   third 
  brownish-black, 
  the 
  black 
  area 
  extending 
  rather 
  broadly 
  down 
  the

  to 
  a 
  little 
  above 
  the

  nervure, 
  whence 
  it 
  extends 
  broadly 
  along 
  

   the

  margin 
  to 
  one-half 
  the 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  base, 
  the

  of 
  the

  a 
  basal 
  patch 
  of 
  blue

  which 
  extend 
  partially 
  along 
  the 
  

   inner 
  margin 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  blue 
  streak 
  along 
  the 
  costal 
  nervure 
  to

  a 
  white 
  streak 
  along

  narrowly 
  black, 
  the 
  dark 
  costal 
  and

   area 
  is 
  centred 
  with 
  a 
  rather 
  broad

  band 
  of 
  blue, 
  

   centred 
  by 
  seven 
  oval 
  black 
  spots 
  between 
  the 
  veins, 
  a 
  white 
  band 
  crosses 
  the 
  

   wings 
  before 
  the 
  middle 
  and 
  extends 
  more 
  narrowly 
  along 
  the 
  costal 
  margin 
  

   towards 
  the 
  apex 
  ; 
  the 
  lower 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  white 
  band 
  is 
  densely 
  irrorated 
  with 
  blue 
  

   scales, 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  a

  Described 
  from 
  four 
  female 
  specimens, 
  the 
  male 
  remains 
  to 
  be 
  discovered. 
  The 
  female 
  on 
  

   the 
  upper 
  wings 
  resembles 
  T. 
  Wallacei, 
  Fold., 
  but 
  the 
  white 
  area 
  is 
  more 
  extended, 
  and 
  the 
  broad 
  

   basal 
  irroratiou 
  of 
  blue 
  scales 
  on 
  the 
  upperside 
  of 
  lioth 
  wings, 
  the 
  absence 
  of 
  the 
  basal 
  white 
  

   baud 
  on 
  the 
  upperside 
  of 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings, 
  the 
  much 
  wider 
  blue 
  area 
  ou 
  the 
  underside 
  of 
  

   those 
  wings, 
  and 
  the 
  black 
  cilia 
  of 
  both 
  wings

  that 
  species.
