Male: Plate 3, figures 11, lib. Head with scales behind eyes and 

 outer face of palpus white, very rarely pale yellowish. Wings above 

 quite similar to T. microdice fueguensis, new subspecies, with dark 

 markings usually larger, more distinct. Below similar to T. m. 

 -fueguensis with gray stripes along veins usually slightly broader and 

 with white spot over lower discocellular vein larger and with larger 

 wing expanse than in that subspecies. 



Length of forewing, 21-27 mm. (average, 24.1 mm.). 



Female: Plate 3, figures Ua, lie. Head with scales behind eyes 

 and outer face of palpus white, very rarely pale yellowish. Wings 

 above with ground color usually white, sometimes pale yellowish 

 white, particularly on the hindwing. Dark markings much more ex- 

 tensive than in the male. Veins, especially on the hindwing, are white 

 entirely outlined along both sides with dark brown or black. Wings 

 above similar to the male, ground color slightly darker yellow. Differ- 

 ing from T. microdice fueguensis particularly in the paler yellow ground 

 color of wings above and on base and disc of forewing below and in the 

 large white spot on the lower discocellular vein on underside of hind- 

 wing. Differing from all the subspecies in having veins on the upper- 

 surfaces white.
