 white. Palpi black, white at the base. Thorax with two ochraceous 

 partly black-bordered humeral spots. Anterior legs mostly black. 

 Fore wings with an ochraceous-red black-borderedfstripe, which pro- 

 ceeds from the base of the costa, emits at half its length a fork to 

 the interior angle, and extends to the middle of the exterior border, 

 whence it is retracted to the costa at three-fourths of the length of 

 the latter ; an ochraceous black-pointed stripe along the interior 

 border ; fringe ochraceous ; under side with a black subapical patch, 

 which is connected with an ochraceous costal line. Hind wings 

 with a black undulating submarginal band, which is dilated at the 

 tips, where it is ochraceous on the under side. Length of the body 

 8 lines ; of the wings 22 lines. 



This species is very nearly allied to T. elara, but in the latter 

 the ochraceous stripe does not proceed from the base of the wing 

 but from one-third of the length.
