irregular, broken outwards at the lower margin of the cell and

the larger and the darker of the two, third and fourth confluent 
shifted well outwards, the fourth being shifted slightly further out as 
to its outer margin, fifth spot very small shifted well in, sixth larger 
with its inner margin beyond and touching the spot closing the cell, 
seventh and eighth shifted right in, strongly angled, almost touching 
the sub-basal band ; a well-arched subterminal broadish line, followed 
by a series of four small sublunular dark terminal spots from the

Hal. Sierra Leone. 
Typo in my collection. 
This species is near T.'pliocnicis, Kar.sch; the dilferences 
are very difficult to describe in words, though real in 
effect; the figures will show them better than words. 
Genitalia.— Harpago broad, hollowed, its lower edge slightly 
curved, its upper edge tapering down to three quarters, where it is 
excised and suddenly elevated into two long sharp teeth, from 
where it rapidly tajiers to the extremity which is develo])ed into a 
very long fine curved tusk-like jirocess. Cingula with narrow 
arms expanding somewhat into the cheeks of the tegumen, the basal 
process projected backwards into a gradually tapering formation. 
Tegumen moderately developed, the whole of the front apex slightly 
and gradually excavated, cheeks evenly rounded from the excavation, 
then straight, with the falces long, strong, slightly hooked at the 
extremities, highly curved about a quarter from their sockets. 
Furca with base short, longish narrow arms curved backwards. 
Penis sheath with the hinder half broadish somewhat oval, gradually 
tapering at the middle to the tip, tbe extremity of which is exca¬ 
vated, the apical fifth being roughly shagreened.
