and below it a broad olive-green band as far as the rhinarium, which 

 like all the moutb-parts, is yellow. 



Pronotum bronzed, very thickly clothed with whitish hair, 

 abdomen broadly black in the middle, first segment dull yellow above, 

 the other segments with a narrow orange stripe on -each side widely 

 interrupted with brown before the end of each segment. Underside 

 of pronotum and abdomen mostly yellow. Legs brown, fore femora 

 yellow beneath. 



Wings clear hyaline, except the smoky brown subhyaline costal 

 space. 7-6 antenodal and 7-8 postnodal crossnervures on fore wing; 

 4 antenodals and 7 postnodals on hind wing. Fore wing with broad 

 traversed triangle, 3 cells in subtriangular space, a subtriangular 

 nervule on left side. Triangle followed by 3, then 2 rows of cells not 

 increasing. Hind wing with triangle free, followed by 2 rows of cells 

 rapidly increasing; sectors rising just below the middle of the 

 arculus, distinctly separated. 



Wing colors: Broad subhyaline brown bar extending along the 

 whole costal and subcostal areas of all the wings as far as, and 

 including the cell. The lower basal cell, the upper more faintly, and 

 the space above the upper sector of the arculus to the level of the 

 nodus, the space above the triangle, and even the triangle itself on 

 the hind wings, are less deeply stained with smoky brown. 



Appendages straight, black, 4.5 mm. long. 



There is only one specimen (a female) and Abbott's figure, 

 to which Hagen refers, is also a female. We have no T. spini- 

 gera, except the female which Selys refers to T. spinosa. I believe 

 the male is not known at all, and that Selys' reference to it simply 

 relates to Abbott's figure, which I think represents a female. —

The foregoing description was sent to me by Mr. Kirby from 

 the type in the British Museum at my request. 



From Selys' descriptions I had assumed that the species might 

 be none other than cards, or, at best, an aberration of the latter 

 species, and I so wrote Mr. Kirby.
