apparently well-marked form, which passes by obvious and gradual steps into such an 
extreme as T. renana*. 
T. sylvia® is perhaps the most distinct of all, the wings being pointed and the outer 
band of the primaries beneath parallel to the outer margin; but the passage between 
this and the ordinary 7. andromeda seems quite complete. 
T. andromeda is a fairly abundant species everywhere throughout its range up to an 
elevation of 3000 or 4000 feet. 
c. Small species ; median band of secondaries beneath in a waved line directed either in 
a straight or in a curved line across the wing.

Mr. Butler described this species from a Cayenne specimen in our collection. It 
appears to be a distinct species having a wide range. It comes near T. valentina, 
differing chiefly from that species in having the central band of the secondaries curved 
instead of in an undulating line across the wing ; the bands too of the primaries beneath 
are broader, and the outer margin of the secondaries more dentate. We have only as 
yet seen four specimens from Central America; but these agree fairly with the Guiana 
type, due allowance being made for the variation found in members of this genus.

For several years two examples from Chuacus, from one of which Mr. Butler’s 
description of 7. zimri was taken, were all the Central-American specimens we possessed 
of this species. Mr. Champion has now sent us a good series, which prove 7. zimri to
