the collar dark brown, punctuated on the 

 median line by "ravish scales: the inner 

 edges of the patagia blackish ; the middle of 

 the thorax hoary marked by three narrow 

 parallel dark brown lines ; upper side of thorax 

 rosy-brown ; the palpi and pectus and under 

 side of the thorax and abdomen dark sooty- 

 brown with a narrow black line upon the 

 ventral line of the abdomen. Legs are con- 

 colorous, with the tarsi grayish. The prim- 

 aries on the upper side are rosy-brown, 

 shading into yellowish at the base and are 

 traversed by four nearly parallel curved brown 

 lines, which run from before the apex to the 

 middle of the inner margin. The outer 

 margin is evenly bordered with a dark 

 brown shade. The subcostal nervules appear 

 distinctly upon the darker ground of the wing, 

 being pale yellowish. The pattern of mark- 

 ing strongly recalls that of many species of 

 Choerocampa. The secondaries are uni- 

 formly rosy-brown, shading into yellowish 

 at the costa near the base. On the under 

 side, both wings are dark rosy-brown, 

 shading intoyellowish upon the inner margin 

 of the primaries. The bands of the upper 

 surface faintly reappear upon the lower side. 

 Expanse, 60 mm. 



167. T. livida, sp. nov. $ . Body slaty- 

 gray, or mouse color, shading into blackish at 

 the anal extremity of the abdomen. The pata- 

 gia are black, margined with mouse color. 

 The costa and the inner margin of the prim- 

 aries on the upper side are broadly pale mouse 

 color. From the base at its middle there 

 arises a black shade, which widens outwardly 

 and extends from the apex to the outer angle, 

 being darkest at the base. It is traversed by 

 a dark black line running from the end of 

 the cell to its lower margin and by a similar 

 line running from the apex to its inner 

 margin and is interrupted beyond this last 

 line by five or six small submarginal whitish 

 spots, those nearest the apex being the most 

 distinct. The secondaries on the upper side 

 are dark mouse color with the costa and the 



inner margin paler and the outer margin a 

 trifle darker. The fringes on both wings are 

 very narrowly pale mouse color. On the 

 under side both wings are pale mouse color 

 with the inner margin of the primaries lighter 

 and the outer margins of both wings slightly 

 darker. The fringes areas on the upper side 

 with small blackish marks at the tips of the 

 nervules. Expanse 3S mm. Habitat Talag 



This may be the male of T. (Pcic/iypasa) 

 Graberii, Dew. 



16S. T. fuliginosa, sp. nov. J. Allied to 

 the preceding species in form and size, hut 

 differing in that the prevalent color is sooty- 

 black on both sides of the wings. The broad 

 diverging median ray which appears in the 

 preceding species is also characteristic of this 

 species, being defined as a more intense black 

 upon the blackish body of the wing. The 

 transverse lines of the primaries which appear 

 in the preceding species are lacking in this 

 form as also the submarginal series of light 

 spots. Expanse 40mm. 



This may be a highly melanic form of the 

 preceding species, but the fact that numerous 

 specimens of it have been taken which are all 

 quite constant in their markings suggests that 

 we have to do with a distinct form. 



169. T. Hoiirathi, Dew. $ . The female 

 ofthis species was described by Dewitz. In 

 a suite of eighteen specimens bred from larvae, 

 there are ten males. Front and upper side of 

 thorax hoary-gray; metathorax heavily 

 clothed with rosy-brown hairs; upper side of 

 thorax grayish-brown ; under side of thorax 

 brown ; under side of abdomen ochraceous. 

 The primaries are hoary-brown on the upper 

 side crossed upon the middle by abroad hand 

 of dark brown, margined externally and 

 internally by waved and denticulated lines of 

 darker brown and interrupted throughout its 

 entire length from the costa to the inner 

 margin by two parallel curved series of 

 blackish subhastate markings the innermost 

 series pointing outwardly, the outermost
