  nar- 
  

   rowly 
  black 
  ; 
  the

  margin 
  more 
  broadly, 
  and

  greyish-brown, 
  darkest 
  at 
  the

  where 
  a 
  

   metallic-green 
  stripe 
  runs 
  above 
  the 
  costal 
  nervure 
  ; 
  the 
  cell 
  and 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  

   the

  greyish-brown, 
  the

  narrowly 
  white, 
  a 
  broad 
  metallic 
  

   golden-green 
  subcostal 
  band 
  at

  and 
  an 
  oblique 
  band 
  beyond, 
  white 
  on 
  

   its 
  upper, 
  and 
  metallic 
  golden-green 
  on 
  its

  The 
  submarginal 
  black 
  

   spots 
  are 
  situate 
  in 
  a 
  broad 
  metallic 
  golden-green 
  band, 
  outwardly 
  convex 
  

   between

  veins, 
  the 
  black

  Allied 
  to 
  T. 
  Cepheis, 
  Druce, 
  but 
  the 
  male 
  is 
  larger, 
  with 
  broader 
  and 
  more 
  rounded 
  wings, 
  

   and 
  the 
  outer 
  margins 
  more 
  broadly 
  black; 
  on 
  the 
  undersurface 
  the 
  metallic 
  colouring 
  ismore 
  

   golden 
  and 
  extended. 
  In 
  the 
  female 
  the 
  pale 
  area 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  is 
  narrower 
  than 
  in 
  

   that 
  species, 
  and 
  does 
  not 
  extend 
  so 
  far 
  towards 
  the 
  outer 
  margin.
