 Boisd. et Lee. pi. 28. 



Probably a variety of T. favonius. Upper side blackish-brown, 

 uniform in the female, a more obscure tint in the disk of the male, 

 forming a sort of indistinct spot. 



The secondaries have two tails, of which the internal is the 

 longer. They are preceded by one or two fulvous crescents, sup- 

 ported by a black spot, separated from the fringe by a pale bluish- 

 gray ray. The edge of the anal spatule is also a little bordered 

 with fulvous. 



The under side of the wings is ash-gray. The primaries are 

 traversed in their posterior half by two rather wavy rays, of which 

 the anterior one is white, bordered with reddish-brown, and the 

 other brown, feebly lined with whitish. 



The secondaries are traversed by two white rays, shaded with 

 brown before. The anterior one is angular towards the anal angle, 

 and the other is interrupted between the two tails by a fulvous 

 spot, marked with black behind. The anal spatule is more widely 

 fulvous than above, >and between this and the other fulvous spot 

 there is a space of pale blue. Besides these, the four wings have 

 at the origin of the fringe a small brownish line more or less appa- 

 rent, arid the costal edge is a little marked with fulvous at its 

 origin. 



Body like the wings ; lower side of the head and the extremity 

 of the abdomen of the female a little fulvous. Antennce blackish, 

 with white rings ; club tipped with reddish. Breast and under 

 side of abdomen white. 



Larva above reddish, with three brown rays, of which one is on 

 the back. Lower side of abdomen, head and feet, green. Feeds 

 on Hypericum. 



Chrysalis yellowish, with the rings of the abdomen a little violet, 

 marked with four rows of black points. 



Southern States. Expands a little over an inch.
