" Iwashiro [Yesso], second week in July. Coll. M. Fcnton. 



" Allied to T. eretria of Hewitson." {Butler, I. c.) 



The male, which appears not to have been previously described, but is 

 figured by Pryer, I. c, is of a uniform silky white, with a faint opalescent 

 tinge, and a narrow black outer marginal line on all the wings, increasing in 

 width towards apex of primaries. Under surface as in the female. 



Pryer states that he met with this species at Nikko and Ontaki-san in July. 

 I took a female specimen myself at Tsuruga, on the west coast of Central 

 Japan, in July, and the male described above was taken in the Isle of Yesso, 

 Appears to be a vciy scarce species.
