a second form the spots are merged together with tlir l>hu'k outer margin, and their 

 exterior limits are indicated by minute, adnervniar, yellow spots. Tlie yellow patch 

 of the hindwings is sometimes much paler below than above ; it consists of six to 

 seven discal and a cellular spot ; the latter is in Dr. Staudinger's specimen twice the 

 size of that in one of my own individuals, reaching in the former beyond the origin 

 of the subcostal nervule ; the first discal spot, standing in front of the subcostal vein, 

 is small and often absent. 



The hindwings are rather strongly indented in both sexes. The marginal spots 

 of the female are large. The abdomen is similar in pattern to that of T. rieddi 

 (Kir-scb).

 (?. The yellow spot of the cell to the hindwings is longest anteriorly, being 

 limited basally in the direction of the lower median nervule ; in T. of/longo- 

 maculntus (Goeze) the spot is cut off in the direction of the subcostal nervule ; the 

 first, postcostal mark of the hindwings is mostly the largest of all the discal spots; 

 there is no yellow mark behind the lower median nervule. 



J. The yellow spot in the cell of the hindwings is mo.stly small, and basally cut 

 off either transversely or in the direction of the lower median nervule; Ix'hind the 

 lower median nervule there is either no spot, or a very small one ; the subdiscal black 

 spots are small and joined to the black border of the wings, but are apjiarcnily never 

 completelv merged together with the marginal band, as is so often the case in T- 

 oblonf/omacidatus papuensis (Wall.). The underside of the aluldiiicii is black, with 

 the hinder edges of the segments yellow ; the yellow edge of the eightli scLiiiient i-; 

 broad and dilated in the middle.
