T. mnionia Dgn. Forewing brown, mixed with moss-green and reddish, the veins partly irrorated mnionia. 
with white, with thick brown transverse lines; the whitish maculae irrorated with green are confluent below, 
the large ring-macula is quadrangular, between and behind the. maculae as well as submedianly as far as the 
hindmargin, the ground-colour is brown; like in toxaridia (30 i) there is a broad postmedian band irrorated 
with reddish and brown, behind it there are 3 brown marginal spots. The ^ is much darker. Hindwing blackish 
with yellowish fringes. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Colombia (Mt. Socorro; Quindiu). 
T. punctisigna Dgn. has black forewings, with green spots at the costal margin, the distal line partly pvnctisigna. 
flesh-coloured, behind it with a broad band being flesh-coloured mixed with green and strewn with black, towards 
the costal margin warming into a lustrous violettish black, distally defined by the distinctly white-dentated 
undulate line; the extrabasilar line and the anterior transverse line are united at the hindmargin below' a lustrous 
violettish-black spot; the maculae are light green, the reniform macula is distally spotted white; at the distal 
margin there is a series of violettish-black vein-dots connected by a green line. Hindwing yellowish with a 
broad blackish marginal band. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Colombia (Quindiu Pass). 
T. eugrapha Jones (30 k). Forewing red-brown, tinted grey, in some places irrorated with blackish- eugrcrplm. 
brown, the distal hindmarginal half and the embedment of the double transverse lines somewhat greenish with 
somewhat lighter ringed, blackish-encircled maculae; the short broad coniform macula is also present ; between 
them extends a thick, strongly bent median line; before and behind the grey undulate line, which is proximally 
shaded with brown, there are small black sagittae above and below the middle radial; the anal angle is shaded 
with black. Hindwing brown, at the margin darker. Brazil. 
T. stieglmayri Zerny (33 h) is wood-coloured on the forewing, in the central area somewhat darker stieglmayri. 
with black, feebly cremdate transverse lines, brown maculae surrounded with black, the reniform macula 
bordered with a light yellowish-brown; the light brownish-yellow undulate line is proximally bordered by small 
blackish triangular spots. Hindwing yellowish-white, at the costal margin and hindmargin brownish, with 
a dark postmedian line. Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul). 
T. niarina Grt. (30 k) has moss-green forewings mixed with olive -brown and strewn with black, marina. 
with purple grey and white irrorated veins and black crenulate transverse lines on the averted sides bordered 
with whitish. The maculae are small, centred with greenish, the undulate line is light , proximally in some places 
shaded with dark. Hindwing brownish-grey. California. 
T. semilunata Grt. (30 k) has greyish-brown forewings strewn with white, the crenulate transverse semilunaia. 
lines bordered with whitish, the maculae in whitish rings, without borders, and a whitish two-pointed splinter¬ 
shaped spot behind the coniform macula; the white undulate line shows a distinct W as far as the margin. 
Hindwing orange-yellowish with a dark central luna and marginal band. Washington, Colorado. 
T. inordinata Morr. (31 a) is larger than the preceding, with somewhat similar markings and colours, inordinate/. 
the type in the central area more reddish, the distinctly double transverse lines are filled up with white and 
connected by a black prolongation of the coniform macula above which a light splinter-shaped spot is situate; 
before the undulate line are black sagittae, the veins forming the W are somewhat more distinctly white-striped. 
Hindwing yellowish with a dark central luna, postmedian line, and marginal band. -— The form columbiae columbiae. 
Strd. (— ah. 1. Hmps.) lacks the reddish tint in the central area, and the hindwing is more yellow. From British montana. 
Columbia. -—- f. montana Sm. (31 a), from Colorado, is lighter, the markings are finer and less deeply black, 
the sagittae before the undulate line are extinct. The species is besides distributed in Canada and the United 
States. 
T. miselioides Gn. (31 a) is well characterized by the quite round, mostly quite white reniform miselioides. 
macula, the forewing being green mixed with brown, with grey and white striped veins, indistinctly double 
transverse lines filled up with whitish, the maculae surrounded with blackish; before the indistinctly lighter 
-undulate line there are small brown sagittae. Hindwing brownish-grey. New York to Texas. -— miscellus Sm. miscellus. 
is blackish-brownish and grey without green tints. •— The velvety-green larva with a white lateral line lives 
on Smilax rotundifolia. 
T. macerata Sm. (31a) is on the forewing yellowish mixed with greenish, in the central area darkened, macerata. 
with double intei’rupted transverse lines and whitish, greenish-centred maculae, from the pointed coniform 
macula a dark shadow extends to the posterior transverse line, in the marginal area with yellowish elliptical 
spots between the grey-striped veins; no undulate line. Hindwing brownish-grey. Canada. 
T. cinefacta Grt. (31 b). Forewing light brown, strewn darker, in the basal area, postmedianly, dnefacta. 
in the lower half of the central area and at the apex irrorated with bluish-white, with a black basal ray, and 
crenulate transverse lines bordered with whitish and submedianly connected by black; maculae in whitish 
rings, the ring-macula oblique elliptical, the reniform macula below inwardly produced; instead of the undulate 
line small white spots with small black sagittae before them, forming a W below the centre. Hindwing greyish- 
brown. Canada to Colorado. — f. albertae Strd. (= ab. 1. Hmps.), from Alberta, exhibits the transverse lines albertae. 
interrupted and along the hindmarginal vein connected by white; the undulate line is net interrupted, and 
the small sagittae before it are absent.
