T. clarifimbria Prout resembles semihyalina in shape, but is larger, the face more brownish, the fringes 
almost white (in the allies yellow). Ceylon. 
T. furvifimbria Prout , also from Ceylon, differs from all the preceding in the green face and dark grey 
fringes. 
T. veraria Guen. (11 h). As with quadraria, the determination is conjectural, but we assume that the 
name applies to a widely distributed species closely similar to quadraria but with the face green. Java, Sumatra, 
Borneo, Banka I., the Moluccas, etc. aucta Prout (12 g) seems to be a race from N. India, chiefly distinguish¬ 
ed by its larger size. - flavifimbria Warr. is probably the Papuan race of this species, perhaps of a more 
bluish green, the hindwing on an average more sharply angled. New Guinea, Goodenough and Sudest Islands. 
T. falsaria Prout (11 i). Smaller than veraria aucta, terminal joint, of palpus somewhat longer (almost 
1 2 of second joint), angle of hindwing rather sharper, colouring rather deeper, genitalia different. North India, 
especially in the Khasis. I have also recorded it from Formosa. 
T. retusa Prout (12 g). Moderately large, rather darker green, hindwing as obtusely angled as in 
clarifimbria, but the face green. Central Ceram. 
T. dorsilinea Warr. (11 i). Angle of hindwing rather weak. Easily recognized by its rather small size 
and white dorsal line from mesothorax along abdomen. Differs from grammonota in having the face green 
and in shape. Described from New Guinea, known also from Key Islands, Rook Island and N. Queensland. 
T. javensis Prout differs from all other species ef group A in having black terminal dots; face green; 
fringe tipped with grey. In shape somewhat approaches immissaria. Java; perhaps also in the Malay Peninsula. 
T. subviridis Warr. is a small species, of a much yellower green than any of the preceding. Christmas 
Island. 
B. Markings typical. H i n d t i b i a of dilated, with hair-pencil and 
short ter m i n a 1 p r o c e s s. 
T. acutipennis Prout. Only two poor specimens are yet known, but the species is quite distinct in the 
acute and somewhat produced apex of the forewing. More yellowish green than most of the species, less so 
than in subviridis. Caroline Islands. 
T. deloloma Prout. Hindtibia with the terminal process rudimentary. Aspect of javensis, but with 
a black terminal line, extremely fine yet not or scarcely interrupted. Antemedian line obsolete. Hindwing 
rather broader and less acutely angled than in immissaria. E. Sumatra, probably also Singapore. 
T. immissaria is a common and widely distributed species with green face, rather elongate 3rd joint 
of palpus and well angled hindwing. Terminal black dots are commonly developed on the veins. Geographical 
variation not great. — opaliraa Butt. (11 i), from N. India to Hainan and Formosa, has the terminal dots 
generally minute, the outer line perhaps finer and straighter than in the following. — immissaria Walk, was 
described from Ceylon, but I cannot separate the form from the Malayan subregion. rhytiphorus Lower is 
generally larger and of a somewhat bluer green, the abdomen often with a white dorsal line. N. Australia; 
also from New Guinea and eastward to the Solomons. 
T. chloropis Meyr. (= ? veraria B.-Bak., nec Guen.) (11 i). 2nd radial of forewing arising very near 
1st, 1st median of forewing connate or just separable, not stalked. Similar in structure and colouring to the 
preceding, perhaps another race. I have not seen any very fresh specimens from Fiji, but the terminal dots 
are entirely wanting in the Friendly Islands specimens. Also reaches Samoa. 
T. timoclea Druce, also from Fiji, is smaller and has the palpus shorter. Druce’s $ type has an asym¬ 
metrical pale band across the wings, evidently due to injury, perhaps to the pupa. 
T. dissita Walk. (11 i) resembles the following species but has no terminal dots, the abdomen scarcely 
spotted with white, fringes proximally greener, hindtibial process longer. S. India and Ceylon. 
T. depulsata Walk. (Ilk) strongly recalls immissaria but has the face red, the outer line generally more 
wavy, rather proximally placed. The black terminal dots are sometimes more elongate, depulsata has a very 
wide range, embracing N. India, Burma, Tonkin, Siam, the Malayan subregion, the Philippines, Celebes (loc. 
typ.) and the Moluccas. 
T. byrsopis Meyr. (= implicata T. P. Luc.), described from the Fly River, seems to represent depulsata (11 k) 
in New Guinea and its satellite islands and in Queensland. Colour perhaps darker; abdomen and fringe more 
as in dissita; terminal black dots present, though small; antenna reddish; hindtibial process even shorter than 
in depulsata.
