  subapical 
  spot

  Expanse

  Numerous 
  specimens 
  ; 
  all 
  males. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  has 
  come 
  in 
  hundreds 
  ; 
  at 
  first 
  I 
  got 
  one, 
  

   and 
  thought 
  it 
  a 
  curious 
  and 
  ver_y 
  large 
  form 
  of 
  TI. 
  hitea, 
  

   Cram., 
  but 
  I 
  have 
  now 
  many 
  examples. 
  They 
  are 
  very 
  

   uniform 
  in 
  character 
  and 
  size, 
  have 
  the 
  margin 
  of 
  hind 
  

   wings 
  much 
  more 
  sinuous, 
  the 
  colour 
  is 
  never 
  nebulous 
  

   above, 
  as 
  in 
  H. 
  lutea, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  undoubtedly 
  a 
  good 
  and 
  

   distinct 
  form. 
  I 
  have 
  also 
  received 
  many 
  examples 
  of 
  

   H. 
  lutea 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  locality.
