Fruhstorfer regards this as the local race of T. 

 haquinus ; the two species — as I prefer to regard them — • 

 fly together, though zemara is much the rarer of the 

 two ; the females are quite different from each other, 

 the yellow apical fascia being a salient feature of 

 zemara $ , whilst the blue markings on the underside 

 are larger.
