Habitat : Kyoto (March, April, and October, '14), three male and two 

 female specimens, Mr. A. Nohira coll.

Kusakimura, Prov. Harima (Descember, 'oS) ; a single male specimen,

Remark : This species is closely allied to TV. unita Banks of Queens- 

 land, but is distinguishable from it by size, shape of wings, wing-markings, 

 etc. 



Judging from the fact that the adults were captured in late autumn as 

 well as in early spring, this species probably hibernates in the adult 

 condition.
