  Upperside 
  very 
  similar 
  to 
  T. 
  Erashis, 
  Hew., 
  but 
  the 
  male 
  is 
  of 
  a 
  deeper 
  

   yellow, 
  especially 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  ; 
  the 
  band 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  is 
  much 
  less 
  deeply 
  

   indented 
  with 
  the 
  ground-colour, 
  and 
  the 
  spots 
  of 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  are 
  either 
  

   separate 
  or 
  all 
  connected 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  ; 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  female, 
  which 
  is 
  paler, 
  the 
  

   band 
  is 
  entirely 
  connected, 
  except 
  that 
  the 
  spot 
  at 
  the 
  anal 
  angle 
  is 
  a 
  little 
  

   irregular.

  extends 
  over 
  most 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  

   in 
  the 
  male, 
  and 
  the 
  black 
  marginal 
  markings 
  of
