Allied to T. matutinata (PancetMa matutinata of AYalker), but 

 easily distinguished by its more rounded wings, thicker black bands, 

 and the absence of black spots on the discocellulars. 



Wings above bluish-grey, crossed in the centre by three parallel, irregular 

 (almost zigzag) , ti-ansverse blackish lines ; basal area whity-brown, centre of disc 

 white ; outer border pale brown, two longitudinal streaks of sandy-brown interrupting 

 the two outer of the three central lines on each wing ; primaries crossed by two 

 converging sub-basal interrupted black stripes ; five fusiform sub-apical black spots 

 parallel to the outer margin, and two more rounded spots near the external angle ; 

 a blackish sub-marginal spot opposite to the third of the sub-apical series, and a 

 second opposite to the first of the two spots near external angle ; secondaries with 

 three sub-apical fusiform black spots, and two rather smaller near the anal angle : 

 thorax bluish-grey, crossed by three black bars, abdomen ochreous : wings below 

 pale greenish-grey, irregularly and very broadly bordered with black at apex and 

 outer margins ; a large black discocellular spot, and a broad transverse postmedian 

 band subangulated on each wing ; primaries with a black streak through the disco- 

 cellular spot to inner margin j a diffused white spot on either side of the discal band
