Scutellum elongate-tri-

gonate, closely covered with adpressed silvery hairs. Elytra

much broader than the thorax, oblong, subcylindrical, basilar

space elevated, bounded beneath by a broad shallow depression ;

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

from base to apex.

It is with great doubt that I separate this insect from C. obli-

terata; in form of antenne, 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 obliterata.

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

range 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

parallel; 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 India, Ceylon and the Malay Archipelago, whilst the

second or elongate form is the one most usually met with in

Assam, Northern India and China.

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 sulcate on the hinder

portion of its course, and, together with one or two of the outer

striz, 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

abdomen 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; inC.Clarki 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 ; antenne 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. mmpressa

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 strize 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-

disc in a longitudinal row. Hinder tibiz paler than the others.

The very robust form and dilated elytra will at once distinguish

this species from C. terminata; the antennze are much longer

and entirely filiform, and the fourth joint distinctly longer than

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 fine adpressed concolorous pubescence, edges of the segments

clothed with a row of coarse hairs.

This insect is nearly allied to C. Pfeiffere ; the pale antenne 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

Lacordaire’s Monograph, is unknown to me.

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

Entirely similar to 7. Westwoodii, 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 7. Cumingii and three of 7’. Westwoodiz) 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 7’, Westwoodii, the apex of the humeral callus rather more pro-

duced. Body beneath clothed with coarser hairs than the upper

surface; abdomen entirely nigro-piceons, with the exception of the

extreme base, where it passes between the hinder coxee. 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 7’

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 antennze and

broader thorax, together with the more prominent mammary

processes on the metasternum, will separate this species from its

congeners.

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 dise

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-

lum 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 shining ;

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. 12-maculata, 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-

maculata, and the transverse bands on the elytra break up into

spots.

Fam. CHLAMYD/.

Sub-Fam. Cutamype#, Lac.

Mon. Phyt. ii. p. 636.

I have ventured to differ from M. Lacordaire in raising the

Chlamyde from the rank of a sub-family of the Clythrid@ to that

of a separate family. These insects appear to me to occupy a

place midway between the true Clylthrid@ and the Cryptocephalide,

presenting strong affinities with either group.

Agreeing with the former principally in the form of the antennze,

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 antenna, being allied by this

last character to the Lamprosomide. ‘The other sub-families of

Lacordaire’s family Clythride, 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 Cryptocephalide, whilst in the body of the work

he makes it a sub-family of the Clythride, 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 Chlamyda, it being

sufficient to refer to the characters of the Chlamydee, as laid

down by Lacordaire.

interspaces forming close elevated reticulations; gibbosity im-

pressed with a broad, shallow, longitudinal groove, which, distinct

at its base, is gradually lost on the anterior portion of the gibbosity.

Elytra rugose-punctate, the interspaces along the middle of the

disc forming four or five irregular longitudinal ridges; each

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

each other and with the intermediate pair; the four others oblique,

arising two on either side from the middle lines, the outer pair

short. Elytra more coarsely punctured than the thorax, sub-

parallel, slightly narrowed towards their apex; shoulders promi-

nent; disc of each elytron furnished with four indistinct longitu-

dinal ridges; the first rises at the base near the scutellum, runs

parallel to the suture, is slightly elevated in the middle of its

way between the suture and humeral callus, runs nearly parallel to

the first, andends abruptly at its apical tuberosity ; the third, arising

from the humeral callus, runs obliquely inwards to join (by means

of a strongly raised transverse tuberosity) the second ridge at its

middle; from this point a longitudinal branch runs downwards

parallel to the remaining portion of the second ridge, and joins a

tubercle at the commencement of the apical portion of the disc ;

the fourth ridge, parallel to the outer margin, is united about its

middle to a transverse tuberosity on the outer disc; and on the

apical region are five or six strongly raised, irregular tuberosities.

narrowed posteriorly into an acute angle, its surface covered with

six raised carine; the middle pair parallel, confluent at their base,

produced anteriorly to a short distance within the apical border

I have founded the present genus for the reception of two new

species of Cryptocephalide, collected by Mr. Wallace. In form of

thorax it agrees with Prasonotus and Ditropidus, differing, how-

ever, in having the apex of its basal lobe entire and received into

62 Phytophaga Malayana.

the base of the scutellum instead of itself receiving the latter,

as in the two above-named genera; from Cenobius and Achenops,

both which genera have the apex of the basal lobe of the thorax

received into the base of the scutellum, and have subincrassate

antennze, 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 Cryptocephalus 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.

line; on either side, just above the insertion of the antenna, 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 stria, 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 strie confused; a large subbasal rotundate

spot, acommon 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

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

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 antennz 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 monstrosus the antenne 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. bisertatus that a detailed

description is unnecessary. I shall therefore only point out the

differential characters between the two species; in C. cupreatus

the anterior margin of the front is obtusely rounded, not produced

in the middle, and not sinuate on either side; the antennz 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 basilar space separates C. approaimans from its allies. ‘The

of C. costatus (post, p. 110), which possesses the same character

sides straight and slightly diverging from the base to beyond the

middle, thence rounded and converging to the apex ; the anterior

Elytra oblong, slightly dilated posteriorly, convex ; basilar space

slightly raised, entirely surrounded (its base excepted) by a broad,

deep but ill-defined depression ; humeral callus prominent ; on

the outer disk, parallel to the lateral border, are two longitudinal

costz ; 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-

distinct ; whole surface somewhat closely covered with rather

coarse punctures, which have a tendency near the suture and on

the outer disk to arrange themselves in longitudinal striz.

I possess only a single specimen, a ¢; the g, which 1 do not

know, is probably without costz on the elytra.

Head very distantly punctured, front impressed with the usual

longitudinal groove; anterior border separated from the encarpe

and epistome by a deep sutural groove, very obtusely angled, ob-

soletely excavated on either side, the apex produced into an obtuse

lobe; epistome scarcely longer than broad, campanuliform; en-

carpe broadly cultriform, their surface smooth, nearly plane, not

thickened above; antennz 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.

Corynodes propingquus and the two preceding species, mutabilis

and fulgurans, are very closely allied, and I formerly considered

them as mere varieties of one species. C. mutabilis and fulgurans

may be known from each other by the 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,

This insect is so nearly allied to C. fraternus, (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, fraternus.

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 War. C, it is not produced posteriorly,

the hinder border forming a transverse straight line, whilst an-

teriorly it extends upwards to the base, entirely covering the

shoulder; in Var. D it becomes smailer and irregularly cruciform.

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 antenne 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

the anterior two-thirds the costze are much broken up and inter-

rupted through the coarse irregular reticulations of the surface,

on the hinder third they are more or less vermiculate. Thighs

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. Laportii (p. 148), but may be known by the less strongly raised

coste on the hinder third of the elytra.

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,

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.

Hab. Philippine Islands.

Head strongly but not very closely punctured; epistome

not distinctly separated from the front, its anterior border

concave-emarginate ; antennz two-thirds the length of the body,

slightly thickened towards the apex. ‘Thorax not longer than

broad, subcylindrical, 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, clothed with silvery-white hairs, surface

coarsely and closely punctate, 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,

Genus Ruyparipa, Baly.

Journ. of Entom. i. p. 286.

Corpus subquadrato-ovatum, oblongum aut subelongatum, con-

vexum. Caput perpendiculare ; frontis margine antico ple-

rumque bilobato; antennis filiformibus aut subfiliformibus,

gracilibus ; oculzs oblongo-ovatis, intus plerumque sinuatis.

Thorax conicus aut transversus, lateribus marginatis. Llytra

parallela aut apicem versus perparum angustata, apice rotun-

data, regulariter punctato-striata. Pedes robusti; femoribus

paullo incrassatis, subtus rarius dentatis ; ¢i6zs posterioribus

quatuor extus ad apicem emarginatis ; unguiculis unidentatis.

Prosternum oblongum aut elongatum; episterno antico sub-

trigonato, sulcis inter prosternum et episterna obsoletis.

Mesosternum subquadratum aut oblongum, apice paullo

The transverse thorax separates this genus from Chrysopida ;

the filiform antennz and toothed claws from Callisina; the

different form of the head from Scelodonta.

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 subconic, much narrower than the elytra ; body brilliantly

metallic.

from the front, its apical sutures being entirely obsolete; sides

straight, slightly converging backwards; anterior border mode-

rately concave-emarginate ; surface remotely punctured ; labrum

piceo-fulvous, its anterior margin deeply notched; jaws black ;

eyes larger than in R. purpurea; antennee black, three lower

joints obscure fulvous. Thorax more than twice as broad as

long ; sides rounded and converging from base to apex ; anterior

angles acute, subtuberculate ; hinder angles thickened; surface

very minutely granulose, very sparingly impressed here and there

with small but deep punctures. Scutellum rather longer than

broad, semiovate, its apex acute. Elytra similar in form to those

of R. purpurea; punctures placed more distantly on the striz, larger

and more deeply impressed in front, finer behind the middle than

in that species, the interspaces less convex.

R. fraternalis differs also from R. purpurea in the sparingly

punctured thorax, the different form of the epistome, and in the

narrow space between the eyes.

