rli?cocellular veiiilets, and the median nervine fioui tlie apex of tlie cell as far as tin- 

 lower median branch, are always narrowlj' bordered with black ; the black patch at 

 the anal angle extends often down to the base of the wing; sometimes it includes a 

 hook-like yellowish green spot, jdaced at the hinder side of the lower median nervule. 



The length of the I'orewing varies in my specimens from 70 to 9.5 mm. 



J. The C( II of the forewings is nearly always devoid of a while mark; the 

 number and size of the discal white markings are exceedingly variable. The four tear- 

 shaped markings of the hindwings almost reach the cell, but stand much farther from 

 the outer margin than in the other subspecies of T. prlainm; the discal [lart of the 

 first of these markings, standing between the discoidal nervules, is sometimes 

 obliterated, as are very often the adnervular whitish lines connecting the discal parts 

 with the submarginal parts of the markings. 



Jlclow, the two anterior submarginal spot.^ of the hindwings are more or less 

 tinged with yellow, and so are sometimes the submarginal portions of the tear-shaped 

 markings ; many specimens ha\e a small posteostal spot situated inside the large 

 submarginal one, and connected with the latter along the costal nervure ; the second 

 submarginal spot is .sometimes prolonged along the subcostal vein towards the base ; 

 this prolongation does not extend to the cell. The cellule between the lower median 

 and the submedian veins is mostly unicolorous, except that it is browner at the base 

 than towards the outer margin, but in a few individuals there is a small yellow or 

 whitish yellow spot near the anal angle.
