o 
mealy. — argyrospila Walk. (2 c), from Hong Kong (and probably also occurring in other districts of South argyrospila. 
China), has a white frontal spot and commonly there is a similar spot on the patagia. — semihyalina KolL semihyalina. 
(= atkinsoni Moore, glaucopoides Walk.) (vol. II, 2 a), originally described from Kashmir, is widely distributed 
in North India. Spots on Irons and patagia yellow or red; in ah. humeralis Walk, these spots are reddish humeralis. 
and the vitreous spots small. 
T. australis spec. nov. (2d), c f: similar to T. semihyalina. Frons and a spot on the mesosterum australis. 
pale red, margin of the mesoscutellum and the tergites of the 4. and 5. abdominal segments yellow, a spot 
laterally at the base of the abdomen white. Vitreous spots as in semihyalina , small in the forewing, the one 
in the cell cut off straight towards the base, 2 vitreous patches behind the 2. median. Costal margin of 
the hindwing black, with a small pale yellow spot at the end of the cell, 3 vitreous patches on the disc, 
placed nearer to the margin than in T. semihyalina, separated from the tripartite basal patch. The two 
prongs of the 10. abdominal segment (cf) obtuse, not spine-like as in T. semihyalina , the clasper-like side- 
part of the 8. segment truncate, its ventral margin somewhat thickened, slightly separated from the rest of 
this false clasper and not produced into a point provided with spines, as is the case in T. semihyalina; 
penis-sheath with large triangular tooth before the tip. — Merkara, South India. 
T. taprobanes Walk. (2d). Similar to the preceding species, but forewing without vitreous patch at the taprobanes. 
base and hindwing entirely black-blue. Abdomen blue, breast red. — Larva purple-brown, posteriorly spotted with 
yellow at the sides. Pupa pale brown-yellow, in a yellowish white cocoon. Food-plant: Lagerstroemia. — Ceylon. 
T. javanica Snell. (2 c, d). Spots on the frons and patagia red. all the abdominal segments ringed javanica. 
with yellow, with the exception of the last. Hindwing in the cf with large vitreous patch behind the cell, which 
reaches from the base to the disc; in the ¥ without this patch, yellow, with black hinder and distal margins. — 
Larva on the leaves of Terminalia, Anacardium, Spondias, Mangifera, Eugenia and Rosa: the male larvae much 
smaller than the female; ground-colour red-brown or dark greenish olive-colour; the posterior part of the 
sides, as well as the underside, reddish or yellow. Pupa yellow-brown; cocoon milky white. — Java: Batavia. 
T. elliptica spec. nor. ?: wings more rounded than in T. semihyalina, antenna and body dark blue; elliptica. 
a lateral spot, on the mesostenum red. The first 5 abdominal segments laterally or also above edged with 
yellow. Wings black, the forewing above and beneath, the hindwing beneath rather strongly glossy blue- 
green; forewing with 1 or 2 vitreous spots near the base, a large spot in the apex of the cell and a row 
of vitreous spots around it; onty 4 subcostal veins present. Hindwing with a vitreous spot near the base and 
a second on the disc. Alor; Sambawa; Sumba. — In elliptica the forewing has a small glassy streak near 
the base, a large cell-patch and a row of 6 discal spots (3 and 3), as well as indications of 2 further spots. 
Hindwing with indistinct vitreous patch at the base and 3 or 4 glassy spots suffused with black on the disc; 
anteriorly in the end of the cell a dirty yellow oblong streak. Abdominal segments 1 — 5 laterally and 
above edged with yellow. Found by Evehett on Alor in October; 1 $ in the Tring Museum. — sambawana sambawana. 
subsp. nov. Vitreous spots as in the following form, but the discal row of the forewing interrupted as in the 
preceding form. Abdomen as in elliptica. Sambawa, in September; 1 ¥ in the British Museum. — sumbana sumbana. 
subsp. nor. (2d). Abdomen only laterally edged with yellow. Frons and base of the collar red like the. 
spot on the breast, vitreous patches much larger than in the Alor form. Forewing with 2 vitreous streaks 
near the base and a non-interrupted row of discal spots. Costal margin of the hindwing pale yellow from 
the base nearly to the apex; the basal vitreous patch very large, reaching to the 2. median, a streak in the 
cell likewise transparent. Wings more elongated than in the other two forms, 1. radial of the hindwing 
present. Sumba, in December. 
T. flavalis Hamps. (2d). Frons, collar, 3 spots on the thorax and broad abdominal rings yellow, flavalis. 
Forewing yellow, the veins and margins black, a large vitreous spot in and distally to the cell. Hindwing 
yellow, distal margin narrowly black, posteriorly widened to a spot. — Burma; 1 ¥ in the Genoa Museum. 
The following 5 species have black wings with yellow spots. Some small veinlets usually run from the 
costa of the forewing to the margin, as in Cyclosia, Doeleopsis, and others. 
T. producens Walk. (= festinata Snell.) (2d). Frons, collar, breast, margins of the abdominal seg- producens. 
ments and the spots of the wings yellow. In the forewing a spot at the base, following this in succession 
towards the margin 2, 2 or 3, I; the single spot situated distally to the dtscocellulars sometimes divided. 
Hindwing triangular, with yellow area at the hindmargin and at the end of the cell. On the under surface 
the yellow markings more or less contiguous. Forewing with 5 subcostals, 2. and 3. radials from the 
cell. — Nias, Sumatra and Borneo. Probably there are several local forms. 
T. dissimilis Snell. (2d), from Java, resembles the preceding species, but the forewing has 4 yellow spots dissimilis. 
distally to the cell, 1 before and 3 below its apex. — Larva on Cinnamomum, very similar to that of T. javanica. 
T. deligata spree, nor. (2e). cd?: purple-black, head, breast, a lateral spot on the thorax and the deligata. 
bases (not the margins) of the abdominal segments yellow. Forewing with 2 large longitudinal spots near
