middle, the fourth submarginal (pale on the anterior wing) : the outer margin and fringe

 the second and third bands. Posterior wing with a trifid band of orange at the base of 

 the tail.

 black spot in the cell, and is of a darker brown below. 



Exp. I5V inch. 



In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson, from Ecuador (Curaray) and Bolivia (Buckley). 



The single specimen brought from Ecuador by Mr. Buckley was so broken that I could not 

 be certain as to its sex, and supposing that it might be the male of T. JEthesa, to which it bears 

 strong resemblance, figured it as such. Mr. Buckley has since brought me several males from 

 Bolivia, which prove that it is a female and therefore quite distinct.
