570 MR. M. H. DRucE OS XEUTKOPiCAL [June 18, 



following have been given by the autlior to the British Museum, 

 viz. : — 



T. taminella Schaus. T.foyi Schaus. 



T. raiia ,, T. tigonia ,, 



( = J', argona Hew.), T. guzanta „ 



T. binangula Schaus. T. polama ,, $ . 



T. bolima ,, 



The specimens of 2\ binaugida and T. bolima appear to be the 

 two sexes of one species and are both labelled Castro, Parana.. 

 The type of 2\ binangida is described from Peru, so possibly theie 

 is some error here. 



Examples of the following species are contained in Mr. Dukin- 

 field Jones's Collection and were determined by Mr. Schaus, 

 viz. : — 



T. xorema Schaus. 



T. muatMna ,, 



T.farrnina ,, {^diccea Hew.). 



T. chilica „ 



Of the remaining species I am unable to make out with 

 certainty the following : — 



T. giapor Schaus. T. conoveria Schaus. 



2\ carta ,, T. curtira ,, 



T. nugar ,, I', tella ,, 



T. atrana „ T. chalimia ,, 



T. talama ,, T. echinita ,, 



T. normahal ,, T. guadala ,, 



T. vialta ,, T. illex ,, 



T. voniiba ,, 7\ hostis ,, 



T. vieca ,, T. foster a ,, 



T. rickmani ,, 2'. lanckena ,, 



T. ziirkvitzi ., T. humber ,, 

 T. epopeodes ,, 



Amongst the collections befoi-e me are specimens which appear 

 from the descriptions to be referable to several of the above-named 

 species, notably T. nugar, T. guadala, and T. hostis. These I have 

 refiuined fi-om describing, but it is quite possible that when they 

 are compared with the types they will prove to be distinct, and 

 I hope on some future occasion to be able to examine these 

 types.
