Male. — Above, almost exactly the same as T. leptis, Feld. (^pau- 

 lina, Bd.) and T. indra, Moore, $\ the apex of the wings is, how- 

 ever, more produced, and the outer margin slightly concave, the 

 hind margin and the ends of the nervures are finely dusky. Be- 

 neath, the black band across the uppers is shaped nearly as in 

 T. leptis, but it has a sagittate white spot within it at the lower 

 part; there is a faint dusky patch at the base of the cell, and the 

 apex is amber-brown ; the lower wings are closely speckled with 

 dusky yellow-brown, across which are several darker waved or 

 zigzag bands. The spot on the disco-cellular nervule is whitish 

 and indistinct. 



Expanse of wings 2^"^ inches.

This species is very distinct from that with which it has been 

 confounded. It is much nearer the male of T, indra, but that 

 species differs slightly in form, and has a black disco-cellular spot 

 on the underside of the lower wings.

Male. — Above very like T. leptis, but the band on the uppers 

 is rather narrower and does not pass the first median nervule, 

 the white spots vary from two to four ; the hind wings have 

 only a trace of black at the outer angle, and a minute black mar- 

 ginal dot, sometimes obsolete, between each pair of nervules. Be- 

 neath, the upper wings are white, greenish at the base, and pale 

 ochre-brown at the apex, with the transverse black band much 

 narrower than in T. leptis, the lower wings are pale ochre-yellow,
