T. quinquepunctata Warr. resembles the preceding, the basal stripe of the forewing is shorter, ending 
below the rise of the 2nd cubitus, the hindmost submarginal spot on the 2nd cubitus. In the hindwing the 
hind-margin is black, narrower than in seminigrata, distal margin broader black. Expanse 40 mm. Panama. 
T. moerens Warr. Forewing black, basal area hyaline with black veins, a large oblong white spot 
behind the cell, a small one at the tornus. Two small white spots before the apex beyond the cell. Hindwing 
with a broad black distal margin and veins, a white spot beyond the cell, and a smaller one below it, beneath 
with a whitish basal streak in the cell and in the anal area. — In the form condensata Warr. (69 a) 
the wing is more suffused with blackish, all the white spots are smaller. — Expanse 35 to 37 mm. Ecuador, 
Colombia. 
T. haemon Drc. (69 a) is quite similar to .seminigrata. browner, the submarginal spot on the 1st median 
is absent. Panama. 
T. deiphon Drc. (69 b). Forewing blackish-brown, base somewhat hyaline, a whitish spot behind 
the cross-vein, a smaller submarginal one on the 2nd median and 2nd cubitus (the latter may be absent). 
Hindwing hyaline white, apex broad, distal margin and hind-margin black, distal margin deeply indented at 
the 1st cubitus. Panama. 
T. esernius Drc. Eorewing dark brown, base, a round spot at the cell-end, three small streaks at the 
apex, and a spot at the tornus hyaline. Hindwing white, apex and distal margin black. Expanse 25 to 30 mm. 
Costa Rica. 
T. albirsigra Warr. Eorewing at the base as far as 2 / 5 white, but veins black, particularly the analis; 
the distal part black with a large white cellend-spot, a smaller white spot between the cubital branches and 2 
submarginal spots below the apex. Hindwing white, distal margin and hind-margin as well as apex broad black. 
Expanse 26 mm. Panama. 
T. pyrifera Dgn. Forewing black, veins lighter; at the base a white spot which is anteriorly concave, 
the distal part of which reaches the centre of the cell, from where it extends slantingly to the posterior margin 
of the cell, and then rather straight to the hind-margin a little behind the centre. Hindwing in the basal half 
white, the distal half being black, the white spot distally projecting at the 3rd median. Expanse 23 mm. 
Colombia. 
T. caliginosa Dgn. Similar to pyrifera , but the white basal spot extends farther in front, in the distal 
end situate right below the costal margin; forewing beneath with a white subterminal spot on the 2nd median. 
Expanse 25 mm. Ecuador. 
T. inaequiplaga Dgn. Eorewing black with a postcellular oval hyaline spot and a small subterminal 
spot between the 2nd and 1st median. Hindwing black with a large white spot which does not reach the base, 
following the analis posteriorly and being more extensive on the 3rd median; the anterior edge of the spot 
reaches the base of the costa. Expanse 25 mm. Colombia. 
T. suffumosa Dgn. (69 b). Forewing similar to the preceding, the spot behind the cell indistinctly 
defined, no subterminal spot. Hindwing black with a white central spot which is distally bordered by the cell, 
but it crosses it posteriorly and extends to the abdominal margin. Expanse 26 mm. Argentina. 
T. fulvipalpis Dgn. Forewing black, veins dusted with yellow, except the branches from the 2nd 
cubitus to the 1st median, a small oblong white spot behind the cell, extending from the 2nd cubitus to the 
1st median, veins beneath not yellow. Hindwing black, basal half white as far as the hind-margin. Palpi below 
yellow. Expanse 24 to 26 mm. Colombia. 
T. mirma Drc. {=■ semilugens Warr., dryas Dgn.) (69 b). Eorewing black, veins partly reddish- 
brown. basal third white, from the direction of the costal margin at the extreme base more or less blackish, 
the white area with a distally directed tooth at the 2nd cubitus. At the apex 2 hyaline subapical spots. 
Hindwing whitish, apex broadly, distal margin and tornus more narrowly bordered with black. Bolivia. 
T. coniades Drc. Forewing blackish-brown with a triangular white spot on the base of the hind- 
margin, not reaching the costal margin. Hindwing white, only the apex broadly black. Expanse 26 mm. 
Ecuador. 
T. aliena Dgn. (69 b). Eorewing blackish-brown, veins somewhat yellowish, on the hind-margin 
a white spot the apex of which is in front at the subcosta, and an orange subapical spot. Hindwing white, distal 
margin broadly black, hind-margin dusted with blackish. Bolivia, Peru. 
T. latialbata Prt. is vei’y similar to erymas, palpi whitish, not orange. Distal margin of forewing more 
abrupt, the veins more intensely orange, the white band broader (3 ]/ 2 to 4 mm). Hindwing at the hind-margin 
broader black, the irroration extending to the cell. Expanse 27 mm. Ecuador. 
T. nervosa Edw., according to the description, entirely corresponds with latialbata. Colour of palpi 
yellow, towards the tips blackish. The white spot of the forewing is broader than in erymas. Mexico. 
T. erymas Drc. Forewing brown, veins at the base whitish, witn a white discal spot, anteriorly 
extending to the costal margin, posteriorly to the analis and there often expanded; before the apex an orange 
spot. Hindwing white, apex broadly, distal margin more narrowly black. Hind-margin dusted with blackish, 
not extending to the analis. -— In the form albifera Warr. (69 b) the white spot of the forewing is not parallel- 
margined as in the nomenclatural form, but posteriorly expanded like a club. Panama, Costa Rica. — In
