Description

Wallace originally described the species as follows:

Male. — Above, black, with a suborbicular yellow patch extending from near the costa of the upper wings to just below the cell of the lower wings, twice sinuated towards the apex of the uppers, elsewhere regularly curved. Beneath, yellow, with spots arranged as in T. tominia. Female. — Dusky black, with a small subovate yellow patch across the end of the cell of the upper wings. The lower wings with the inner margin yellow, extending in an ovate patch between the cell and the outer angle.[2]

gollark: I figure YouTube is bound to fail eventually since it's trying to handle too many conflicting demands from various sides and not handling any that well. But for now it sort of works.
gollark: You could probably use non-youtube video hosting, but it would be annoying and hard to monetize.
gollark: I would assume making the images out of them takes some work, unless there's a convenient script for that.
gollark: Do you just spend ages manually compiling these big collages of comemnts?
