c? . Upperside : rich deep sulphur-yellow. Fore wing : elongate 

 and narrower than in T. silhetana ; apex and termen with a 

 narrow, black, inwardly dentate band that broadens slightly on the 

 apex and is continued as a slender line along 

 the costal margin to the base of the wing, 

 close to which it becomes somewhat diffuse 

 and dusky. Hind wing: nearly uniform 

 throughout, the terminal margin with indica- 

 tions of a slender black anticiliary line, which 

 in most specimens is reduced to a series of 

 minute black dots at the ends of the veins. 

 Underside: ground-colour similar; markings 

 very similar to those in the wet-season 

 specimens of T. silhetana. Antennae, head, 

 thorax and abdomen as in T. silhetana. 

 5 . Ground - colour and markings on 



both upper and under sides as in the tf, with the exception 

 of the black band on the upperside of the fore wing, which in 

 some specimens is slightly broader. Antennas, head, thorax and 

 abdomen, and in the <5 the sex-mark, as in the c? of T. silhetana.

c? . Fore wing : costa very slightly arched ; apex obtuse,

 upper absent, middle and lower moderately to strongly concave ; 

 vein 6 from upper apex of cell or from a little beyond ; vein 8 

 absent ; 9 from a little beyond the middle of 7; 10 and 11 free, 

 emitted moderately close together from apical half of subcostal vein, 

 or the space between them at base equal to the space between base
