Allied closely to T. Omijhale^ (Godt.), Var. A. 
$ White, luith orange-red of apical patch hroad, hut narrowly bordered 
ivith hlctckish, especially on its inner edge. Forc-ioing : base blackish, 
the suffasiou chiefly inferior, usually extending for a little distance 
inner-marginally ; rarely a narrow, somewhat diffused, blackish, inner- 
marginal stripe to beyond middle ; no terminal disco-cellular dot ; 
apical red considerally wider in its upper part than Omphale's^ the ner- 
vules crossing it only hlack near the hlachish borders, — the inner horder 
very much narrower than in Omphale, sometimes diffused^ and occasionally 
ohsolescent, except in its middle. Hind-wing : base narrowly or very 
narrowly suffused with blackish ; in those examples which possess an 
inner-marginal stripe in fore-wing, a more or less imperfect similar 
costal stripe ; hind-marginal nervular black spots small or very small, 
— most developed in the blackish-striped examples. Under side. — 
Very closely resembling that of Omphale, Var. A., hut in hind-wing 
the creamy -p)in'kish tinge is sometimes very faint or wanting, ivkile the 
irroration and minute striolation with dushy-hrown is much stronger, 
especially along costa and over loiucr half of discoidal cell. 
$ Apical orange paler, hut often hrighter and usually broader than 
in $ Ouiphale, Var. A., — the nervules crossing it scarcely ever black beyond 
the short external indentations, — its inner black edging usucdly well de- 
veloped, but ending abruptly about third median nervule, leaving broad 
termination of orange band in contact luith the white field on and below 
second median ncrvide. Fore-iuing : no terminal disco-cellular dot ; 
inner-marginal blackish stripe very variable in development, but never 
nearly so broad as in Omphale, Var. A., and often very narrow and 1 
sub-obsolescent except at base and extremity. Hind-wing : costal \ 
blackish usually faint and diffused except at base and extremity; ji 
discal ray interrupted widely below costal commencement, — its lower 
portion not more developed than in $ Omphale, Var. A., — usually | 
narrow, and frequently obsolescent (rarely quite obsolete) below point 
of angulation on radial nervule ; hind-marginal spots always small or 
of moderate size, and (except rarely the three upper ones) quite sepa- 
rate. Under side. — As in but fore-wing with a dusky indication 
of both dark inner border of apical patch and inner-marginal stripe, 
and hind-wing with closer and darker striolation, and usually more 
strongly marked discal ray. 
Aberration. — $ Apical patch of fore-wing bright golden-yellow ; 
its inner black edging strongly developed ; inner-marginal stripe 
slightly developed.
