upper side in the female, the male being entirely grey- 

 blue, and the rosy shining brown of the under side in 

 both sexes. 



The male is T. Clementina, Felder, Eeise Nov. Lep., 

 ii., p. 162, n. 133, t. 25, fig. 6 (1865), with which figure 

 and description my specimen exactly agrees. 



There can be no doubt, after seeing these two insects 

 together, that they are the sexes of one species ; both 

 my specimens were captured at one time and in the 

 same locality (Cape York). 



It is possible that in another locality a different form 

 of the female may be produced, and Mr. Wallace's 

 surmised female still be correct, although I am inclined 

 to think it belongs to another species. 



The T. melania of Boisduval has been long satis- 

 factorily determined to be the female of T. Ega of the 

 same author ; this is one of our most common species, 

 and there is no doubt whatever of the correctness of 

 this conclusion.