The present genus differs from Rhyparida and Nodostoma in

the form of the thorax; in Stethotes the lateral border of the

thorax is nearly obsolete, being indicated only by a raised sutural

line ; the side beneath, or ora, is nearly perpendicuiar, and forms,

conjointly with the anterior episternum, a more or less distinct

longitudinal ridge, the edge of which runs perpendicularly down-

wards.

the surface, which is irregularly punctured; the spaces between

the strize (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-

Il. On the Pieride of the Indian and Australian Regions.

By Autrrep R. Wat ace, F.Z.S., &e.

[Read 18th February, 1867. ]

Tue Pieride form a rather extensive group of diurnal Lepidop-

tera 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 brilliant 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 Nymphalide, is not to be met with in a single instance

in the whole range of the present family. The metallic blue of

Morpho and of the Lycenide, and the rich green of various shades

which occurs in most other groups of butterflies, are also entirely

absent. Although the markings are often very beautiful and

very varied, well formed ocellated spots (almost universal in the

Satyride and very frequent in the Nymphalide) 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 Pieride possess specialities of colour, of marking, and of

form of wing, which in their combination mark them out asa

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, ¥

302 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

and-twenty genera, combined with the form of the antenne, 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 Leptalis and Leucophasia with the

strong and compact Callidryas 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. Pieride@ 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 Pieride, together with the considerable differences in the

form of the antenne 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 Pieride. 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 Palzearctic 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,— Huterpe, Leptalis and Hesperocharis,—while the

Indian region has but two, Prionerits and Dercas, and the ~

Australian and Palearctic but one each, Elodina 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 Pieride. 303

the earth, but never extend far northward of the tropics. Colias

and Anthocharis 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 Callidryas, 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, Elodina, Thyca and Eronia, 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

Pieride 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 the 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 Coleoptera,

and especially in Longicornia, 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 Coleoptera 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 sub-family of T’mesisternile confined tothe 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 Buprestide,

and Eupholus among the Curculionide, are similarly restricted ;

while the metallic Elaterid@ (Campsosternus), the giant Buprestid@

of the genus Catoxantha, and the splendid phytophagous Sagre,

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 larve of all the most prominent groups are lig-

nivorous, and even the Carabide 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

Eustern Pieride. 305

conditions are almost identical throughout, 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

diffusion. 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

by storms and by the strong and changing 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

Coleoptera, (as might be expected from the dependence of many

of the spec:es on particular plants, which they might not find in

the place to which 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 Hypocista 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 Llodina, the Erectheus and Priamus groups of Papilio, the

Rachid group of Pieris, the Celestina group of Tachyris, and

the Mysis and Philyra group of Thyca. On the other hand,

Prioneris, Dercas and Thaumantis range over the whole Indian

region, but do not cross the dividing line; while Thestias, the

Coronis group of Pieris, and the genera Luripus, Clerome,

Amathusia, Zeuxidia and Discophora, only pass over the boundary

into Celebes, or along the closely linked chain of islands east

of Java to Timor. In most of these cases, the same groups that

inhabit the Moluccas 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, they do not pass 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-

logical 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 him

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, which 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

Eastern Pieride. 307

islands offers some interesting results agreeing with those which

have been already obtained for the Papilionide. Of any single

island Java takes the lead in the number of species of Pierid@ (35),

which is probably owing to its having been more explored than

Sumatra or Borneo, Next comes Celebes with 30 species, and

further east Ceram with 24 species offers the greatest number,

while Timor has but 18. Java and Timor may be 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

two small islands adjacent to it, as forming a group equivalent to

the much larger groups, which are well characterized by their

peculiar faunas, thus :—

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 Papilionide (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

Pieride 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.

Thyca zebuda, ss Fe T’. Descombesi.

Thyca Rosenbergii, rr 5 ZT’. hyparete.

Tachyris Hombronit, 5 48 T. lyncida.

Tachyris lycaste, af a T. lyncida.

Tachyris zarinda, 3 T. nero.

Tachyris ithome, 3 s T. nephele.

Kronia tritea, “i a any other species.

Iphias glaucippe, as ‘5 I, glaucippe (Java var.).

In all these cases, comprising a large proportion of the Pieride

peculiar to Celebes, the species of that island have the anterior

wings either more elongated or more acute, or the costa rauch

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 Nymphalide. { am not aware that any

similar case has yet been adduced of a peculiarity of form running

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

Eastern Pieride. 309

variety of causes and changes, organic and inorganic, acting and

reacting throughout 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 Pieride present us with none of those wonderful

cases of mimicry which characterize the American genus Leptalis,

and whose perfection enabled Mr. Bates to arrive at a satisfactory

explanation of the phenomenon. The comparatively smail range of

colour and marking in the genera Eupleea and Danais 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 mimicry. The first is that of the Eastern

species of Fronia, 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 Hronia 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 iobea 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

Pieride itself which is the subject of mimicry. This is the genus

Thyca, 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 are, therefore, singularly parallel to the South

American feliconiide, 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: Prioneris thestylis has the under surface

310 . Mr. A. R. Wallace on

marked and coloured almost exactly as in Thyca belladonna, and

the female resembles the same insect almost as much on the

upper surface; both are found at Darjeeling. Pieris sitana, a

species peculiar to Ceylon, wonderfully resembles on the under-

side the common Thyca eucharis which ranges all over India. Prio-

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 lela of Timor departs so much from the

style of colouring of its allies and approaches so nearly to that 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 7’. belisama extend to Timor, or

are represented there by an allied form, that we might, quite in-

dependently of any connexion with P. deta, expect such a species

to be found there. On the whole, then, I think we have suffi-

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 Pieride; 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 Tachyris

paulina, the female (neombo, 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 Yachyris 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 Pieride. 311

interesting to find, however, that dimorphism, which is so strikingly

developed among the Papilionide, should be represented in a

smaller degree in the closely allied group.

A very curious case of close resemblance occurs between two

other insects, Pieris cynis and Tachyris 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 useful 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 antenne 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 Piertde, 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 thiscommonest 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 Cara-

bide,—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 marking

and colouration, which is often found in cases of ‘ mimicry.”

Although 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 antenne, which seems less liable

to sudden and abnormal variations, and by other general characters ;

commencing as usual with the long and slender antennz of the

weak-flying Leptalis and Eulerpe, and ending with the thick

oe Mr. A. R. Wallace on

antennee of the strong-winged Callidryas. The chief difference

from the usual arrangement is in placing Terias before Pveris

and after Felder’s new genus /lodina, 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. Asa first step [ 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 Papilio, 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 I made the 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 Pieride. The character is not one which

_has 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 Yachyris, as

they have most of them pointed wings and a very rapid flight.

Pierts panda, Godt., and Pieris nero, Fab., may be considered the

types.

The genus Thyca, established by Wallengren for the species of

Pieris which have only one precellular subcostal nervule (and

previously indicated asa section by Doubleday), is not adopted by

Vollenhoven in his Monograph of Malayan Pierid@, 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 Pieridae. 313

genus Zhyca form, with very few exceptions, a series whose 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,

forming a saw-like edge often visible to the naked eye. 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 Prioneris, of which the

type will be the Pieris thestylis, Doubl.

There still rermains in the genus Pieris, of which we may con-

sider our P. brassice to be the 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 here admit. The genus 4poria, Hubn., has been adopted by

some European Entomologists for Pieris crategi 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. agathon, 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. crategi, 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 on

Pieris is in having the anal valves of the male more or less

spined. The same character, which is not mentioned by Wallen-

gren, is found in P. mesentina, Godt., P. coronea, Cram., and allies ;

the South American P. monuste, 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 ae os, LHyoA(2).

AA. Two branches of the subcostal nervure

before the end of the cell.

B. Males with tufts of hairs or bristles

at the anal valves ole oe ~~ LACHYRISE (3).

BB. Males with the anal valves bare.

C. Males with the costa serrated Prionerts (4).

CC. Males with the costasmooth.. Preris (1).

Of the external affinities of the Pieride it is impossible to say

much. They have no direct relation to any other family than

the Papilionide, 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 larva 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 ‘‘ Spécies Géné-

ral des Lépidoptéres” 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. 1. C.;” and the second (octavo) Catalogue of 1857, as, “* Moore,

Cat. Lep. E. I. C.” To make the list of described species in the

Eastern Pieride. ola

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.

PIERIDA.

PontiA, Boisd.

A small group of delicate eastern and tropical butterflies,

generally placed next Leucophasia, with which, however, it seems

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,

but extend through the islands east of Java to Timor, and thence

into North West Australia.

Voy. Novara, Lep. p. 215.

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 Terias,

and others have been placed in the genus Pierts, They seem

allied to both Pontia and Terias, and are the only well marked

group of Pierid@ 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

TeERtas, Swainson.

These small white and yellow butterflies are generally dis-

tributed throughout the tropics, where they frequent gardens

and plantations and the 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 thus 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.

Hab.—India, Malacca, Java, Borneo, Philippines, Celebes,

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.

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 7’. venata, and the fringe is narrower and

more dusky,

A very distinct species by its reddish under surface ;. the spe-

rounded, and the black border terminating less abruptly, but

they can hardly be considered distinct. One specimen in the

the anal angle.

