wings light red, their apex and the lower wings pale reddish- 

 ochre ; a transverse irregular band beyond the end of the cell 

 blackish, the outer border and a submarginal band on the lower 

 winjrs dusky. 



Wings rather elongated, their expanse 3-g inches, 



//«&.— Bouru (Coll. Wall.). 



This insect may not improbably be the female of T. zar'inda, 

 some species of birds being common to Celebes and Bouru ; but 

 as it is quite as likely to be a distinct species I have thought it 

 better to describe and name it. The specimen is unique in my 

 collection.

" Near mclania, Fab.," Feld. The figure in the Novara Voy- 

 age shows the female form of anal extremity, and it seems to me 

 to be allied to T. celestma 2. If, however, it be, as Dr. Felder 

 says, a male, then I cannot help thinking that T. asteroj^e is the 

 female of it, and that it serves to connect the celestina group with 

 T, nephele,

" Near T. zamhoanga ; above, like T. margarita, Hiibn." (Feld,). 

 Very like T. celestina $, to which it may be allied.

 Allied to T. ithome, which both sexes resemble.
