  the 
  costal 
  area 
  has 
  a 
  pale 
  lihic 
  patcli 
  at 
  the 
  hase, 
  bordered 
  inside 
  with 
  black 
  ; 
  

   and 
  there 
  are 
  some 
  blue 
  scales 
  on 
  the 
  lower 
  side 
  of 
  tlie 
  black 
  bar 
  near 
  the 
  base. 
  

   Otherwise 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  are 
  coloured 
  as 
  in 
  tlio 
  female,

  the

  Female. 
  Upperside 
  closely 
  resembles 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  sex 
  of 
  T. 
  Cijaiica, 
  

   Cramer, 
  but 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  the 
  white 
  area 
  is 
  less 
  sharply 
  angulatcd 
  at 
  its 
  

   apex, 
  and 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  is 
  rather 
  more 
  broadly 
  greyish-black 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  

   posterior 
  wings 
  along 
  the 
  costal 
  margin 
  is 
  a 
  broad 
  greyish-black 
  band, 
  which 
  

   extends 
  from 
  the 
  base 
  two-thirds 
  along 
  the 
  wings 
  towards 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  blue 
  

   band 
  of 
  lunules 
  across 
  the 
  disc 
  towards 
  the 
  outer 
  margin 
  is 
  broader 
  and 
  brighter. 
  

   On 
  both 
  wings 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  are 
  patches 
  of 
  pale 
  blue 
  scales. 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  UNDERSIDE 
  the 
  double 
  white 
  lines, 
  which 
  intersect 
  the 
  greyish- 
  

   black 
  outer-marginal 
  band 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings, 
  are 
  less 
  distinct, 
  especially 
  

   the 
  outer 
  line, 
  and 
  they 
  do 
  not 
  extend 
  so 
  far 
  towards 
  the 
  apex. 
  On 
  the 
  

   posterior 
  wings 
  the 
  dark 
  band 
  along 
  the 
  costa 
  is, 
  as 
  on 
  the 
  upperside, 
  broader 
  

   and 
  longer 
  than 
  in 
  T. 
  Cijanca 
  ; 
  the 
  dark 
  outer-marginal 
  band 
  is 
  broader, 
  and 
  the 
  

   black 
  spots 
  in 
  the 
  row 
  of 
  blue 
  ocelli 
  before 
  the 
  margin 
  are 
  smaller.