Beneath: rich yellow; upper wings with two minute discoidal

dots, and marginal dots as in 7. smilax; lower wings scantily

speckled with black scales, a discoidal and a submarginal small

black spot towards the base, and very faint transverse dusky

10. Terias mgana, n. sp.

The second subcostal branch and the disco-cellular nervure of

the lower wing arising close together as in 7’. herla. Wings

elongate, uppers with a black border at the apex not quite reach-

ing the outer angle, above which are two rounded indentations ;

lower wings with a row of marginal dots, sometimes connected

by a narrow black edging; a black mark sometimes appears at

the end of the cell. Beneath: upper wings with a black dis-

coidal spot and minute marginal dots; lower wings with discoi-

dal and basal spot as in 7’. australis, sometimes another within

the cell, and a transverse curved dusky band, sometimes very

distinct, at others almost obsolete. Black points at the ends of

15. Terias rubella, n. sp.

Above, like 7. drona, but the wings are shorter, and the

outer margin of the uppers slightly concave, the black border of

the hind wings narrower, toothed at each nervure, not reaching

the anal angle, the fringe and two spots on the costa near the apex

brick-red. Beneath, marked like 7. drona, but the whole costal

margin and the fringe clear brick-red. Club of antennz beneath,

palpi and head also red.

Expanse of wings 1} inch.

Hab.—Calcutta (Coll. Moore), Darjeeling, China (B. M.).

This pretty little species is quite distinct from 7’. drona in form,

although closely resembling it in markings.

16. Terias fimbriata, n. sp.

Form of 7. hecabe. Above, clear yellow; a black border at the

extremity of the uppers from the end of the first subcostal nervule

to the outer angle, pretty regularly toothed within and dilated

into a small apical patch, in which is a dusky indentation. The

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

end of the cell, a zigzag mark in the middle, and a smaller one

near the base, and a line of three or four reddish spots between

the cell and the apex ; lower wings with a large brown discoidal

upper wing, commencing abruptly between the first and second

subcostal nervules, and reaching the outer angle, not regular

within and dilated into a quadrate patch at the apex ; fringe black.

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 7’. fimbriata,

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.

Expanse of wings 1? inch.

The black border is not quite regularly toothed or sinuated

within as Boisduval describes it, yet I believe this must be his

species. The Indian specimen agrees, but has the border of the

hind wings very narrow.

Hab.—Macassar and Menado (Celebes), and the Sulla Islands

This very handsome species varies much in the extent of the

black borders in both sexes. I possess a female in which the

wings are entirely dusky black above.

This (with several other species) has been described by both

Vollenhoven and Felder, in works dated the same year, but as

that of Vollenhoven was first published and sold, I have been

obliged to adopt his names.

32. Terias celebensis, n. sp. (PI. VI. fig. 1, $.)

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 17 inch to 2} inches.

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

This beautiful and very distinct species forms an interesting

transition to the male of 7. candida. It is restricted to the Celebes

district, which includes the Sulla Islands.

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.

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 7. can-

dida, 8. Vollenhoven (Mon. Pier. p. 69) says his specimen of a

female from Ternate is white. This would agree with my 7'.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. virgo?

35. Terias virgo, un. sp.

Male.—Above, rich yellow, the black border of the upper wings

Female.—Colour above, pure white as in T. candida, 9; border

as in 7’. puella, 3.

Pirris.

This genus will now contain all the species of the old genus

Pieris which have two subcostal nervules 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 Pieridae. 329

P, gliciria and its allies, and altogether absent in P. daplidice and

in some South American species. In P. mesentina, P. teutonia,

the African P, severina, and a few allied species, 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 antennz 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 antennze

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 antenne

rather abrupt; third subcostal nervule very

short or wanting.

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

tened; palpi short; front very hairy ;

third subcostal of moderate length.

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.

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.

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 bright ochre-yellow. Female smaller, of a dirty yellow-

white, with a much wider black border.” (Boisd.)

6. Pieris affinis, Vollenhoven.

Pieris affinis, Voll. Mon. Pier. p. 40, pl. 5, fig. 2, 3.

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 affinity 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 2 gave

rise. It must now come in the group of true Pieris, and is nearest

to P. rachel, Bd., though forming a distinct subsection.

particularly interesting as showing an approach to the curious

P. affinis, which it serves to connect with this group,

P. Wallaceana, Feld. Voy. Novara, p. 168, ¢.

Hab.—Waigiou (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

BEY 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. Iam sorry to be obliged to cancel the name of an insect

which Dr. Felder has kindly dedicated to myself.

Pieris pitys, God. Enc. Méth. ix. p. 134; Bd. Sp. Gén. p. 470.

Hab.—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, pitys.

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

The dark underside of the fore wings distinguishes this very

readily from pitys and rachel,

Hab.—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

of the under surface. This is sometimes supposed to be P. lanassa,

Boisd., but it certainly does not agree with his description. Fel-

der’s description of his P. perithea 9 so exactly agrees with this

in almost all points that I cannot keep it separate.

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

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 surface of the lower wings earthy-

brown with an orange tinge; the apical spots are obsolete, and

the 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 1,9, inch.

Hab.—Moreton Bay, Australia (Coll. Hewits. g; 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 periclea, 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; costaand base dusky, a triangular black

apical patch notched in the middle and reaching the outer angle,

with a curved row of six small elongate subtrianguiar 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 1% inch.

A specimen in Mr. Hewitson’s Collection agrees exactly above,

but beneath the dise of the hind wings is ochre-yellow, the sub-

Hab.—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-

Jenhoven, while he keeps the males with P. aspasia.

17. Pieris emma, Vollenhoven.

Pieris emma, Voll. Mon. Pier. p. 24, pl. 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.

colour and with a broader black border; beneath, the fore wings

are much whiter, the hind wings yellow, with the costal and sub-

costal nervures black-bordered. ‘The female is intermediate be-

tween aspasia 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.

Hab.—Philippine Islands (Coll. Wall., B. M.).

A specimen from Hong Kong in the British Museum agrees

with this, but is of a reddish-orange tint on the lower wings.

19. Pieris hester, Vollenhoven.

Pieris hester, Voll. Mon. Pier. p. 24, pl. 4, f. 1, 2.

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, 6. 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. hester, g, and

with a black border slightly wider than in P. aspasia.

Female.—Difters in nearly the same way from the female of P.

aspasia ; the colour much paler, and the markings on the under side

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, but 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, but 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-

ing 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 dise 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.—F lores, Lombock (Wall.).

Eastern Picride. 337

In fine specimens of the male the underside is rich orange-red.

Vollenhoven (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, 4.)

Form of wings as in P. temena; same size.

Male.— Above, like P. temena, but the black border about twice

as wide. Beneath: differs from P. 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 dise 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.—Baly (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 Thycu 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.

First varielyx— Above: apex of the upper wings blacker, the

spots scarcely marked ; hind wings without black markings on the

grey border. Beneath: the costa and apex of the uppers darker,

the posterior band of the hind wings much broader, and the

nervures more widely margined, the submarginal spots very

small.

Hab.—Sula Islands (Coll. Wall.).

Second variety.— Above, whiter, nearly like P. eperia, the apex

dark, with small white Jinear 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.

Hab.—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.

Pieris coronis, part, Bd. Sp. Gén. p. 471.

Hab.—India (Coll. Wall., B. M.).

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.

82. Pieris corva, n. sp.

Pieris coronis, var. A., Bd. Sp. Gén. p. 472, 2.

Female.—Has the nervures round the cell of the upper wings

much thickened, and the white apical spots obsolete ; beneath, as

in the male.

with each other, and with the true Piervs, 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 Papilionide.

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.

neath leads to P. agathon, which otherwise appears so different.

(Pieris hippia, Bremer, Lep. Ost-Sibiriens, tab. iii. f. 1, from

East Siberia, is very near P. soracta, Moore.)

Tuyca, 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 antennze are gene-

rally long and slender, the wings ample, the uppers often much elon-

gated. The larve are clothed with long hairs, and the pupe 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 Pieride ; 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 witha red semicircle

at their base beneath.

b. Belladonna group. Lower wings with a basal yellow patch.

ce. Belisama group. Lower wings with a red spot at the base

beneath, between the costal and sub-

costal nervures.

Eastern Pieridae. 345

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

yellow, and a submarginal band of red,

white or yellow spots.

e. 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.

2. Thyca henningia, Eschscholtz.

Pieris henningia, Eschsch. Voy. Kotzebue, pl. ix. f. 20a, 20b, 2.

Form of 7". 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 7’, 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 7. 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 7’. 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 3} inches,

Hab.—Manilla (Coll. W. W. Saunders).

A beautiful species, closely allied to the Indian T. pasithoe,

346 Mr, A. R. Wallace on

3. Thyca pandemia, n. sp. (PI. VI. fig. 4, 4a, $.)

Upper wings shorter and hind wings more elongated than in

T. pasithoe.

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 7. pasithoe, 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 7’, henningia, but still narrower.

Expanse of wings 22 inches.

HTab.—Borneo (Coll. W. W. Saunders, Brit. Mus.).

A beautiful modification of 7. pasithoe, at once distinguished

by the absence of the band across the upper wings.

Hab.—Java (Wall.) ; Sumatra, Biliton, Banca (Voll.).

