beyond it; outer line from a brown costal mark excurved to vein 4, with a black bar on it beyond the cell, 
bent inwards below the cell and black and lunulate to inner margin; the area beyond it redbrown with purple 
suffusion on postmedian area except towards costa, and some ochreous white on terminal area; subterminal 
line ochreous white, with redbrown marks on each side; black terminal dots; fringe yellowish white with 
brown patches above middle and at tornus; hindwing ochreous white, suffused along termen with redbrown; 
the fringe ochreous white; $ with head, thorax, and forewing much yellower; the forewing with the markings 
of the yellow area greenish; the orbicular a dark dot; the reniform oval; the dark patches of fringe blackish. 
Aldabra in the Indian Ocean. 
T. hieroglyphica Lower (27 b). Forewing creamy white, the terminal area reddish brown suffused 
with purplish grey, the white area extending on costa to near apex, its outer edge bent inwards at vein 6 to 
the reniform and below the cell to the median line; double grey brown subbasal spots on costa and in cell; a 
streak above base of inner line grey brown, excurved below costa, then oblique, preceded by a brown mark 
above inner margin; orbicular stigma a small round brown spot; reniform small, oval, brown defined by black 
scales; brown median and postmedian spots on costa; outer line rising at vein 6 from the extremity of the 
white area, lunulate, strongly incurved below vein 4; subterminal line of white marks from costa to vein 3, 
then bent inwards, strong and oblique to tornus; terminal black dots defined by white on inner side; fringe 
brown, with white patches below apex and at middle; hindwing yellow, with a small brown cell spot; terminal 
area broadly brown, its inner edge bent inwards below end of cell; fringe brown, with the tips yellowish white; 
in the $ the fore wing has a broad inner brown band connected with the median spot on costa, the postmedian 
spot being usually connected with the brown terminal area; in the ab. connexa ah. nov. (= ab. 1 Limps.) the inner 
band is joined to the brown terminal area by a streak along the median nervure. Occurs in North, South, 
and West Australia. 
T. clerana Lower (27 a). $ Forewing creamy white; the terminal area reddish brown with purplish 
white suffusion on postmeclian area except towards costa; the white extending on costa to near apex, at vein 6 
bent inwards to the reniform, and below the cell to median hue; a dark brown costal subbasal spot; inner 
line sinuous, hardly visible, from a dark brown spot on costa; orbicular stigma a minute grey dot; reniform 
small, oval, grey defined by brown scales; dark brown median and outer spots on costa; outer line black, lunu¬ 
late, much interrupted, incurved below vein 4 and angled outwards on vein 1; subterminal line white from a 
white costal striga, then obsolescent, twice excurved and running obliquely outwards to tornus; terminal black 
dots inwardly marked with white; fringe brown with white patches below apex and at middle; hindwing 
yellow, the terminal half suffused with reddish, brown; a brown cellspot; in the $ the inner line of forewing 
is distinct except at inner margin, oblique below the cell. N. Australia, Queensland, New South Wales. 
T. elaeoa Hmps. (27 c). Forewing olive green slightly irrorated with black; inner marginal area and 
termen with some whitish suffusion; a small blackish subbasal striga in cell; inner line pale, very faint, rising 
from the point of an oblique wedge shaped costal patch; a triangular yellowish white median patch on costa; 
outer line from a small yellowish white costal spot, below vein 6 formed of diffuse blackish marks, incurved 
below vein 4; outer, area tinged with purplish grey except towards costa; subterminal line faint, yellowish 
white, of the usual shape; black terminal dots; fringe yellowish white, with dark patches at middle and above 
tornus, and black at apex and tornus; hindwing ochreous white suffused with red brown, the termen darker. 
Townsville, Queensland; described from a $ only. The $ is much darker, being suffused with deep olive 
green, leaving the white costal triangular blotches conspicuous; in the ab. flavipallida ab. nov. (27 c) the dark 
shadings are all olive brown or olive yellow and the pale areas much amplified, the yellow of the underside 
showing through, especially on the hindwings. 
T. xuthosoma Trnr. (25 1). Forewing white, the costal edge black brown; subbasal line black brown, 
diffuse; inner and median lines black brown, irregular, outwardly angled in cell and becoming confluent at 
inner margin, with blackish irroratxon between them; outer line excurved below costa and at middle, then 
oblique, terminating on submedian fold; subterminal line preceded by a broad black brown band, strongly 
outbent between veins 7 and 6 and excurved at middle; terminal spots black brown; apical area and 
fringe ochreous; hindwing ochreous white, suffused with black brown. Queensland and N. Australia; ($<§ only. 
T. neurota Lower (27 c). Forewing whitish yellow; a blood red subbasal costal striga; some red suf¬ 
fusion below base of cell; inner line red, oblique and waved, swollen outwardly into a large patch at middle, 
conjoined on median nervure to a large discoidal patch; outer line somewhat dentate, outbent below costa, 
excurved to vein 4, then incurved and confluent with the discoidal patch; subterminal line strongly dentate,
