TEBAGOLUS. 141 



This species may be distinguished from 7! ciiiini and 7'. eioue by the sulpliiir- 

 yellovv colour at the base of the underside of the primaries. On tlie upper surface 

 the bhick inner marginal line of the primaries is narrower, and is united to the twin 

 spots on the orange apical patch. lu the " intermediate '' and "dry " seasonal forms, 

 this black-marginal line is more or less obsolete. 



Male. — Central area of the primaries white ; the orange apical patch rather 

 small and very much toothed ; this patcli relieved on the hind-marginal side by 

 two black spots, situated on the third median and first radial nervules ; the costa 

 and hind margin black, as well as the line on the inner margin, which extends from 

 the base to a little beyond the centre of the wing. Secondaries white, the base and 

 costal margin brownish-black, the nervules terminating on the hind margin in large 

 blackish spots, divided by white streaks. 



Underside. — Central area of the primaries white; the base sulphur-yellow; the 

 apical area orange ; the apex and hind margin greenish-yellow ; tlie nervules tipped 

 witii black ; a minute black spot visible at the end of the cell ; the inner marginal 

 line fainter. Secondaries entirely creamy-white ; the nervules terminating on the hind 

 margin in black spots ; the usual orange costal streak and discoidal spot clearly indicated. 



Expanse 17 inches {Spec. ex. Cape of Good Hope ; Drue c Coll.; Godman-Salvin 

 Coll.; Mus. Brit. ; Form of T. phle(/etoiiia}j 



Female. — Upper half of wing creamy-white ; the base and inner margin brownish- 

 black ; the orange apical area broader and divided by a distinct line of brownish- 

 black, wliich joins the dark colour on the inner margin ; the costa, apex and hind 

 margin brownisli-black, with a large white spot visible near the posterior angle, 

 the usual black spot visible at the end of the cell. Secondaries with the central 

 area creamy-white, the broad brownish-black hind-marginal border relieved by 

 creamy-white spots varying in size ; the base and costal margin brownish- 

 black. 



Under>iide. — The apical area orange, traversed by a thin dusky line ; the apex and 

 hind margin sandy-butT; a white line from the costa to the posterior angle covering 

 the central area of the wing ; the extreme base sulphur-yellow ; a greyish-black line 

 indicated along the inner margin. Secondaries entirely sandy-buft", somewhat darker 

 on the basal area ; the transvei'se band on the discal area indicated by a reddish spot 

 on the costal margin, and a second and larger spot over the median nervules; on 

 the hind margin the nervules terminating in minute black dots. 



Expanse 1'6 inches. {Spec. ex. Natal; Mus. Rof/isc/titd ; Form of T. plilcgcloiiia) 



A second form of the "wet-season" phase T. vnvans= T. conif/er has all the 

 black spots and markings on both wings less strongly marked ; the orange apical 

 patch also smaller.
