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: You can skim the GCSE content specifications, they aren't *that* long. Although I'm mostly being ironic, as you can clearly tell due to the very contrived wordplay.

gollark: I'm not not saying that.

gollark: It's also also called "re"vision because you have to "re"think who to trust about what you have to cover.

gollark: It's also called "revision" because you "re"ally have to look hard to get "re"levant material to revise and also to guess what you need.
