A beautiful and rare species, allied to T, belladonna.

Female. — Above, pale yellow ; the marginal black band broader 

 than in the male and well defined, a row of spots between it and 

 the cell, and a large patch at the end of the cell sometimes con- 

 nected with the border. Beneath nearly as in the male. 



i/rti.— Australia (Coll. Wall., B. M.). 



It is difficult to locate this common Australian species. The 

 form of its wings and the black under surface of the Iiind wings, 

 with the basal yellow and red spot, seem to indicate an affinity to 

 T. belladonna.

The colour of the males varies from white to rich cream-colour, 

 and even to orange-yellow, and of the females from cream-colour 

 to ochre-yellow. My Java sj^ecimens show these differences.

 Boisduval thinks this is near T. belisama. The absence of the 

 red spot beneath is however very remarkable, and it may perhaps 

 be more allied to T. agostina, I have not seen a specimen, nor is 

 it in the Leyden Museum.
