Male. — As large as T. opakscens, but with the white central area on the 

 primaries larger, owing to the black border on the inner margin being more 

 restricted. The white area is more oval in shape and not so toothed as in 

 T. opahscens ; the apical patch has the violaceous brown gloss well pronounced and 

 is relieved by four ovate yellow streaks, not so bright in colour as in any of the species 

 before described. The white spot situated between the second and third median 

 nervules is very distinct. The secondaries do not differ from those of T. opalescens, 

 with the exception that the white basal area is much more extended towards the 

 costa than in the allied forms, so that the characteristic black marking is much more 

 limited in extent. 



Underside. — Similar to that of T. eris, with the three black post-median spots some- 

 what larger, and the ground-colour inclining to yellow; the secondaries pale yellow, 

 with a post-median row of dark spots from the costal margin to above the sub- 

 median nervure, as in the females of T. opalescens. Expanse 2*4 inches. {Spec. ex. 

 Con(/o ; Sahin-Godtnan Colt. ; Mus. Brit) 



Female. — The yellow form is allied to that of T. eris (Plate 9, fig. Id), but has 

 the brownish black marginal borders much reduced, especially on the inner margin, 

 this being faintly shown as in T. johnstoni (Plate 8, fig. If). There is no dark 

 sliading at the base ; the secondaries are of the same colour as the jJi'imaries, and 

 almost without any markings ; the nervules terminating in very faint spots, and the 

 discal band of brown being visible. 



Underside. — Similar to that of the male in markings, the ground-colour being 

 entirely sulphur-yellow. Expanse 2'2 inches. {Spec' ex. Ambriz ; J. J. Monteiro ; Mus. 

 Brit.)
