median segment mixed with dark fuscous on basal half above, with 

 some minute dark fuscous specks elsewhere; terminal segment over 1/2. 

 Thorax white sprinkled with dark brown, especially along outer edges 

 of tegulae, anterior edge dark brown, sometimes a dark brown spot 

 below center, collar light ochreous. Abdomen white, posterior edges 

 of segments strongly mLxed with fuscous, basal tergite pale grey, 

 third tergite shining golden yellow mixed with dull light fuscous, anal 

 tuft light ochreous, venter light ochreous with a fuscous median 

 streak. 



Forewing elongate-truncate, long and narrow, dilated, broadest at 

 termen; veins 3 and 4, and vein 9 separate. Costa almost straight 

 throughout, gently concave in middle, apex rounded, termen little 

 rounded, slightly oblique. White, costa as far as upper edge of cell 

 irregularly suffused with dark brown, this color extending toward 

 base to fold, but interrupted by white irregular suffusion between 

 veins above cell; all veins on lower 2/3 of disc marked by series of 

 dark brown scales; a dark brown streak along closing vein; dark 

 brown scales rather regularly scattered over dorsal part of wing; 

 rather broad transverse and inwardly oblique subterminal fascia of 

 dark fuscous suffusion, more or less interrupted between veins, from 

 costa before apex; another such fascia, from the same point of costa, 

 but gradually diverging with the first, curved outwards, below run- 

 ning along termen, formed by a series of more or less interconnected 

 round spots; posterior fourth or third of costa, apex, and termen 

 beyond preceding fascia tawny ochreous. Cilia with basal third white, 

 edged by a dark brown interrupted band, cilia beyond this band 

 dull light, fuscous brownish. 



Hindwing glossy pale greyish bronze, slightly infuscated along edge. 

 Cilia concolorous with a narrow whitish base, which is edged by a 

 broadly interrupted dark brown line. 



Male genitalia similar to those of Thymiatris melitacma Meyrick 

 from Assam, but differing as follows. Anellus tube wider but hardly 

 half as long as in that species. Hook of the harpe thicker and more 

 curved towards apex. Sclerotized processus basalis (articulations of 

 the legs of vinculum) larger. Valva broader, cucullus more rounded, 

 costa being distinctly more convex. 



Material examined: Luzon, Mt. Makiling (Baker), 1 d^, holotype, 

 genit. slide 5156; 8 cf paratypes, from the same locality. 9 cf (USNM). 

 Closely related to T. melitacma Meyrick, from Assam.