Vollenhoven in his Monograph of Malayan Pieride (p. 7) gives

also “‘ Ceram” as a locality for this insect, but I have no doubt this

is an error, and therefore do not include it among the localities.

The whole group to which this species belongs is restricted to the

Indian region.

5. Thyca crithoe, Boisduval.

Pieris crithoe, Bd. Sp. Gén. p. 450; Voll. Mon. Pier. p. 7, &.

Female.—Has the patch on the upper wings whiter, two spots

at the end of the cell and those at the apex large and white; on

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

Jongation across the end of the cell. Beneath, differs from the

male nearly as above, and on the lower wings the yellow patch

does not extend so far up the wing, leaving a notched black band

between it and the red base.

Boisduval has described an Indian female as the male of Cra-

thisbe $, Bd. Sp. Gén. p. 449, is the female.)

Hab.—N. India (Coll. Wall., B. M...

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 parthenope,n. sp. (Pl. VI. fig. 5, 5a, 4.)

Male.—Above: form and markings almost exactly as in 7.

pasithoe $, 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 J. pasithoe, the markings of the rest of

the wing arranged as in 7. 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.

9. Thyca ninus,n. sp. (PI. VII. fig. 1, 3.)

Closely allied to 7. pyramus, Wall. Male.—Wings broader

uppers more triangular, the outer margin not concave and pro-

348 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

duced. Above: upper wings marked nearly as in 7. pyramus,

but the ground colour is blacker, and the basal patches bluer

and less elongate; lower wings with the red patch at the

base much smaller, not filling one third of the cell, below it a

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 7. 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.

Expanse of wings 3 inches.

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

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

and locality from its allies, that I have felt obliged to give it a,

different name, although its general appearance is such that many

Entomologists would at once pronounce it “a mere varicty.”

Male specimens only were taken by myself at Malacca.

The specimens vary in size, form and colouration. Some are

very black, with the spots smaller, and scarcely a trace of yellow

Hab.—Australia (Coll. Wall., B. M.).

It is difficult to locate this common Australian species. The

form of its wings and the black under surface of the hind wings,

be more allied to 7. agostina. I have not seen a specimen, nor is

it in the Leyden Museum.

Hab.—Java, Borneo, Singapore (Wall.) ; Sumatra (Voll.).

This species presents slight but apparently permanent diffe-

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 has no black hind border but a broad ashy one,

while beneath it is intermediate between the preceding and the

type. Both however are larger, and have more elongate wings

than the Java specimens.

Vollenhoven gives ‘ Ceram” as another locality, but this is evi-

dently an error.

which are largest and yellow, the base of the lower wings yellow-

tinged, and the hind border enclosing a line of narrow yellow

spots.

Female.—Above, white, with a much broader dusky border to

the anal angle, the base of the uppers dusky, and a band at the

end of the cell connecting the costa with the outer border.

Beneath, there is a band of six spots near the outer margin of

the uppers, the second and third being larger and yellow; the

base of the wings, the anal margin, and several marks between

my specimen from Amboina. I have no hesitation, therefore, in

considering the former locality as an error, more especially as the

collector’s name is not given. |

44, Thyca philolis, n. sp. (PI. VIII. fig. 4, 3.)

Very near 7. philyra, but with many points of difference, as

follows :—

Male.—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 7. philyra 3, except that the red

spots are rather broader and extend higher up near the abdominal

margin. Size the same as of large specimens of 7’. philyra.

Very near 7’, tsse, but with many points of difference, as fol-

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 white 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-

thirds black, and one-third yellow, the division not being clearly

defined as in 7’, 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.

4JZab,—Bouru (Coll, Wall.).

This species differs from T, disse in almost exactly the same

points that 7. philotis 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, ;

Male.—Above, white, the colours of the under surface showing

360 Mr. A. R. Wallace on

through; a narrow black border on the costal, outer, and hind

margins ; near the apex of the upper wings are four or five white

spots, formed by a dusky transverse band from the outer margin,

which does not reach the costa, and is crossed by black nervures ;

base of the wings dusky. Beneath: upper wings uniform black,

with an apical band of five white spots ; lower wings rich chrome-

yellow, paler on the upper margin, with a rather broad black

border, in which is a marginal row of white spots tinged with yel-

low.

Expanse of wings 21 inches.

56. Thyca orphne,n.sp. (Pl. VIII. fig. 2, 3. )

Form of the Aspasia group of Pieris. Male.—Above, white, with

the base dusky ; upper wings with a narrow black border from the

apex to near the outer angle, the costa dusky, as well as the extremity

of the cell, and a broad marginal band beyond as if smeared with

black ; the lower wings have a very narrow dusky edging behind.

Beneath: the uppers have the base dusky, a broad patch at the

end of the cell nearly black, and a broad dusky outer margin, en-

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

band of yellow crosses the lower half of the cell, and reaches up

to the inner margin near the base of the wing.

Expanse of wings 23 inches.

HHab.—Malacca (Mount Ophir) (Coll. Wall.).

This curious species is rather difficult to locate. Its neuration

shows it to belong to the genus Z’hyca, and it seems best placed

near nysa and momea on account of its black under wings beneath,

although the amount of yellow with which it is adorned gives

it a different aspect.

this species is allied to 7’. orphae, and comes in the nysa group.

men slender. Anal valves of the male elongated and provided

with a tuft of long and stiff hairs at each side at the base beneath,

as shown in the accompanying figures, compared with the same

part in allied genera :—

1. Zachyris nathalia, Felder.

2. Tachyris nero, Fabricius.

8. Pieris agathon, Gray.

4, Pieris teutonia, 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 eudoxia, Drury, belong to

this genus, and a few others allied to them; while in South

America, margarita, Hiibner, and several closely-allied 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

Eastern Pieride. 363

the manner of the genus Callidryas. The Eastern species may

be conveniently arranged in the following groups :—

a. Panda group. Male white or yellowish, fore wings elon-

gated acute; female dark-bordered,

wings more rounded.

b. Liberia group. Male bluish or dark brown, fore wings

acute; female dusky, or white and

black.

ce. Nero group. Male red or orange, fore wings acute;

female dusky.

d. Pandione group. Broader, colours white and black; lower

wings beneath dusky irrorated, with a

spot on the disco-cellular nervule.

e. Polisma group. Wings broad, delicate, white and black,

not irrorated beneath; discoidal cells

short.

This very fine species must come into the present genus,

The species to which it is most closely allied is Tachyris lynceola

of the Celebes butterflies. (See Trans. Linn. Soc. xxv. pp. 14—

The male is pretty constant and is well described by Boisduval.

The female is very variable, some specimens being nearly white,

with dusky costa, apex and connecting band, and the markings

beneath, nearly obsolete ; others are dusky brown, with patches on

the upper and lower wings and submarginal spots white or buffy-

white, while beneath they are richly banded and margined with

chrome-yellow ona 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

end of the cell. The markings of the under side of the male are

sometimes nearly obsolete.

white patch notched exteriorly, situate below the cell and the

second median nervule, and two small ovate white spots (the

upper much the largest) just beyond the end of the cell towards

the apex of the wings; lower wings with a large ill-defined white

patch, occupying the disk of the wing and reaching the anterior

and anal margins. Beneath, pearly white, with a broad rusty-brown

The Java males vary somewhat, but are often undistinguishable

from those of Baly and Lombock. Tor some time I considered

T’. lynceola, Feld., to be Cramer’s lyncida, and described this as a

new species :—

Male.—Above, like T. lynceola &, 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 7’. lynceola in the same way as

above, and has the margin of a paler brown. Larger and has

rather more pointed wings than 7’. lynceola.

Female.—Varies much, but agrees well with the species de-

scribed by Boisduval as Pieris hippo (Sp. Gén. 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-

row stripes of pale yellow.

Expanse of wings varies from 2 to 2? inches.

6. Tachyris lycaste, Felder.

Pieris lycaste, Feld. Voy. Novara, p. 164, &.

costa black-edged and dusky towards the base; outer edge of the

uppers concave, with a narrow toothed blackish border not reach-

ng the outer angle; lower wings witha very narrow black edging

only near the outer angle. Beneath, white, the lower wings

faintly tinged with ochreous-yellow, with a narrow yellow edging

at the base ; the margins as above, and a rather broad costal band

pale brown.

Female.—Above, like 7’. hippo. Beneath, paler, lower wings

pearly-ash, with a faint posterior marginal band, and the costal

and subcostal nervures light brown.

Expanse of wings ¢ 27, 9 2% inches.

patches separated by the median nervules; the lower wings with

a diffused discoidal white band. Beneath, as in the Timor speci-

mens, but the posterior band is rather wider, and the costa of the

Hab.—Bouru, Ceram, Amboina, Mysol, Aru Islands, New

Guinea (Coll, Wall.).

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.

13. Tachyris clavis, n. sp.

Male.—Difters from 7’. ada only by the rather broader pos-

terior band of the hind wings both on the upper and under sur-

faces.

Female.—Above, differs from 7. ada in the ground colour

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

middle of the under wings, and in the borders being much broader,

of a browner colour, and less dentated. Beneath, there are similar

differences, the chief being the much larger posterior border on

the hind wings, and the basal half being entirely yellow, with

The female of this form differs so strikingly in appearance

from that of 7. ada, which is nearly constant through a wide

the various forms allied to 7’. hippo, the differences are not such

as are usually considered to be specific.

