T. arinia towards the anal ausjle ; the white submargiiial line also 

 narrower. Hind wing : the black streak rather longer, the black 

 subtnarginal band containing the metallic green lunules, which are 

 considerably smaller than in T. arinia, differently situated, the 

 inner edge commencing at the apex and running in a etraighter 

 though somewhat broken line to the anal margin, which it reaches 

 decidedly lower down. The shape ot" the wings is also different 

 from T. arinia, the apices of both beuig more produced and the 

 outer margins considt^rably straighter. 



A short, black, linear, white-tipped tail to the lower median 

 uervule. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen concolorous with wings ; legs black 

 and white ; antennae black above, spotted with white below. 



Expanse 1y\j- inch. 



Halj. Wetter I. ( TF. DjJiert;/, Mas. D.)\ {Hohj, Mas. Stnud.). 



This species, which is the local representative ot" T. arinia, is 

 distinguished by the form ot" the wings and by the difference in the 

 position of the band on the underside of the hind wings. 



Taken by Mr. Dohert}^ in May.

We have not seen this species, bat the position of the white 

 band on the underside of the hind wing and the broken border on 

 the outer margin of fore wing below seem to distinguish it from 

 the following species, T. pindus, to which it is closely allied, although 

 M. Oberthiir in his Lep. Ocean. (Ann. Mus. Gen. xv.) places two 

 other species between them.

The specimens before us from Batchian agree well with Dr. 

 Felder's figure. The male on the upperside is scarcely distinguish- 

 able from that sex of T. arinia.

Allied to the two preceding species, but has much narrower black 

 borders on th»' upperside, besides ditt'erenccvs b(,'lo\\ .
