The hind wing ventral medial line is zigzagged, what is undulated in "T. catadupa". Description - Male. Fore wing costal length from discal cell base to vein R

4 terminus 15.01 mm (holotype). Fore wing costal margin slightly convex, distal margin convex with pointed apex and rounded tornus, anal margin straight. Hind wing costal margin sligthly convex with rounded apex, distal margin sligthly convex with >3.5 mm tail at vein terminus CuA2, tornai lobe extensive with highest width 2.5 mm from vein CuA2, anal margin waved. Dorsal surface: Fore wing ground colour ultramarine blue; costal black, apex and distal margin with wide black margin, fringes reddish brown. Hind wing as fore wing except with intercellular androconial cluster, long gray tail at vein CuA2 terminus curved 90 degree at middle, large reddish brown tornai lobe and grey cell 3 A. Tail and tornai fringes black. Ventral surface: Fore wing ground colour reddish brown with whitish medial line in discal cell, whitish postmedial dash in cell R2 then a continuous line to vein CuA2, submarginal and marginal area somewhat lighter with faint postmedial and marginal lines extending from apex to tornus. Hind wing pattern complex with dark brown basal area, a zigzagged medial stripe and submarginal line, antemarginal area with dark reddish brown and orange spot in cell CuA2. Female. Similar to male, but with longer distal fore wing margin measuring to costa. Type material - Holotype: Male, specimen in perfect condition, set dorsally, will be deposited in the Museo de História Natural, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima (Peru), labeled as "PERU, Amazonas, Chachapoyas, Molinopampa-Granada, 12.08.2001, 3100 m, leg. B. Calderon, coll. M Bollino". Paratype female (no. 1 "allotype"), deposited in Zoological Museum, Jagiello University, Krakow (Poland): "Peru, Prov.

HNHM paratype male (no. 4): ditto, September 2002, 2800 m; paratype female (no. 5): ditto, 29.VIII.1998, 2300-2400 m, leg. T. Pyrcz (gen. Prep. no. 866). Naturhistorisches Museum, Wien: paratype female (no. 6): Peru, Pedro-Ruiz-Gallo, XII. 1990, coll. König (no. 511). Distribution - Geographical: known only from the NE Peruvian department Amazonas, in the type locality Molinopampa-Granada, plus Mendoza-Llanuayaco, and Pedro Ruiz Gallo. Spatial: the type material was collected between 2200 and 3100 m in the cloud forest ecotone. Temporal: known at present from August, September, December and January. Etymology - Patronym of Mr John Banks (London, UK), my maecenas and fatherly friend, ardent student of butterflies, who produced and published the first videofilm entirely dedicated to Peruvian butterflies (Banks 1996).
