All three /('(/(.((it's occur together, anil are connected by intergraduate specimens; 

 the two foiin-- which I have named here are of interest, as their characters point to 

 other species of Troldes.

A very constant species. The breast is covered iindenieath the wings with red 

 hairs. 



(i. The forewings have sometimes feeble, adnervular, whitish streaks above; 

 below, these streaks are much more prominent. The yellow spot in the cell of the 

 hindwings varies a little in size. The diseal spots gradually increase in length from 

 the second to the sixth spot ; the first is always mnch smaller than the second, being 

 often hardly a third of the size of the latter. The abdomen is black, with the hinder 

 edges of the third to eighth segments below yellow; this yellow edge is dilated in 

 the middle of the fifth to seventh segments. 



5 . Only one form is known, the forewings of which have a white patch at the 

 extremity of the cell, as in T. criton ?-ab. oberthi/ri mihi and in T. vUoiu/omacidalas 

 jJd'puemsis ?-ab. papuaims (Oberth.). The hindwings have often a small yellow spot 

 in the end of the cell; there are mostly four yellow diseal markings between the 

 u))per discoidal anrl the third median nervules ; they are connected along the veins 

 with the yellow submarginal spots, and thus the subdiscal black markings are sur- 

 rounded with yellow, or partly so; behind the lower median nervule there stands a 

 rather small bufhsh spot of variable size, and in some specimens there is also a minute 

 yellow spot in front of the upiier discoidal nervule. The abdomen is similar to that 

 of the c?, but the seventh segment has a yellow middle line.
