Two closely aUied species are involved in this case and it will be convenient to refer to these species at this stage as Species "' A '" and Species " B " respectively. 2. The first of the species concerned (species " A "') is Papilio sinapis Linnaeus, 1758 [Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 468). This is the species known in England as the " Wood White "' and in Germany as the " Lichtwald-Weissling " or " Senfweisshng ". It is the type species by monotypy of the genus Leptidea Billberg, 1820 (Enum. Ins. Mus. Billberg. : 76). 3. The first author subsequent to Linnaeus, whose treatment of the above species (species '' A "') we have to consider, is Jacob Hiibner. In all, Hiibner dealt with this species three times in his Sammlung europdischer Schm^tterlinge. The references are as follows :— (a) O
