Hob. Panama, Tole {Champion), Calobre, Veraguas (Arce), near the city of Panama 

 (J. J. Walker).— Colombia ; Venezuela 1 2 3 . 



This species was described from specimens from Venezuela, whence we have several 

 examples, including a female, typical of T. theona of Felder. It is no doubt allied to 

 T. hoisduvaliana, but the secondaries, instead of being yellow, are nearly white, with 

 the exception of the dark border and an orange patch near the apex. 



T. gratiosa just enters our fauna in the State of Panama, where it occurs as far as 

 Tole. A male specimen from Chiriqui, submitted to us by Dr. Staudinger, has a 

 narrow black border to the secondaries, and thus almost exactly resembles T. arbela 

 of Hubner. ! - 



The females of this species from Colombia and the State of Panama have the 

 primaries nearly wholly white, whereas in the typical insect from Venezuela they are 

 pale yellow.

The difficulty as regards the sexes in this genus has involved this species in some- 

 what the same confusion as prevails in T. mexicana and T. hogotana, for the male of 

 this species was originally supposed to represent that sex of T. hogotana, an error 

 Dr. Felder discovered and corrected by describing the present species under the name 

 of T. gaugamela. Compared with T. xanthochlora the secondaries are more angular,
