  Male. 
  Upperside 
  resembles 
  T. 
  Hi/mdus, 
  Feld., 
  but 
  rather 
  darker 
  violaceous, 
  

   with 
  the 
  black 
  marginal 
  band 
  on 
  both 
  wings 
  wider 
  than 
  in 
  that 
  species, 
  but 
  

   narrower 
  than 
  in 
  T. 
  Piepersi, 
  Snell. 
  

  

  Underside. 
  Both 
  wings 
  with 
  much 
  broader 
  marginal 
  black 
  bands 
  than 
  in 
  

   either 
  of 
  those 
  species. 
  On 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  the 
  greenish-blue 
  subcostal 
  

   band 
  extends 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  to 
  beyond 
  the 
  middle. 
  On 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  

   the 
  black 
  lunules 
  in 
  the 
  submarginal 
  blue 
  band 
  are 
  broader 
  and 
  indented 
  on 
  

   their 
  outer 
  edges 
  instead 
  of 
  being 
  straight, 
  as 
  in 
  T. 
  Hijmetus 
  ; 
  the 
  basal 
  black 
  

   bar 
  is 
  broader, 
  and 
  margined 
  with 
  blue 
  only 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  and 
  along 
  the 
  costa 
  for 
  

   a 
  short 
  distance. 
  

  

  Female. 
  Upperside 
  differs 
  from 
  that 
  sex 
  of 
  T. 
  Hijmctus 
  and 
  T. 
  Fiepersi 
  in 
  

   the 
  ])ale 
  area 
  being 
  much 
  more 
  restricted, 
  not 
  extending 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  

   wings 
  beyond 
  the 
  lower 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  being 
  

   only 
  faintly 
  represented 
  by 
  a 
  rather 
  pale 
  space 
  crossing 
  the 
  wings 
  before 
  the 
  

   middle. 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  underside 
  the 
  pale 
  area 
  is 
  represented 
  by 
  a 
  rather 
  broad 
  white 
  band, 
  

   which, 
  however, 
  is 
  very 
  much 
  narrower 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  female 
  s 
  of 
  either 
  T. 
  Hijmetm 
  

   or 
  T. 
  Piepersi. 
  

  

  Hab. 
  Batchian, 
  Ternate, 
  and 
  Halmaheira. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  Collections 
  of 
  the 
  Hon. 
  W. 
  Rothschild 
  and 
  H. 
  Grose 
  Smith. 
  

  

  The 
  wings 
  are 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  shape 
  as 
  iu 
  T. 
  Pie2'ersi, 
  and 
  rather 
  more 
  elongate 
  than 
  in 
  

   T. 
  Hymetus. 
  

  

  The 
  specimens 
  figured 
  were 
  taken 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Doherty 
  in 
  Batchian 
  iu 
  March, 
  18y2.
