  Exp. 
  A 
  little 
  over 
  an 
  inch. 
  

  

  Male. 
  Upperside 
  tawny 
  yellow, 
  with 
  broad 
  blackish 
  borders. 
  Anterior 
  

   wings 
  with 
  the 
  border 
  much 
  broader 
  at 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  costa 
  is 
  likewise 
  broadly 
  

   blackish, 
  sending 
  down 
  two 
  short 
  points 
  into 
  the 
  cell 
  ; 
  a 
  third 
  at 
  its 
  extremity, 
  

   and 
  a 
  much 
  larger 
  one 
  beyond 
  ; 
  this 
  last 
  extends 
  to 
  the 
  middle 
  median 
  nervule, 
  

   and 
  beyond 
  it, 
  the 
  tawny 
  ground-colour 
  extends 
  to 
  the 
  costa, 
  where 
  it 
  ends 
  in 
  a 
  

   tawny 
  spot 
  forming 
  the 
  last 
  of 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  four 
  running 
  from 
  the 
  base, 
  of 
  which 
  

   the 
  first 
  is 
  the 
  smallest, 
  and 
  the 
  second 
  has 
  an 
  additional 
  one 
  below 
  it. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  the 
  tawny 
  markings 
  much 
  redder 
  than 
  

   above, 
  except 
  towards 
  the 
  inner 
  margin. 
  The 
  broad 
  brown 
  band 
  visible 
  beyond 
  

   the 
  cell 
  above, 
  here 
  curves 
  romid 
  to 
  the 
  base 
  below 
  the 
  cell, 
  the 
  cell 
  itself 
  being 
  

   crossed 
  by 
  four 
  broad 
  red 
  bands, 
  the 
  two 
  last 
  converging 
  below, 
  and 
  with 
  some 
  

   irregular 
  tawny 
  markings 
  both 
  above 
  and 
  below 
  them 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  row 
  of 
  

   tawny 
  spots, 
  larger 
  than 
  above, 
  along 
  the 
  costa 
  ; 
  the 
  black 
  border 
  is 
  very 
  

   incomplete, 
  except 
  towards 
  the 
  apex, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  divided 
  by 
  a 
  double 
  row 
  of 
  

   irregulai" 
  tawny 
  blotches 
  ; 
  and 
  the 
  hind 
  margin 
  is 
  narrowly 
  black. 
  Hind 
  wings 
  

   blackish, 
  crossed 
  by 
  about 
  seven 
  irregular 
  reddish 
  macular 
  bands.

  Closely 
  allied 
  to 
  T. 
  Hildegarda, 
  Kirby 
  {antea, 
  vol. 
  i., 
  p. 
  16, 
  pi. 
  iv., 
  figs. 
  7, 
  8), 
  from 
  Angola, 
  

   and 
  is 
  probably 
  the 
  East 
  African 
  representative 
  of 
  that 
  species. 
  The 
  difference 
  in 
  the 
  shade 
  of 
  

   ground-colour, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  details 
  of 
  the 
  markings 
  will 
  be 
  best 
  seen 
  on 
  a 
  comparison 
  of 
  the 
  figures.
