sides of abdomen, and anal end with blackish and greyish-brown hairs. The yellowish-brown forewing with 
a more or less reddish tint exhibits a dull blackish, not distinctly defined median band which is very broad 
and light brownish in the centre here, in front of it and behind it several darker yellowish-brown undulating 
lines; subterminal line light, before and behind it at the apex blackish powdering, sharply crossed by the light 
veins. The much smaller is much darker blackish brown, thorax and abdomen contrastingly fox-coloured, 
the median a»’ea above 2 still darker, containing the whitish cross-vein streak. Widely distributed and common 
in Brazil. In more greyish-brown specimens the thorax and abdomen are not rusty brown, but of the same 
colour. 
T. hella H. 8. (= vocontia Drc.) (79 c) is much more allied to medialis than it might appear from 
the first glance. Forewing reddish yellowish-brown, in the marginal area with distinct and fine white veins, 
very similarly marked as medialis, but the lines and the median band but slightly darker than the ground; 
the median vein is likewise fine white, at the cell-end there is a whitish transverse streak; apex blackened. The 
$ is relatively large, with broad and round wings, coloured and marked like the §, but generally behind the 
subterminal line somewhat darkened by blackish-brown. Widely distributed and common in Brazil. 
T. regina Dogn. (81 c) has the same scheme of markings as the preceding species, but the ground¬ 
colour is blackish-grey (,,pepper and salt“), with light flesh-coloured median area and transverse lines, the 
latter bordered with olive, the marginal area likewise olive; at the cell-end above and below one dark ohve 
dot each. Hindwing flesh-coloured reddish-grey, subterminally blackened, the margin and fringe ohve. Described 
from a $ from French Guiana. 
T. dulcis sp. n. (Maass. i. 1.) (79 c) is very similar to medialis, light yellowish-brown like the thorax 
and abdomen, the latter with a thick greyish-black anal tuft. Lines much more sharply dentate, the postmeclian 
line with dark vein-dots on the tips; median area not scantily scaled, blackish, but brown, edged by 2 dark 
dentate lines; in the middle at the costal margin not lighter; the subterminal line forming in medialis small 
crescents distally projecting between the veins, forms here only 3 large flat bows, and the marginal area behind 
it is not darkened. Hindwing lighter. Described from a £ of an unknown habitat, in the Berlin Museum (in 
Coll. Maass). 
T. catharina sp. n. (79 c). Head, thorax, and abdomen light ochreous, the lines being similarly 
bordered as in dulcis and the median area more prominently dark yellowish-brown, very undulatingly dentate, 
the median area distally projecting on 7 in an acute angle, above it as far as the costal margin with 3 pointed 
small dents; a subapical large brown crescentiform spot embraced by the branches of the white subterminal 
line which is only subapically visible. Fringe broadly speckled with whitish. Hindwing light yellowish-red. 
Described from a $ from Sa. Catharina, in the Coll. Wernicke. The is much more distinctly marked. 
T. sorex sp. n. (79 c) is similar to catharina, but with much broader wings, the colouring is much 
lighter, whitish, in the basal, median, and marginal areas not darker, crossed by about 7 notched light rusty 
brownish transverse lines; in the basal quarter of the costal margin and apically strewn with blackish. Hindwing 
almost white. Abdomen yellowish-white, only dorsally and at the anus with rusty brownish hairs like the 
thorax. Remarkable by particularly long, tapering palpi. According to 1 $, habitat unknown, in the Berlin 
Museum. 
T. pelochroa Berg is unknown to me, in the colouring and organisation described as allied to 
hella, with the same wing-contours and scheme of marking on the forewing; median area filled with a darker 
colour excepting the costal margin, undulating line indistinct, only in the dark apex more distinct; margin 
dark excepting the ends of the veins. Ground-colour ochreous; the postmedian line forms 3 or 4 bows. Base 
and marginal line of hindwing somewhat lighter. Expanse of wings: 52 mm. Rio de Janeiro. The description 
is rather similar to that of medialis. 
T. innocens Burm. (79 d). As to the identification of this species and the following I am not certain, 
though I consider the couple denoted as innocens in the Berlin Museum, from Buenos Ayes, to be correct. Greyish 
brown, lines arranged as in hella, median area edged by 2 more intense lines, with 2 black discal dots; apex 
blackened, the darkest, before the subterminal line. The $ is lighter, more yellowish, scantily scaled, the 
transverse lines edging the median area are distinct, the lower discal dot is mostly absent. Abdomen much 
more intensely haired rust-brown. Larva dark brown or grey, finely striated with reddish-yellow, with large 
bluish-grey tubercles margined with red or yellow with black spines, the brownish-grey lateral hairs as much 
as 1 cm long, among them on the 4th and 11th segments with black lustrous spatulate hairs. It lives on Schinus 
molle and Duvana dependens, and constructs a flat yellowish-grey cocoon on the twigs. Brazil and Argentina. 
T. pauperata Burm. (79 d) is very similar, the lines of the median area feebler, in the $ the inner 
line almost quite absent; in the median area there are below the cell two chestnut-brown round spots, the lower 
of which is mostly more indistinct; the lower discal dot is usually absent; subapically broad blackish irr oration. 
The are lighter or darker, mostly more yellowish. Brazil, Argentina. Larva, according to Berg, on Acacia 
and Celtis tala, similar to innocens, with 2 long lateral hair-pencils. Cocoon of a dingy yellowish grey. 
T. pellita sp. n. (79 d) is allied to innocens and pauperata, but much larger, yellowish-brown, the 
lines are lighter wavy lines, only those enclosing the not darkened median area are more brownish, on the opposite 
sides bordered with light; in the upper cell-angle there is a thick black dot, in the lower angle a very fine
