This handsome species is unfortunately unticketed, 

 but from a certain resemblance in the disposition of its 

 markings to T. lotor, it is probably from the Moluccas, 

 Mr. Wallace thinks from Cerara. It is not only very 

 distinct on accotmt of its peculiar opalescence, but it is 

 also remarkable on account of its scutellum, which is 

 perfectly straight at the base, and not received into an 

 emargination of the opposite part of the prothorax.
