Male.— Differs from T. Calais in having the black spots at the end of the discoidal 

 cell and above the sub-median nervure much smaller ; the hind margin and apical 

 portion of the primaries is more of a brownish black tint. The greater portion of the 

 primaries is salmon-buff, with a row of four spots of the same colour from the costa to 

 the third median nervule, which relieves the apical patch, between the second and first 

 median nervules. These spots are much smaller in some specimens than in others, 

 whilst they are occasionally obsolete. The costa and the base are grey, suH'used 

 with salmon-buff. Secondaries similar to those of T. calais. 



Under.^icle.—Ref^emh\es that of 1\ calais, with the exception that the black markings 

 on the primaries are much reduced in size. Expanse I'S inch. 



Female. — Yellow like the male, but differing from the same sex of T. calais in 

 having the two black spots on the primaries smaller than in that species. A white 

 form of the female frequently occurs, which is T. cyprcea, Fabricius, as pointed out by
