of the usual rectangular greyish -brown stripe, producing the appearance of a sub- 

 marginal series of seven inverted bell-shaped spots ; body black, with greenish-grey 

 hairs : wings, below, white ; the basal area broadly suffused with sulphur-yellow ; 

 the external border also yellowish, crossed by tapering longitudinal black stripes on 

 the veins ; outer margin narrowly black, fringe white ; primaries with the dis- 

 coidal and interno-median black spots as above ; a broad, oblique, reddish-orange, 

 sub-apical belt, in the centre of which is an abbreviated, oblique, dusky line, repre- 

 senting the narrow band of the upper surface ; secondaries with the basal half of 

 costal border, a streak on the interno-median interspace, the indistinct angulated. 

 discal stripe, and a black-dotted conspicuous spot at the end of the cell, bright cad- 

 mium yellow ; body, below, white. Expanse of wings, 56 mm. 



One fine example obtained.

The ordinary female is described by M. Boisduval ; but his speci- 

 men evidently had the external area of the secondaries somewhat more 

 suffused with blackish than in the example before me, since the an- 

 gulated discal stripe is said to be confounded with the outer border ; 

 this character, however, is liable to variation in other species of the 

 genus. 



The male and the albino-female fulfil Dr. Boisduval' s supposition 

 respecting the male, " nous soupconnons que le male doit avoir une 

 grande analogie avec celui de cette derniere espece" (Arethusa), since 

 they principally differ in their smaller size, smaller and better separated 

 black marginal spots, and in the paler coloration of the under-surface : 

 Cramer's figures of T. ehorea, £ (pi. 352, C. D.), would do very well 

 for the male of T. Ocale, if the apical band were vermillion-red instead 

 of carmine.

Eive females. 



The male of this species appears to be rare ; we now possess only 

 two, to nine females.
