THE A COL us. 43 



Female. — General colour pinkish-white with very broad apical and hind-raarginal 

 borders of black, not dentated on the inner aspect, this black apical border relieved 

 by a post-median row ol' six ovate spots of white sprinkled with crimson, the second, 

 third and fourth being the largest, the first, fifth and sixth being nearly obsolete ; 

 near the posterior angle the usual white spot well defined, and the basal 

 area grey. Secondaries pinkish-white, the black border heavily marked, while a 

 blackish line corresponding to the transverse band of the underside is strongly 

 indicated. 



Underside. — Central area of the primaries pinkish-white, the post-median row of 

 black spots, as well as the spots at the end of the sub-median nervure and the first 

 median nervule being strongly marked ; the apical area and hind-margin to as far as 

 the second median nervule reddish-buft", with very fine vermiculations of brown. 

 Secondaries entirely reddisli-buft', lighter in colour towards the base, the ground 

 colour plentifully sprinkled with brown wavy lines, while a violaceous shading is 

 visible near the hind-margin ; the transverse band and hind-marginal border dark 

 brown. Expanse 2*5 inches. {Spec. ex. Sabaki Valley; Br. J. W. Gregory; Miis. 

 Brit. ; type of T. foliaceus, Butler.) 



Another form of this " wet-season " female differs only in its sulphur-yellow 

 ground-colour, the apical and posterior spots being of the latter colour. The under- 

 side is rather more reddish in colour, but otherwise does not differ as regards the 

 markings. Expanse 2-5 inches. {Spec. ex. Rabai Hills; Jackson Coll.) 



"Dry-season " form of the male. — Differs in having the dark lines of the veins 

 on both wings less pronounced, the black discoidal spot on the primaries being 

 mailer. Secondaries with the black nervular spots on the hind-margin nearly or 

 quite obsolete. 



Underside. — The apical area of the primaries and the ground-colour of the 

 secondaries pale sandy-pink, while, with the exception of the very faint transverse line 

 on the latter, there are no other visible markings. Expanse 2'8 inches. [Sjjec, ex, 

 Mombasa; Salvin-Godman Coll.; Miis, Brit.). 



" Dry-season " form of the female. — Central area of the primaries creamy-white, 

 the black marginal border narrower, especially towards the posterior angle, and not 

 dentated on the inner edge ; only two white spots with just a suggestion of crimson 

 visible, the others being nearly obsolete. Secondaries scarcely differing from those of 

 T. ptiniceus, the grey at the base of both wings being more strongly marked. 



Underside. — Altogether brighter fulvous, the apex and hind-margin on the 

 primaries being more reddish-buff as far as the first median nervule ; the other mark- 

 ings similar to those of the females of the " wet-season " phase. Secondaries with a 

 violaceous shading on the hind-margin, the extreme edge being outlined with reddish-