14. Tachyris abnormis, n. sp. (Pl. VIII. fig. 5, 2.)

Female.—Fore wings with the outer margin more rounded than

in the female of 7. 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.—New Guinea (N. W. extremity) (Coll. Wall.).

This very remarkable species appears to come best here. In

colouration it bears a striking general resemblance to the beautiful

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 23 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 23 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, @), 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,

tion from the delicately coloured form of the Moluccas (neombo,

Bd.) to the darkest specimens of paulina, 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 neombo. The specimen from Gilolo,

described by Vollenhoven (Mon. Pier. p. 36), 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

British Museum is small, and on the under side has the uppers

yellow at the base, and the disc of the lower wings uniform rich ochre-

yellow. ‘Two others from Australia have the dise 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 melania 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 urania, 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-

portions, which indents it between the nervures, Beneath, differs

from T. paulina chiefly by the hind wings being pale ochre-yel-

the anal angle, and the space beyond this is dusky-yellow.

Vollenhoven (Mon. Pier. p. 35) describes as the female of this,

that which I consider a variety of paulina, 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.

Above, sulphur-yellow ; costa and base of uppers dusky, a broad

black border occupying the outer half of both the wings, angu-

the uppers, the second and third largest. Beneath: the dark band

is violet-brown, paler near the margin, the spots violet-white, and

there are two more indistinct spots near the outer angle; the base

of the upper wings is orange, and the disc of the lower whitish,

374 Mr, A. R. Wallace on

he omits to mention that the underside of the female is slightly

dusky, caused by a few groups of ashy scales, and that the yellow

margin 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. I had named

and described this species before receiving Dr, Felder’s work.

dusky; broad border and apical triangle black, with four sub-

apical spots of the colour of the disc. Beneath, the markings as

above ; in the white variety the disc pearly-white, the base of the

uppers and the abdominal margin of the hind wings yellow, the

costal margin of the hind wings chrome yellow, the apex of the

upper and the outer margin of the hind wings purplish-ashy, the white

spots diffused ; in the yellow variety the border is deep and nearly

uniform purplish-brown, the disc and spots of the uppers yellow

females are males, as can be easily seen by examining the anal

valves ; specimens exactly similar are in my collection, From

the close resemblance of the male to J’. Jacquinoti, 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 7.

Female.—Upper wings pointed, outer margin concave. Above,

deep sulphur-yellow, sometimes orange-tinged ; costal margin

dusky, a broad jet-black marginal band forming a large triangle

at the apex of the uppers, its inner border notched and enclosing

three yellow spots, two close together near the apex, and one near

the middle of the margin; band of the lower wings angulated

within, leaving a narrow toothed yellow edging near the outer

angle, and terminating at the anal angle. Beneath: disc of upper

wings yellow, their base orange, their tip violet, with three whitish

spots at the edge of the transverse notched black band; lower

wings pearly-white, with a broad marginal band, violet without

and nearly black within, a small spot on the outer and anal angles,

and an edging along the inner margin rich chrome-yellow.

Expanse of wings 24—23 inches.

Hab.—New Caledonia (B. M., Coll. Hew.); “ Balaou, N.

Guinea” (Jacquinot).

A very beautiful insect, near the female of 7. celestina. Lucas

describes it as “ blane jaunatre” above, and it is so represented in

the “ Voy. au Pdél. Sud,” which also gives the hind border too

narrow, so that the insect is hardly recognizable.

81. Tachyris cynisca, n. sp.

Female.—Wings triangular, somewhat acute. Above, white,

with a blackish border from the middle of the costa to the anal

angle, of the same form on the uppers as in 7’, Jacquinoti 2, base

of uppers dusky-grey, deepening along the costa into the border,

two very indistinct pale spots near the apex. Beneath: uppers

white, with the dark band browner, the apex ashy-violet, base of

the wings yellow tinged ; lower wings pearly-white, the border

glossy purplish-ash, uniform; the inner margin with a fine yellow

edging.

Expanse of wings 24 inches.

Hab.—Bouru (Coll. Wall.).

This is probably the female of a species allied to some of the

preceding. It combines the characters of several of them.

yellow, the apical band much wider ; the hind wings with a broader

pearly border, and a submarginal dusky sinuated band not reach-

ing the outer or the anal angles.

Hab.—Philippine Islands (Coll. Hewitson and B. M.),

In my collection I have two males and two females, forming

two pairs, which agree exactly, except that on the underside the

lower wings and the base of the uppers are in one pair pure

yellow, in the other bright orange. As they are all from the same

locality it is probably one of those cases in which a decided varia-

tion occurs in the same brood, with no intermediate links.

35. Tachyris corinna, n. sp.

Male.—Above, exactly like 7. liberia. Beneath, the upper

wings have a black border along the outer margin, broadest at

the apex and regularly narrowing to the outer angle; just within

this at the apex is a spot yellower than the rest of the wing; the

lower wings are uniform chrome-yellow, with a narrow black outer

border, whereas there is a mere edging in 7’. liberia, which has a

border of light yellow.

Expanse of wings 13 inch.

L’emale.—White, base of wings broadly dusky, shading into a

broad black border, which is broadest at the apex and reaches

having an Amboina specimen with which to compare it. The

which is black, whence a border of moderate width, and dentate

on its inner edge, extends to the anal angle. Beneath: upper

Hab.—Bouru (Coll. Wall.).

This insect may not improbably be the female of 7. zarinda,

some species of birds being common to Celebes and Bouru; but

as it is quite as likely to be a distinct species I have thought it

better to describe and name it. The specimen is unique in my

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

The occurrence of a species closely allied to 7. polisma in

Mindanao, is another example of the zoological connexion of this

island and Celebes. TT. illana marvellously resembles Pieris

cynis, 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 antenne. I have little doubt but

that P. egis of Felder is the female of this species.

PRIONERIS, n. g.

Antenne 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

Pieris. 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 [ am informed that Mr. Watson had already

noticed the absence of the characteristic plumules from the wings

of the males of this group, although they exist in all the other

species of Pieris.

The species in several cases seem to mimic those of the genus

Thyca. P. thestylis $ , on the underside, most strikingly imitates

T. belladonna, while the female resembles it on the upper side as

well; P. sila 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.

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 23—23 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.

thestylis.

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 purplish slate-colour, instead of nearly black.

Expanse 34 inches. (P. thestylis 33 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. thestylis, 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.

Pieris 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.

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

This remarkable species so closely resembles in marking and

colour the common Thyca eucharis 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.

Female.—Above: upper wings dusky, with whitish bands in the

cell and parallel to the inner margin, and two curved rows of linear

whitish spots beyond, the inner ones larger, more ovate, and better

marked; lower wings creamy-white, with a broad dusky outer

border, which is prolonged along the nervures to the cell, and en-

closes a row of faint whitish rounded spots. Beneath, upper

wings as above; lower wings as in the male, but the yellow tint

paler and extending over the spots at the outer angle. (B. M.)

border extending on the nervures towards the outer angle in

triangular patches. Beneath, the uppers as above, the nervures

black-bordered, the hind wings bright orange-brown, with the veans

and border deep black, and a marginal row of white spots; the base

marked with a red spot.”

The passages italicised show marked differences from P. cle-

manthe. I have not seen a specimen.

two-thirds and four spots at the outer angle rich yellow, the anal

angle black, extending in a dusky border to the middle of the

Eronia, Hiibner.

The Eastern species of 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.

Female.—Apex rather more rounded than in the male; dusky,

with the spaces between the nervures whitish, as in FZ. valeria and

tobea, but leaving only the nervures and outer margin (enclosing

the submarginal row of spots) dusky. Beneath, silvery, with the

nervures obscurely dusky, the median nervure and its branches

on the upper wing broadly blackish (Coll. Moore).

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. Jt 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 I have had much

difficulty in grouping them satisfactorily.

a large brown discoidal spot, beyond which is an irregular brown

band, merging in a large patch at the outer angle; lower wings

ochre-yellow, sparely irrorated on the disc, and densely on the

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 @nippe (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.

specimens of 7. pirenassa. The two in fact may well be con-

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 Linnean

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.

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

(Var.).—Java, Flores, Timor, Philippine Is, (Coll. Wall.,

This species has a wide range and varies slightly in each locality

in form, size, and colouration. These variations may be best

grouped under two forms,—the type, which has the 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,

and black only.

Hab.—Amboina, Ceram (Coll. Wall.).

This magnificent insect is not uncommon in Amboina as well as

in Ceram, although the Leyden Museum possesses no specimens

from the former locality.

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 antennz 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.

Female.—Larger than the male, pale yellow, the discoidal spot

and transverse streak almost obsolete.

Hab.—Sumatra, Borneo (Coll. Wall., B. M.).

Rhodocera lycorias, Doub}. Zool. Misc. 1842, p. 77 (wood cut) ¢.

Hab.—N. 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. lycorius 2 as a synonym of D. Verhuelliz, 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. Verhuelliz, with the hind wings of a Callidryas.

G. urania, Butler, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1865, p. 458, pl. xxvi. fi 5.

Hab.—N. India (B. M.).

This species agrees better with Dercas than with Gonepteryz, by

the short discoidal cells, though it is somewhat intermediate be-

tween the two genera.

