bordered with white below, and between that and the dorsal rays

Size, color, and upper side markings of T. iris and T. arsace. 



Under side rather clear russety brown ; the discoidal cellule of 

 the primaries has two black transverse streaks, and beyond the 

 middle a black sinuous ray edged with white, followed by a row of 

 black sagittate spots, uniting in a curved wavy line, separated 

 from the fringe by small grayish spaces. The secondaries are 

 traversed by two tortuous black rays, of which the one towards the 

 base is edged with white within and the other with white without, 

 and connecting with the ray of the primaries. Between these two 

 rays there is a black streak, and the outer one is followed by an 

 angular black ray, of which the posterior concavity is filled by a 

 pale tint, which separates it from a marginal purple line, more or 

 less mingling near the fringe, with an ashy tint. 



Larva green, pubescent, with three longitudinal rays on the 

 back, the middle one pale yellow, the other two white. Near the 

 feet, usually a small marginal white line. Head brown. Feeds 

 on Pinus. 



Chrysalis grayish, with four rows of small spots, of which the 

 two middle ones are blackish and indistinct, and the others ferru- 

 ginous.

11. T. smilacis Boisd. Figured in Boisd. et Lee. pi. 33, p. 107. 

 Upper side blackish-brown, with a pale whitish spot near the 



middle of the costal edge ; the secondaries have two thin tails, as 

 in the analogous species. 



Under side greenish, often washed with a little reddish, with a 

 transverse whitish ray sinuous on the primaries, tortuous on the 

 secondaries, bordered in front by a ferruginous tint; Between this 

 ray and the base, the secondaries have another short transverse 

 sinuous ray of the same color. The extremity is marked by two 

 or three ashy crescents, of which the intermediary is black in front,
