  IJppEESiDE 
  differs 
  from 
  T. 
  ApoUouius, 
  Fekl., 
  iu 
  the 
  following 
  

   respects 
  : 
  — 
  On 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  the 
  white 
  band 
  which 
  crosses 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  

   the 
  wings 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  margin 
  is 
  much 
  less 
  distinct, 
  being 
  irrorated 
  with 
  blue 
  

   scales, 
  in 
  this 
  respect 
  approaching 
  T. 
  Lampros, 
  Druce, 
  and 
  the 
  costal 
  and 
  outer- 
  

   marginal 
  black 
  bands 
  are 
  narrower 
  than 
  in 
  either 
  of 
  those 
  species. 
  On 
  the 
  

   posterior 
  wings 
  the 
  white 
  central 
  area 
  is 
  considerably 
  wider, 
  and 
  the 
  dark 
  outer 
  

   marginal 
  area 
  is 
  narrower 
  than 
  in 
  those 
  species. 
  

  

  Underside 
  with 
  the 
  white 
  areas 
  on 
  both 
  wings 
  much 
  more 
  extended, 
  the 
  

   black 
  outer-marginal 
  areas 
  being 
  correspondingly 
  narrower 
  ; 
  the 
  blue 
  sub- 
  

   marginal 
  bands 
  on 
  the 
  posterior 
  wings 
  are 
  also 
  narrower, 
  and 
  the 
  black 
  spots 
  in 
  

   them 
  are 
  smaller 
  and 
  rounder. 
  

  

  Female. 
  Upperside. 
  Both 
  wings 
  black 
  ; 
  anterior 
  wings 
  crossed 
  about 
  the 
  

   middle, 
  from 
  the 
  upper 
  discoidal 
  nervule 
  to 
  the 
  inner 
  margin, 
  by 
  an 
  irregular, 
  

   curved, 
  transverse 
  white 
  band 
  ; 
  the 
  apical 
  third 
  of 
  the 
  costal 
  and 
  outer 
  margins 
  

   is 
  rather 
  broadly 
  white. 
  Posterior 
  wings 
  crossed 
  a 
  little 
  before 
  the 
  middle 
  by 
  

   a 
  broader 
  white 
  band 
  than 
  in 
  T. 
  ApoUoiiias. 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  UNDERSIDE 
  the 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  wings 
  is 
  also 
  broadly 
  white, 
  and 
  

   the 
  white 
  central 
  band 
  extends 
  at 
  its 
  apex 
  to 
  the 
  subcostal 
  blue 
  band 
  ; 
  in 
  other 
  

   respects 
  the 
  underside 
  is 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  male. 
  Cilia 
  of

   The 
  female 
  approaches 
  that

  the 
  white 
  bands 
  on

   ■wings 
  are 
  very 
  much 
  broader.

  of 
  the 
  above-mentioned
