Godart for considering this the female of T. evippe, Linnaeus ; it is, however, not improbable that it is only a variety of that species, inasmuch as it chiefly differs from it in the possession of a black dot at the end of the discoidal cell; it certainly is the female of the A. evippe of Boisduval; the female described by the latter author is not even nearly related to this species, but is probably identical with, or nearly allied to, T. gavisa. 97.
