The shape of this species is that of zoraide in fig. 539, but the average size is smaller. There is 
not the slightest tiaee of any dot or streak beneath. The sexmark of the male consists of a closely set 
pad of salmon coloured scales below the median vein of forewing beneath, and a similar but smaller 
patch between vein 8 and the subcostal of hindwing above.

This species is separated by the acute apex of the forewing and the straight dark streaks of hind- 
wing beneath.

c?. Above. Forewing yellow; costa narrowly and apex broadly^, brown-black: termen broadly to vein 
and thence narrowly to vein la, brown-black: a faint dot on discocellulars, brown. .Hindwing

Bexe^til Forewing pale yellow: costa and apex suffused pinkish: sometimes a dot on discocellu- 
lars, brown. Hmdwmg yellow often suffused pinkish: a series of faint basal dots, biwn: outer area 
with two straight narrow^ streaks, brown. 
2. Above as in male, but slightly paler: apex of Inndwing broadly brown-black: terminal dark

Beneath. Foiwing yellow; costa and apex sometimes suffused i^inkisli: rarely a dot on disco¬

suffused with a delicate rose colour: a series of basal dots, brown; outer area Avitli a series of curved 
discal slVeaks, brown.

Easily recognised by the curved dark strealcs of the hindAving beneath. The sexmarks of the male 
are very similar to those of sana and lineata. 
Ye have carefully examined the type of T. immaculata Aliskin, in the Queensland Aluseum, from 
Kockhampton, and find that it is an example of herla Avith the dark markings beneath absent.
