Notes. — This species is near T. vicaria, Wlk The discre- 

 pancies appear to be that in Walker's species the abdomen has tw^o 

 darker brown stripes, the femora have no black rings at their tips, 

 and the tarsi are brown. T. vicaria is described from the " East 

 Indies," not " East India " as given in Van der Wulp's catalogue. 

 Walker's " incomplete whitish band b}" the stigma " I presume 

 to represent m^^ " obliterative streak,"
