164 Mr. W. F. Kiiby on Lejjidoptera 



wings strongly arched. Fore wings sky-blue, costa and hind 

 margin bordered with black, fringes white, spotted with black 

 at the ends of the nervures, a comparatively narrow white 

 band, divided by the nervures, running from the inner margin 

 to above the median nervure. Hind wings pale blue at the 

 base, followed by a white band continuous with that on the 

 fore wings ; the outer half of the wing is black, the upper 

 portion being filled up with blue from the white band nearly 

 to the hind margin. Fringes white, spotted with black on 

 the nervures. 



Underside black, sometimes paler towards the margins ; 

 the wliite bands on the wings as above, but more sharply 

 defined on tlie fore wings and continuous, a blue stripe 

 divided by the nervures intersects the dark costal portion of 

 the wing and curves downwards on the hind margin, 

 where it is more macular, as far as the lowest branch of 

 the median nervure ; on the hind wings the black basal part 

 is intersected by an oblique blue stripe, and there is another 

 along the basal part of the inner margin ; on the wide black 

 border is a row of large oval black spots surrounded with 

 blue. 



Head white, a spot between the antennae (which are black, 

 spotted with white beneath) and hinder orbits pale blue ; a 

 black stripe runs from tlie frontal blue spot to the palpi, 

 which a]"e black beneath and at the tips ; thorax black or 

 brown, clothed above with shaggy white hair ; legs black, 

 tarsi narrowly spotted with white ; abdomen black above, 

 ringed with blue, and more or less blue towards the base j 

 beneath white. 



Female. — Blackish brown, with a white band, as in the 

 male, but that on the fore wings is wider, better defined, and 

 divided by tlie branches of the median nervure ; that on the 

 hind wings is narrower, so that the black border covers two 

 thirds of the wing. Tlie hind m.argin of the fore wings is 

 more convex than in the male. The under surface differs 

 little, but the blue submarginal band on the fore wings 

 descends nearly to the submedian nervure. 



Six males and one female taken at Normunby on Oct. 30, 

 1888. 



Size of T. seha', Westw., but the male more resembles T. 

 danis, Cram., in its markings and the female has the fore 

 wings more convex and the hind wings more widely bordered 

 with black. The under surface in both sexes is of a less 

 greenish blue.