GonepTeryx, Leach.

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

region on its north-western boundary, and these are probably

confined to the higher ranges of the Himalayas. A third species

has been described by Dr. Felder, from Northern China,

Eastern Pieride. 399

Hab.—Ning-po, China (Coll. Felder).

A variety of G. aspasia, Men., from the Amur.

Caturpryas, Boisduval.

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.

1. Callidryas thisorella, Boisduval.

Callidryas thisorella, Bd. Sp. Gén. p. 609.

Hab.—India, Australia (Queensland). (Coll. Wall., B. M.)

A female from Australia only differs from the male above in

the larger discoidal spot. Beneath, it is of a pinkish pearly tint,

with the irrorations obsolete, a large dusky discoidal spot and

another small one on each wing, and a faint submarginal line

formed of dusky patches on both wings.

Hab.—N. India, Malacea, Sumatra, Java, Flores, China, For-

mosa, Philippine Islands (Coll. Wall.).

The specimens from Formosa are very large, but agree in

colour and marking with those from other localities; another

specimen from the same place is as remarkably small.

4. Callidryas minna, Boisduval.

Callidryas minna, Bd. Sp. Gén. p. 612.

Hab,—India, Flores (Wall.); Australia (Voy. Novara).

I took a specimen of what seems to be this species in Flores.

It has a less acute apex and a more rounded outer margin of the

fore wings than in C. pyranthe, and the border is more regularly

curved within, and extends farther along the costa.

Gén. p. 625.

Callidryas endeer, Bd. Voy. Astro]. p. 63, pl. 2, f. 3, 4, 2.

Male.—Above, sulphur-yellow, the outer margins paler, and the

base of a different texture as in C. alcmeone and C. hilaria, but

with no marked difference of colour. Beneath, exactly like C.

a'cmeone, but differs in tint as above.

Female.—V aries much, from a yellow form very like C. hilavia ¢,

Eastern Pieride. 401

to the dark insect figured by Boisduval. Beneath, the colour is

in some specimens nearly uniform yellow or buff, in others there

isa distinct submarginal zigzag dusky band.

Hab.—Celebes, Philippine Islands, Batchian, Ceram, Timor,

Australia, Queensland (Coll. Wall.).

This has been confounded by Vollenhoven with C. alemeone,

from which, however, it is quite distinct. The Timor specimens

are very small in both sexes.

8. Calhdryas phlegeus, n. sp.

Male.—Above, exactly like C. crocale $. Beneath, like C.

hilaria . Thus differing from C. crocale just as C. hilaria differs

from C. alemeone.

Hab.—Timor (Coll, Wall.).

If C. jilaria and C, alemeone are maintained as distinct species,

we cannot refuse the same rank to this form.

III. On the Distribution of Lepidoptera in Great

Britain and Ireland. By Hersurr Jenner Fvst,

Junr., M.A.

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

Mr. H. C. Warson, in his great work on “ British Plants,

and their Geographical Relations”—the Cybele Britan-

nica—has divided Brita into eighteen provinces, and

these again into thirty-eight sub-provinces. These divisions

have been adopted by Mr. A. G. More and others engaged

in investigations of a similar nature, and for the sake of

uniformity will be employed here. “It . to be remem-

bered,” says Mr. Watson (C. B. vol. i. p. 18), “that

these - provinces are only arbitrary paaveee. adopted for

convenience in description and reference, instead of

counties. So far as they do correspond with peculiarities

in the physical geography of Britam, 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 the distribution of insects as of plants.

The following is the arrangement referred to :—

List of Provinces and their ineluded Counties.

into Hast and West Humber by the rivers Humber,

Ouse, and Wiske.

Arrangement and Nomenclature.

Mr. Doubleday’s Synonymic List, published in 1859,

has been followed, with these exceptions : —

1. The orthographical 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 imserted,

and a few namesaltered in conformity with those supple-

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 JLithosia the species are arranged as

in the translation of M. Guénée’s paper on that genus, m

the “ The Zoologist” for 1863; and the new species in

the genus Hupithecia have been most kindly mserted for

me in their proper places by Mr. Doubleday.

Sources 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.

specially it is wished to acknowledge the kind advice

and information afforded by the following gentlemen :—

Revs. H. Harpur-Crewe, G. Gordon, J. Greene, H. Horton ;

Dr. Knaggs; Messrs. C. G. Barrett, HE. Birchall (from

whom most of my information respecting the Lepidoptera

of Ireland is derived), T. Blackmore, 'l’. Chapman, G. B.

Corbin, G. R. Crotch, J. C. Dale, H. Doubleday, A.

Edmunds, C. Fenn, H. M. Geldart, G. Gascoyne, W. F.

Kirby, G. F. Mathew, A.G. More, R. 8S. Scholfield,

Howard Vaughan, J. Jenner Weir, and H. C. Watson.

The records of captures contained in the various maga-

zines are often very erroneous, and in the endeavour to

429 Mr. H. Jenner Fust on the

sift the false from the 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 1s so much easier to prove the presence of

a species in any district than its absence, that it is hoped

this will 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 Colias Hdusa, 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 brassice, rapee, and napt 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 larvee feed upon it, the attach-

ment of some species to certain geological formations,

of others to mountains, and the different altitudes to

which they attaim, are questions of deep imterest, and

worthy of the closest attention ; and should this paper

be considered worthy of bemg 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 mterval between the read-

ing and the publication of this paper to make the Tables

as complete as possible down to the end of 1867.

Distribution of Lepidoptera. 423

Heplanation of Table I.

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 larvee 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., 1s

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.

44.6 Mr. H. Jenner Fust on the

Haplanation of Table II.

The figures in Table II. refer to the “ sub-provinces ”

previously explamed 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. Barrer.

b.—Mr. Epwin Bircaatt.

c.—Rev. H. Harpur-Crewe.

d.—Mr. J. C. Date.

e.—Mr. Henry Dovsiepay.

f.—Rev. Gzorce Gorpon.

g.—Rev. JosepH GREENE.

h.—Rev. H. Horton, except in sub-province 14,

where it generally indicates the joint au-

thority of this gentleman and Mr. Asra-

HAM EpMmunpDs.

k.—Dr. Kwaaes.

71.—Mr. Witiiam Lenonn.

m.—Mr. G. F. Matruew.

n.—Mr. Cuarizs Fenn.

o.—Mr. A. G. More.

7.—Mr. G. R. Crotcx.

s.—Mr. H. T. Srarnron, in the “ Manual” and

elsewhere.

w.—Mr. J. JENNER WEIR.

z.—Mr. H. Jenner Foust; in sub-provinces 12,

18, and 29, jomtly with Mr. R. S.

ScHOLFIELD.

Distribution of Lepidoptera. 44.7

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 bemg the sole recorded

locality in its sub-province.

Q Q.2

492 Mr. H. Jenner Fust on the

Haplanation of Table IIT.

This Table may be considered as in some measure a

combination of Tables V. and VI. in the fourth volume

of the “‘ Cybele Britannica.”

1. Longitude.—In the first column the letters “w” and

‘e” stand for West and Hast Britain.

Hast Britain contains sub-provinces—

5, 6,17, 6, 95 LO, 11, 12, °19)°207 22.28, 24.7285 29) oOo te

West Britain includes sub-provinces—

L253; 4, 134 14; 15, 1G lis IS,i21e 2ore265 Zieeenes:.

34, 35, 36, 37, 38.

A third letter, “i,” has been prefixed, in order to show

the species which extend westward into Ireland.

2. Latitude.—In the second column the letters “sm n’

stand for South, Middle, and North; the three latitudinal

divisions of Britain.

South Britain includes sub-provimces . 1—18

Mid Britain ; ; : ; 9-23

North Britain ; é 4 OAS

83. The third column, with the head-letters, s. and n.,

shows the number of sub-provinces for South Britain,

as distinguished from Middle and North Britain, the two

latter being taken together. In this column—

South Britain cludes sub-provinces . 1—19

North and Mid Britain : : . 20—38

4. The fourth column, with the head-letters ‘‘w.sc.4.”

shows the number of sub-provinces for Scotland in con-

trast against England, and the western and eastern sides

of England also in contrast against each other. The

Scottish sub-provinces being removed; the western and

eastern divisions will be the same as in the first column ;

the western division having twelve, and the eastern thir-

teen sub-provinces.

5. The fifth column contains the Geographic types.

Mr. Watson uses eight types, which may be thus ex-

plained—

(1.) British Type imcludes species found in all or

nearly all the eighteen provinces, which are not so ex-

clusively prevalent or predominant in any particular por-

tion of the island, as to bring them clearly within one or

other of the following types.

(2.) Hnglish Type, — species having their chief preva-

lence in the southern provinces of England, whence they

Distribution of Lepidoptera. 4.93

gradually become rare in a northern direction, and find

an earler northern limit than those of the preceding

type.

(3.) Scottish Type, — species having their chief preva-

lence in Scotland, and becoming rare in a southern

direction.

(4.) Intermediate Type, — species having their chief

prevalence in Mid Britain, and becoming rarer in a

northern and southern direction.

(5.) Highland Type, — the species referred hereto

are distinguished from the Scottish type by bemg more

especially limited to the mountains or their immediate

vicinity.

