  Mah'. 
  Upperside 
  much 
  hkc 
  T. 
  llcyalis, 
  but 
  of 
  a 
  rather 
  lighter 
  blue, 
  with 
  

   the 
  borders 
  narrower, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  more 
  sharply 
  defined. 
  On 
  

   the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  a 
  faint 
  trace 
  of 
  the 
  white 
  portion 
  of 
  the 
  underside 
  is 
  visible 
  ; 
  

   in 
  7\ 
  Jieijalis 
  this 
  is 
  hardly 
  perceptible. 
  

  

  Underside 
  with 
  the 
  same 
  pattern 
  as 
  T. 
  licfiali-'i, 
  but 
  anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  the 
  

   whole 
  of 
  the 
  lower 
  and 
  outer 
  portion 
  white, 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  and 
  

   beyond, 
  below 
  the 
  discoidal 
  nervule, 
  in 
  one 
  direction, 
  and 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  narrow 
  

   black 
  border 
  on 
  the 
  other. 
  The 
  blue 
  subcostal 
  band 
  is 
  l)roader 
  and 
  more 
  

   uniform 
  in 
  breadth 
  than 
  in 
  71 
  Bcijalis, 
  when 
  it 
  narrows 
  and 
  curves 
  round 
  to 
  

   between 
  the 
  two 
  upper 
  median 
  nervules, 
  where 
  it 
  reaches 
  the 
  white 
  portion 
  of 
  

   the 
  wing 
  and 
  ceases. 
  Below 
  this 
  point 
  the 
  black 
  border 
  becomes 
  linear. 
  

   Within 
  it, 
  towards 
  the 
  hinder 
  angle 
  of 
  the 
  wing, 
  is 
  a 
  black 
  patch, 
  not 
  extending 
  

   to 
  the 
  inner 
  margin. 
  Posterior 
  wings 
  as 
  in 
  T. 
  Eegalis, 
  but 
  the 
  white 
  band 
  is 
  

   extended 
  along 
  the 
  costa 
  to 
  the 
  tip. 
  Space 
  beyond 
  the 
  ocellated 
  spots 
  less 
  black 
  

   than 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  wing. 
  

  

  Body-markings 
  nearly 
  as 
  in 
  T. 
  Hivinlit;. 
  The 
  pectus 
  is 
  tufted, 
  and 
  the 
  legs 
  

   streaked 
  with 
  whitish.

  Upperside 
  brownish 
  black. 
  Anterior 
  wings 
  with 
  a 
  large 
  white 
  space, 
  

   commencing 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  extending 
  along 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  for 
  two-fifths 
  of 
  

   its 
  length 
  ; 
  upwards 
  over 
  the 
  outer 
  and 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  and 
  beyond, 
  and 
  

   outwards 
  for 
  three-quarters 
  of 
  the 
  length 
  of 
  the 
  wing. 
  Posterior 
  wings 
  with 
  

   the 
  basal 
  area 
  white, 
  stained 
  inwardly 
  and 
  outwardly 
  with 
  bluish, 
  the 
  white 
  

   colouring 
  extending 
  narrowly 
  along 
  the 
  iinier 
  margin 
  towards 
  the 
  anal 
  angle 
  ; 
  

   fringes 
  narrowly 
  white. 
  

  

  Underside 
  and 
  body-markings 
  nearly 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  male 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  

   wings 
  the 
  blue 
  band 
  is 
  somewhat 
  narrower 
  on 
  its 
  basal 
  portion, 
  and 
  the 
  black 
  

   patch 
  towards 
  the 
  liinder 
  angle 
  is 
  wanting. 
  The 
  thorax

  the
