size ;is llic second, and the line of venular dots is much curved. The sul »- 

 apical patch broad, squarish. A marginal row of dark dots. Fringe a little 

 darker than the wing, and slightly checkered with white stripes. Hind wings 

 finely mottled with ochreous scales, not arranged in lines; discal dot distinct. 

 Beneath whitish, tinged decidedly with ochreous, and transversely strigated 

 with pale-brown on anterior wings, and more mottled than strigated on the 

 hind wings. Fringe more distinctly and broadly checkered than above, and 

 marginal row of spots more distinct than above. Legs yellowish, thickly 

 spotted with brown.

Not only by its white color, but by its obtuse fore wings and the want 

 of the three scallops in the outer edge of the hind wings, may this species be 

 readily distinguished from its imported European representative T. wavarhi.

2 c? and 2 9. — Uniformly sulphureous; palpi large, stout, porrect, reach- 

 ing far beyond the head ; concolorous with the head and rest of body. Male 

 antenna3 pectinated, thickly ringed with brown. Wings sulphur-yellow, with 

 three triangular costal brown spots, a large brown diseal dot, and a similar 

 spot on the outer third of the inner margin; a few transverse strigse, but no 

 lines as usually seen in this genus. On the hind wings, two rows of large 

 diffuse spots, both beyond the discal dot, the inner of which only reaches to 

 the middle of the wing, while the outer is more regular, following the line 

 of the outer edge of the wing. Fringe long, brown, on the hind wings inter- 

 rupted with ochreous; at base on both wings a marginal row of dark dots. 

 Beneath much more strigated than above. Veins very distinct, being deeper 

 ochreous than on the interspaces. 



Length of body, 0.38; of fore wing, 0.45; expanse of wings, 1.15 inches.
