Tliis Indian species is nearly allied to the African 7'. aiicvo, but is at once dis- 

 tinguished by the white ground-colour of the wings, in place of the sulphur-yellow 

 whicli is the prevailing colour in T. aiixo and its allies. 



M.\LE. " Wkt-season " FORM. — Central area of the primaries white, the orange 

 apical patch somewhat narrow and enclosed on its inner margin by a pale yellow 

 line, suffused with black, which broadens considerably towards the posterior angle ; 

 the apex broadly edged with black, becoming gradually more narrow towards the 

 centre of the hind-margin ; base of wing thickly dusted with grey. Secondaries. 

 Entirely white, the nervules terminating in brownish black spots on the hind- 

 margin. 



Underside. — Primaries white, the apical area yellowish, crossed by a distinct 

 greenish-brown or olive band, the nervules on the apical margin terminating in 

 brownish spots ; a slight greenish-brown band traversing the discal area, this band 

 being broadest on the costal margin ; and with the usual dusky spot visible at the 

 end of the cell. 



Expanse 1-6 inches. {Spec, ex Coonoor , Nilyiris ; W. R. Davison; J. Davidson; 

 Godman. — Sahin Coll.; Mus. Brit.). 



Female. — Primaries whitish, the apical area brownish-black, extending to about 

 the middle of the costal margin ; the posterior angle slightly edged with brownish- 

 black ; the dark apical patch crossed by lour hastate marks of orange, forming a 

 band ; the inner edge of the apical patch irregularly out-lined with pale yellow; base 

 of wing grey with a distinct brownish spot at the end of the cell, and a second and 

 somewhat larger spot visible about the middle of the inner-margin above the sub- 

 median nervule. Secondaries. Ground-colour whitish, the brownish nervular spots 

 somewhat large on the hind-margin, and with a browiiisli mark also visible on the 

 costal margin.
