This species is very closely allied to T. Genena, but differs from it chiefly in the different 

 form of the inner baud on the imderside of the posterior wing, which in this species is slightly 

 out of a straight line between the scarlet spot and the inner margin, whilst in T. Genena it 

 forms a semicircle.