(6.) Germanic Type, —species chiefly prevalent mm the

south-east of Britain, and becoming rarer in a northern

and western direction. :

(7.) Atlantic Type, — species chiefly prevalent in the

south-west of Britam, and becoming rarer in a northern

and eastern direction.

(8.) Local or doubtful Type, — species restricted to

single or few provinces, not showing such a decided

tendency to the east or the west, to the south or the

north, to the mountains or otherwise, as to warrant their

assignment to any of the preceding types.

Much misapprehension having existed with regard to

these “‘ types of distribution,” some further imformation

respecting them may be advisable.

British Type.—tt is to be observed (says Mr. Watson,

C. B. vol. i. p. 45), that the name of “ British Type ”’ is

applied to them (i.e. the species referred to this type)

not on any hypothetical notions of their origin within

Britain, but because such a general distribution and pre-

valence indicates great adaptation to the climate and

other local conditions of this country, and entitles them

to be considered thoroughly native both in England and

Scotland.

English Type—The terminal lines of the species

referred to this type are very different among them-

selves ; some being entirely limited to two or three of

the most southern provinces of England, while other

species occur in all the provinces of Britain, with an

exception of two or three of the most northern, the great

majority having their limits between these two extremes.

The name of “ English Type” will not be misunderstood

to indicate that all the species are peculiar to England,

494, Mr. H. Jenner Fust on the

but is to be understood only as implying that the species

are apparently adapted to the climate of Kngland, either

being restricted to that part of Britain, or bemg more

prevalent there than in Scotland.

Scottish Type. — The same _ observations, mutatis

mutandis, apply to the “‘ Scottish Type,’ the species

referred to which, although having their chief prevalence

in Scotland, still descend into England, although charac-

terized by increased rarity southwards.

Germanic Type—This name is not applied with refer-

ence to any supposed origin from Germany, but simply

as indicating the tendency of the species to a distribu-

tion connected with those provinces of England which

are bounded by the German or North Sea eastward, in-

cluding the Straits of Dover and upper part of the

Enghsh Channel.

Atlantic Type.—The name of this type will be under-

stood as having reference only to the distribution of the

species referred to it within Britain itself, and by itself.

It is especially to be remarked that no decided line of

separation can be drawn between these types; they may

be said to pass gradually imto each other, because the

distribution of some species is of such an intermediate

character as to render the choice of type to express it

either dubious or optional.

For further information respecting these ‘‘ types of

distribution,’ see the ‘ Cybele Britannica,” whence the

foregoing explanations have been drawn almost word for

word,

The following is a summary of these types, doubtful

cases being reckoned under the types to which they are

doubtfully referred.

Distribution of Lepidoptera. 495

The great numerical superiority of the English over the

British type is no doubt due to the very imperfect explo-

ration of the north of Scotland, and, as our knowledge

imcreases, many species will have to be transferred from

the former to the latter; though even were our informa-

tion complete, the English type would probably be found

to maintain a considerable superiority, owing to the

conditions which exist in the north of Scotland being

apparently less favourable to insect life than those of the

more southern parts of Britain.

There are a few instances in which species of Diurni

have been referred to different types from those to which

Messrs. Boyd and More assigned them in their paper on

the “‘ Geographical Distribution of British Butterflies,” in

the Zoologist for 1858.

1. Argynnis Lathonia has been transferred from the

Germanic to the English type, principally from having

occurred in Ireland.

2. Pieris Daplidice seems to belong more naturally to

the English than to the Germanic type, having occurred

in sub-provinces 3 and perhaps 14.

3. Lycena Corydon. The occurrence of this species

in sub-provinces 3, 13, and 25, must, I think, bring it

under the English in prefer ence to the Germanic type.

IV. A Catalogue of the Cetoniidee of the Malayan Archi-

pelago, with Descriptions of the new Species. By

ALFRED R. Watacz, F.Z.8., &c.

[Read 1st July, 1867. ]

Tue following Catalogue is founded mainly upon the

specimens collected by myself, with the addition of

those found by Mr. Lamb at and near Penang; and

[ have incorporated all those contained in the Collections

of the British Museum and of Major Parry, and have

further introduced the names of all the described species

of which I have not seen specimens, so as to form as

nearly complete a local catalogue as can be done without

studying the Continental Collections. In Gory and

Percheron’s ‘‘ Monographie des Cétoines,” published in

1833, only 45 species were described from the Malayan

Islands, and a large portion of these were from the

single island of Java. Burmeister’s “ Handbuch der

Entomologie,” dated 1842, has 60 species from the same

region. ‘The British Museum “ List of Cetoniadw,” in

1847, gives 74 species as known, but several of these

were undescribed. Lacordaire, in his “ Genera des Colé-

opteres,” in 1856, gives a list of 85 described species as

found in this district. Since then Thomson has described

9, all collected by myself; Vollenhoven has added 14,

obtained from Dutch collectors, and other authors 5 ;

and in this paper are described 68 additional species,

(also two from Cambodia) ,* bringing up the total to 181

Malayan Cetoniide, not-including the Trichiide.

Taken as a whole the Cetoniide are decidedly scarce

in the equatorial regions. Now and then a species will

occur in profusion, but this is an exception; the rule

being that single specimens of a very few species are to

be found at any one time. There are few groups in

which mere collecting will do so little towards obtaining

a fair proportion of the species. Fine weather, and

good luck in being in the right place at the right time,

will help the travelling collector to a few good things ;

but to obtain any thing like a complete knowledge of

the group requires a long residence and the assistance

of the whole native population. This is well shown by

the comparatively small number of species collected by

* (The whole of the new species were characterized in Proce. Ent, Soc,

1867, pp. xcii—xevii, published in July, 1867.—Sec. Ent. Soe. ]

TR. ENT. SOC, THIRD SERIES, VOL. IV. PART V.—MAY, 1868.] UU

520 Mr. A. R. Wallace’s Catalogue

myself. During eight years most assiduous search, im

about thirty different localities, I only obtained 85

species, or considerably less than half the number now

known. Compare this with other families. I collected

about a thousand species of Longicorns, and I feel certain

that the additional species from the Malayan region

either described or existing in English collections could

not exceed four hundred. So in the Buprestide, the

355 species collected by me must form a very large

proportion of all that are known from the region, for

Lacordaire’s work does not indicate more than 50 species

from the same countries. In the Papilionide, out of

123 known species I collected myself no less than 92;

and of Pieride 121 out of a total of 169.

The Cetonie of the Malayan islands are neither so

large, so varied, nor so numerous as those of the con-

tinent of Asia. The fine horned Goliathine of the Hima-

layas are represented only by two species of Mycteristes

and a few small Heterorhinee, and there is nothing to

make up for this deficiency. Lomaptera, Chalcothea, and

Macronota, are the most charateristic Malayan genera,

and contain many beautiful species, but none exceed the

middle size. The number of species found in any one

locality seems to be influenced, first, by proximity to the

continent, and next, by the mass of the island. The

Peninsula of Malacca, though but very partially ex-

plored, has 44 species; Java, the best known by far of

all the Eastern Islands, has 46; but some of these are

book species which may have been already included

under other names, and even if they were all distinct,

the number is really less in proportion than that of

Malacca, when we consider that the whole surface of

Java is more or less known, and that the whole island

has been for more than a century in the possession of

Kuropeans, while in the Malay Peninsula small collec-

tions have been made only in a very few limited loca-

hties. Further from the continent, we find the whole

group of the Philippines with 32 species; further still,

Celebes with 19; Ceram and Amboyna with 11; the Aru

Islands with 9, and the great Island of New Guinea with

12,—the slightly mcreased number being due to its

large area, and very many more species remaining to

be discovered there. The same diminution in receding

from the continent is visible if we divide the Indian

from the Australian regions of the Archipelago, the

of Malayan Cetonide. O21

former (extending as far east as Java, Borneo, and the

Philippines) having 114 species, while the latter (stretch-

ing from Celebes to the Solomon Islands) has but 70.

This group of insects furnishes us with a very satis-

factory confirmation of the view that the division of the

Archipelago just alluded to is a truly natural one, how-

ever much it may be occasionally masked by special

circumstances. No less than nine genera, Mycteristes,

Agestrata, Clerota, Plectrone, Chaleothea, Centrognathus,

Rhagopteryx, Macroma, and Huremina, are strictly limited

to the Indian region ; and two more, Heterorhina and

Clinteria, only pass beyond it into the closely connected

chain of islands from Java to Timor, and in the case of

a single species into Celebes. Three genera, on the

other hand, Schizorhina, Anacamptorhina, and Sternoplus,

are restricted to the Australian region, and the genus

Lomaptera is almost so, only 3 species out of 25 passing

beyond its limits, of which one, L. striata, is the most

aberrant of the genus, and the other two are closely allied

forms which have a wide range on the continent. These

remarkable limitations of genera do not accord with the

supposition that the whole Archipelago forms a single

zoological region, but they strikingly support the view

that there is a line of very ancient division between its

eastern and western halves, while the divisions between

islands and groups of islands within either half are of

more recent establishment, and are therefore less effi-

cacious in limiting the range of species or of genera.

