Genus TAJURIA. 



Tajurtn, Moore, Lep. Ceyl. vol. i. p. 108 (1881). 

 Remrfatia, Moore MS.* 



Anterior wings subtri angular ; the costal margin moderately convex, the apex subacute, the outer 

 margin moderately convex, the inner margin slightly sinuate. Costal nervure terminating on costa nearly 

 opposite end of cell ; first subcostal nervule emitted near middle of cell, second about midway between 

 first and third, third a little before end of cell, third and 1 fourth bifurcating at about or a little beyond 

 half the length of the third; disco- cellular nervules anberect; first median nervule emitted at end of 

 cell, second nearer to first than to third, third emitted at about two-thirds from base. Posterior wings 

 subovate ; costal margin obliquely convex to apex, which is rounded ; posterior margin obliquely rounded, 

 prolonged in a more or less distinct angle at apex of second median nervule, and with two slender 

 tail-like appendages situate respectively at the apices of the third median nervule and of the submedian 

 nervnre. Costal nervure extending to apex of wing ; subcostal nervules bifurcating at about one-third 

 before end of cell ; first and second median nervules with an apparently common origin a little before 

 end of cell, third a little be von d middle of cell; submedian nervure slightly curved outwardly; internal 

 nervure strongly curved inwardly. Body robust. Palpi porrect, the apex of the second joint not reaching 

 the upper margin of the eyes. 



This genus, proposed by Mr. Moore, is evidently — from the description — closely allied to 

 Vratajm of the same author, a genus which I have had no opportunity to examine. The only 

 structural differential characters given are in respect to the posterior wing, which has the 

 l( cell broader, the subcostal and median branches emitted further from the base."
