T. castralia Jones. The £ is on the body dark purple-brown, the forewing scantily scaled, black, caslralia. 
powdered with brownish; median area not darker, its light proximal border-line only distinct at the costal 
margin, the white distal one in its costal portion straighter than in the other species, the black discal spot hazy; 
subterminal line only feebly indicated, at the distal margin before the dark brown fringes on the ends of the 
veins whitish dots. Hindwing with traces of a lighter postmedian band and an indistinct dark discal spot. The 
$ is lighter brownish-grey, the median area edged by darker lines, the anal tuft purple blackish-brown. Castro 
(Parana). 
T. lanuginosa Schs. (80 b) is a large dark brown species, the median area is not darkened and lanuginosa. 
towards its light border-lines edged with a darker colour, the subterminal line quite indistinct. Abdomen of 
$ lighter greyish-brown, anal tuft blackish, with a slate-coloured silky gloss. South-Eastern Brazil (Sao Paulo). 
T. cupriflua sp. n. (80 b, c) is very similar to fuscicaudata on the forewing, but the distal border cupriflua. 
of the median area is less sinuate, the subterminal line in the upper third distinct; easily recognisable by the 
copper-red anal tuft of the $. — The larva, according to a water-colour sketch kindly communicated by 
Mr. Giacomelli, is irregularly spotted green on the white ground, with a white dorsal band which is traversed 
by two fine black lines and shaded with blackish on the 4th and 5th, as well as on the 9th and 10th rings. 
Argentina. Type in the Mus. Senckenberg; similar specimens in the U. S. Museum in Washington. 
T. serralta Jones resembles cupriflua by the golden brown anal tuft of the $; forewing more brownish, serralta. 
the median band not prominently darker, the light grey proximal border broad, the distal border narrow; the 
faded undulating subterminal line is light grey; fringes dark brown. Described from Santos (Brazil). 
T. scaenica sp. n. (80 c). Colour and marking of forewing similar to cupriflua , but the colour is srarnica. 
somewhat more brownish, the median area broader at the costal margin, the light bands are narrow, on both 
sides edged with a somewhat darker border, also the subterminal line which is more distinct in its anal portion 
than in its costal portion. Hindwing with a light postmedian band; anal tuft of $ yellowish white. Rio 
Grande do Sul, type in the Coll. Wernicke, Dresden. 
T. simulans Wkr. (80 c) is very similar to scaenica, but more brownish, duller, the light bands simulans. 
indistinct, less prominent, the light band of the hindwing only in the more distinct. Anal tuft of 9 silvery 
white. Southern Brazil. 
T. nigripuncta Schs. (81 d) resembles undulosa and simulans on the forewing, but the distal margin nigripunc- 
is rounder, the light postmedian band less undulating; forewing light grey, with brown veins; the median band ia - 
is edged by broad brown shadows and centrally lighter, at the cell-end there is a large velvety black spot, 
subterminally a light brown shadow. Hindwing smoky-brown. Only the Jf is known. French Guiana. 
T. suffusa Jones is dark grey powdered with brown; on the forewing this powdering is the most suffusa. 
distinct, somewhat less in the basal third. A broad, somewhat faded dark brown postmedian transverse band 
is outwardly angular below the costal margin; at the cell-end a dark spot, the dark undulating line indistinctly 
waved. Hindwing brown, towards the base grey. Fringes of both wings dark brown. Described from 1 $ 
with an expanse of 58 mm, from Castro, Parana. 
14. Genus: Titya Wkr. 
The separation from Tolype is, as we already mentioned there, more or less artificial. To this genus 
the species are placed, with somewhat more elongate forewings showing particularly often in the an extremely 
short inner margin, and on the hindwing a very oblique cross-vein which is not or but slightly angular. Most 
of the species are very similar to such of the preceding genus. 
Type: noctilux Wkr. 
T. primitiva Wkr. (= taruda Schs.) (80 c) is the main representative of a group of very similar primitiva. 
species. In the $ the body is black, the patagia are greyish-white with a flesh-coloured pink tint. Forewing 
greyish-white with a feeble reddish hue, a blackish median band containing a small black discal spot, before 
and behind it with finer grey transverse lines, with postmedian and subterminal broader grey nebulous bands; 
veins yellowish-ochreous. Hindwing blackish-grey with a more or less distinct light narrow marginal band. 
The $ is much larger, dark grey, with more undulating transverse markings, and much larger black marginal 
spots. Guiana, Colombia. 
T. angala Schs. from Bolivia, is very similar to primitiva 4 , the shoulders are yellowish salmon-coloured angala. 
like the ground-colour of the forewing, which however is almost covered by broad blackish markings, the median 
area below the cell broadly interrupted. Margin of hindwing likewise yellowish pink with black internerval dots at 
the margin. According to 1 Jf from Rurrenabaque (Bolivia), with an expanse of 35 mm.
