Two forms (probably seasonal varieties) occur in Malacca, tbe one witb dark bands 

 below, the other with pale bands ; in the female of the dark form the subapical yellowish 

 patch on the upper surface of primaries is more distinct. I have seen three examples in 

 Mr. Distant' s collection from Penang. It occurs in August and September.

 This species differs from the male of T. aliris from Borneo in having the band of 

 primaries above half the width, not notched, and yellower in tint ; the basal area of all 

 the wings ferruginous. Below, the area beyond the band is not striated, and is of the 

 same rusty red colour as the broad outer border, the latter is also paler at the edge, and 

 is cut much shorter by the obliquity of the transverse band ; the basal spots are rusty 

 red instead of red-brown and black ; the irregular band of secondaries is paler and much 

 more constricted in the centre ; the external and discal areas are altogether paler and 

 more uniform in tint ; the ocelli are considerably smaller and paler ; the spots between
