  Upperside 
  resembles 
  T. 
  WaUacei, 
  Felcl., 
  but 
  the 
  wings 
  are 
  brighter 
  

   blue, 
  and 
  the 
  central 
  irroration 
  of 
  white 
  scales 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  is 
  less 
  

   conspicuous 
  ; 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  the 
  white 
  band 
  before 
  the 
  middle 
  is 
  

   narrower. 
  

  

  Underside 
  differs 
  little 
  from 
  T. 
  WaUacci, 
  but 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  the 
  

   costal 
  and 
  apical 
  black 
  area 
  is 
  narrower, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the

  baud 
  on 
  the 
  

   posterior

  Both 
  wings 
  darker 
  brown 
  than 
  in 
  T. 
  Wallaeei, 
  being 
  

   nearly 
  black 
  : 
  on 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  the 
  dark 
  costal 
  band 
  is 
  bounded 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  

   by 
  the 
  median 
  nervure, 
  while 
  in 
  T. 
  WaUacei 
  it 
  extends 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  broadly 
  to 
  the 
  

   inner 
  margin. 
  On 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  the 
  white 
  subbasal 
  area 
  is 
  considerably 
  

   less 
  extended. 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  underside 
  of 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  the 
  subbasal 
  white 
  band 
  is 
  narrower, 
  

   the 
  outer 
  black 
  area 
  being 
  broader 
  ; 
  the 
  submarginal 
  blue 
  band 
  is 
  wider 
  and 
  the 
  

   black 
  spots 
  in 
  it 
  are 
  more 
  elongate 
  ; 
  the 
  cilia 
  on 
  both 
  wings 
  are 
  less 
  conspicuously 
  

   white, 
  and 
  narrowly 
  crossed 
  by 
  black 
  at 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the
