139.  Pieris scyllara (n.s.) P. alis integerrimis albis limbo exteriori utrinque nigro:  anticis elongato-trigonis maculis apicalibus quatuor albis.

Obs.  This species comes very near to P. lyncida of Godart.  Its wings are white above.  The upper ones have their costa blackish, and a triangular border at their extremity rather dentated on the inside.  On this black border is a transverse row of four or five white spots, unequal in size.  The lower wings have also a black border with one white spot, and which is simply crenated on the inside.  The underside of the four wings scarcely differs from the upper, except that the black borders above mentioned are in general more pale, and those of the lower wings are broader than on the upper side.

P. Eudora.  Godart, Enc.  Meth.  Hist.  Nat. 9 152. 117 ?

Obs.  On an inspection of the original Pieris nysa of Fab., in the Banksian cabinet, I find it to be the same with the P. eudora of Donovan, the only difference being that the under wings are less cinereous on the upper side, and the upper wings have more white at the extremity of the yellow spots at the base of their undersides.  These minute differences appear to be sexual.  At all events this is undoubtedly the P. eudora of Donovan, in his Insects of New Holland.  M. Godart, however, most erroneously quotes another work of Donovan, namely, The Insects of India, and gives an erroneous description, apparently from confounding some Indian insect with the insect described by Donovan.  Godart has also erroneously altered the Fabrician description of P. nysa, and thus added to the multitude of proofs which his laborious work affords, that the continental entomologists have no means of undertaking a complete description of species, without visiting the extensive collections of London.

Obs.  As Godart here again cites Donovan’s work on the Insects of India, instead of his Insects of New Holland, I am inclined to think that he never saw those works.

144.  Pieris herla (n.s.) P. alis rotundatis integerrimis flavis, anticis apice fuscis, posticis margine nigro-sublineatis subtus testaceis atomis griseis aspersis.

Obs.  This insect is larger than P. smilax, but resembles it extremely in its upper side.  The underside, however, is different, as the extremity of the upper wings and the whole of the under wings are of a fawn colour.  The underside of the lower wings is also sprinkled with some grey atoms, and marked obscurely with a fuscous band under two points.