In classification I have not attempted to do more than

follow Lacordaire, and do not profess to criticize his

work in this very difficult family. I have proposed two

new genera for species that appear to me strikingly

distinct, and I have indicated two others that will pro-

bably have to be established when more materials are

obtained.

The phenomena of variation are well exhibited here,

and there are many cases in which structural characters

are not a surer guide to specific distinction than colour

or markings. In Lomaptera pulla and Macronota regia

we have insects of wide range, and with such an amount

of variation, that few would consider it possible that the

extremes, considered alone, could be the same species ;

but these extremes are united by a series of intermediate

forms, many of which occur together in the same locality.

In other cases we have allied forms from adjacent islands

vu2

522 Mr. A. R. Wallace’s Catalogue

which so nearly resemble each other that it seems

impossible to separate them, but close examination

reveals minute but important differential characters

which seem quite constant. Such are Macronota carbo-

naria and M. egregia, var. nigra ; Schizorhina Whitei and

S. bowruensis; Lomaptera arouensis, L. ceramensis, and

L. cambodiensis ; Lomaptera pygidialis and L. batchiana,

and some others. Such cases force us to the conclusion

that structural and superficial characters are about on

a par as regards introducing any certainty into the

definition of a species, and that a decided difference of

colour and marking is often a better character than a

sight modification of the form or sculpture of some

important organ. Both are sometimes very constant,

both are at times liable to much variation, and it 1s

a matter of judgment and opinion how far we are to be

guided by either in any particular case.

It will be as well, to avoid misapprehension, to say

a few words about the localities given for the various

species. All the specimens noted as from my collection

were either obtained directly by myself in the localities

named, or through collectors whom I knew well. All

these localities therefore may be relied upon as perfectly

authentic. The specimens collected by Mr. Lamb, and

noted as from ‘‘ Penang,” were most of them collected,

not in the island, but in the main land of the Malay

Peninsula opposite, termed the “ Province of Wellesley.”

“* Penang” may therefore be held to signify merely a parti-

cular sub-district of the Malay Peninsula. The collections

presented to the British Museum by Mr. Bowring com-

prise several thousand specimens labelled “ Java.”

These were not collected by Mr. Bowring himself, but

formed part of an extensive collection purchased by him,

and said to have been collected in “Java and the adja-

cent islands,’—but chiefly in Java. It is to be remem-

bered also, that for the last hundred years, collections

have arrived in Hurope from Java, which did not neces-

sarily consist only of Javanese insects,—sometimes, on

the contrary, they have been entirely formed in other

islands. It follows that my own collections and those of

Dr. Horsfield are the only perfectly authentic materials

for the Entomology of Java, although I fully believe

that by far the larger part of the species imputed to that

island do really inhabit it, since it is unusually rich in

every department of Zoology. The specimens from the

of Malayan Cetonude. 525

Philippine Islands are no doubt mostly well determined.

A large number were collected by the late Hugh Cuming,

and as there is scarcely any direct communication be-

tween this part of the Archipelago and any other, the

collections are not likely to have been misappropriated.

I have prefixed to each genus a few words on its distri-

bution, and on any particulars of its habits known to

me; and have added tables exhibiting at one view the

distribution of the species, genera, and sub-families,

through the various islands, groups of islands, and regions

of the Archipelago.

is the type, may be held to include also the hornless

species, such as H. confusa, Westw., which have exactly

the same style of colouration. H. dives resembles Diceros

in its double horn, while in colour it approaches Cory-

phocera, which contains the green species with a small

flat horn or none. Diceros is a group very characteristic

of the Archipelago, in which all the horned species are

found. Coryphocera is more abundant in India and

Africa. Neither of them extends into the Moluccas,

New Guinea, or Australia.

This species seems very different from the Philippine

island males which appear to be identical with Hope’s

type (a female) of H. ornata from India. It is a striking

example of how much collections are still required from

the East, that during the twenty-five years that have

elapsed since Mr. Cuming returned from the Philippine

Islands, no males of this species have been received in

this country. This may probably be an extreme form of

H. ornata 2, from which it hardly differs except in the

form and size of the spots.

These forms, which vary much in size and colour, all

have the scutellum visible, the hind tibize with a distinct

notch forming a small tooth about one-third from the

apex, and the sternal spine curved from the base. The

surface is very glossy and smooth, either bronzy black,

purple black, or brassy green ; the thorax is punctured

or striated only at the sides, and the elytra are faintly

punctate and somewhat striate towards the sides, and

more deeply striate at the apex. JL. cupripes is a fine

variety of a rich brassy green, with the legs and the

shoulders and apex of the elytra bronzy purple. The

Penang specimens are smaller and glossy purple, but

offer no distinctive characters. The Hongkong specimens

are very fine and glossy, with the punctuation of the

elytra almost entirely wanting. Some of the small

Indian specimens, on the contrary, have the elytra very

much punctured, and there seems to be every form

between these extremes. The anterior tibiz are spined

as in L. agnv.

Schaum, Lacordaire, and Thomson adopt nigrita, Fro-

hich, as the name for this species. Frédlich however

quotes the name from Fabricius (Syst. Ent. p. 43), on

referring to which it is evident that he gave that name

to the black variety of Agestrata orichalea. Frolich’s

description is very detailed, and no doubt refers to this

species, but the name must drop, and Schénherr’s name

pulla be adopted. The description of pulla is good, and

refers undoubtedly to this species. JI have compared

the type specimen of [,, viridienea in the Oxford Museum,

and find that it must be referred here.

This species so closely resembles L. ceramensis that I was at first dis-

however has shown that there exist several slight but important structural

characters which distinguish it from that species, and Major Parry assures

me he obtained it from the late M. Mouhot’s collections from Cambodia.

It is however a curious example of such closely allied forms being so

widely separated geographically.

yellow colour covers two-thirds of the basal portion of

the elytra, and is quite immaculate ; in others faint in-

dications of black spots beneath the shoulders appear,

and these increase in magnitude till, at length, the whole

insect is jet black, with the exception of the few pale

transverse marks. I believe Burmeister’s 1’. histrio to

be the same species, and, as I cannot ascertain the exact

priority of publication, I adopt the name which is illus-

trated by a good figure.

Size and form of S. Whitei, but of a darker green colour ;

thorax immaculate, the yellow margin either quite absent

or only occupying a small space on each side; elytra

with a few markings on the margin or none, the sutural

line always interrupted below the scutellum; tibiw

blackish-green, tarsi black.

Length 10-113 lines.

Hab.—Bouru (Coll. Wall.).

Though the differences between this and 8S. Whitei are

small, yet the immaculate thorax, interrupted sutural

line, and black tarsi, appear constant in a very large

number of specimens, and seem to warrant their separa-

tion. Varieties occur of a bronzy-black, with purple

metallic reflections.

Gen. XI. Awnacamprorutna, Blanchard.

A very rare genus, and so faras is yet known, confined

to New Guinea. In the new species here described,

there occurs the sexual peculiarity, unsual in this family,

of the elytra of the female being distinctly punctate-

striate, while those of the male are quite smooth.

more distinctly punctured than in the male; pygidium

broad, compressed, transversely rugose-striate ; beneath,

with a few coarse scattered punctures, the sides of the

abdominal segments with large confluent punctures in

A pair only of this superb insect were obtained, with

the other species, on the extreme N.W. Peninsula of

New Guinea. They are fortunately of opposite sexes, and

enable me to point out the somewhat unusual sexual

characters, which are much more strongly marked than

in the other species.

As the colouring in this genus is known to vary so

distinct, although it looks very different. J can find no

other character to separate them, and a series of speci-

mens would probably show many intermediate forms.

first, and an apical spot; these are not unfrequently

all absent; the pygidium is generally bordered more or

less broadly, and on the undersurface the thorax, sternum,

and abdomen are spotted on the sides, all these spots and

markings being white or yellowish; the whole body be-

neath is rather densely covered with bristly points, and

the sternal process is short and very much dilated at

the end.

A variable species, closely allied to H. brunnipes and to

HE. fasciata, from Australia, but I think distinct; the

median band of spots is the most constant. In a variety

from Waigiou, the thorax and scutellum are orange-

rufous.

All the Malayan species belong to the Protetia group.

The fine large species from Celebes were obtained at the

sap of the sugar palm ; C. tacitwrna was found on fohage,

while C. mandarinea was taken eating twigs and leaves,

and on another occasion on posts of houses. This genus

is almost absent from the Australian region.

be a sexual difference, as they are otherwise very much

alike. This makes some approach to my genus Ster-

sternal process elongate, not dilated, abruptly divergent,

formed almost entirely of the metasternum, without a

suture; anterior tibize with only one small lateral tooth,

middle and hind tibize with a small marginal notch.

Type, Cetonia Schaumii, White.

Has the appearance of a Cetonia of the Protetia type,

but differs from these so remarkably as to require the

establishment ofa new genus. The species was taken on

foliage near Macassar, and at the sap of the sugar palm

in North Celebes.

Hab.—Macassar, Menado, Celebes (Coll. Wall.).

This fine species varies much, the ground colour being

rich green or deep black, and the red spots and bands

either very broad or almost obsolete, pale reddish yellow

or deep red. The figures above quoted represent two

widely different forms; that of Vollenhoven is badly

drawn, being much too wide behind.
