tliat thej are shorter and that the fringe is tipped with 

 ochreous instead of white : body clothed with paler and 

 greener hairs. Wings below more clay-coloured, and with a 

 pink gloss; the primaries witli spots as above, the dark 

 discoidal area more restricted and not so black : secondaries 

 with tlie spots dark brown, the discal series interrupted, owing 

 to the absence of any spot on the lower radial interspace : 

 body below yellowish white ; legs pale reddish-clay-coloured. 

 Expanse of wings 35 millim. 

 One example. 



riewitson's figure of T. donnysa is not characteristic, the 

 spots on the primaries being smaller and less quadrate than 

 . usual, and the patch on the secondaries larger ; this patch is 

 usually confined to the radial interspaces, the median spots 

 being small and concealed by the olivaceous hairs which 

 clothe the basi-abdominal third of the wing.
