T. apicalis Wkr. (=biplagat.a Snell) (101). Like Ihe former, blit the basal spot is wanting and the 
yellow discal spot is oval. From Sumatra and Borneo. — The ab. flaviplaga has the discal spot somewhat squarer. 
T. albiplaga Wkr. Only one white discal spot, smaller and more irregularly defined. Borneo. — From 
this form albisignata Wkr. (10 e) from Malacca differs in the broader more regular bandshaped white spot. The 
belly is black. 1 found the species at Singapore, quite near to the town flying along hedges, but always singly. 
T. detracta Wkr. (10 f). Like albiplaga, but smaller and with less blue sheen; beside the discal spot 
there is another white spot near to the base of the forewings. Abdomen of the cf white beneath. Borneo. 
T. basifera Wkr. Like detracta, but the abdomen of the c? is not white, the discal spot larger and the basal 
spot smaller, Borneo; specimens from Malacca have sometimes the transparent spots of the hindwings connected. 
T. hosei Rothsch. (lOf). Larger than the former with very bright blue sheen, the white discal spot 
large, as in albisignata, the spot near the base small, rather square. On the hindwings there are also transparent 
spots. North Borneo: discovered by Hose at an altitude of over 1000 ft. 
T. albifrontalis Pag. (lOf). The transparent discal spot longish oval, the basal spot forming almost a 
complete square, behind it at the root there is another small hyaline spot. Island of Nais, not rare. 
T. trizonata Hmps. (lOf). Above almost exactly like specimens of detracta but with some white in 
the hindwings, but the underside of the abdomen is not white in the cd, but dark brown with three yellow 
rings. From Perak. 
T. quadriplagiata Snell. (10 f). The. discal spot window-shaped and almost as large as in diplaga\ but 
in and below the cell there are two further hyaline spots and also another much larger one in the hindwings; 
face white, the two middle abdominal segments whitish yellow beneath. Sumatra, discovered by B. Hagen 
in the Sultanate Deli. 
T. divisura Wkr. (1 0 f). Resembles the former species, but smaller, not so shining, the spots in and 
under the cell smaller, the discal spot divided into two small hyaline spots. Borneo, discovered by Wallace. 
Type in the Oxford Museum. 
T. vigorsi Moore (10 g). Body black, abdomen without rings, forewing spots arranged similar to those 
of Cergx transitiva (10 e) but the hindwings have not got two hyaline spots as the latter, but with the exception 
of the margin, which is only broad at the apex, quite transparent and the forewings with a basal spot. Java. 
T. kannegieteri Rothsch. (lOg). Abdomen with light pale brown rings at the base and on the fifth 
segment: the forewings spots arranged differently from the former, reminding one of divisura (10f), but the 
apical forewing spot is much shorter, so that the apex remains broad blackish blue, hindwings with a fine 
central spot. Inland of Nias, type in the Tring Museum.

very variable in size; the abdomen is not quite so black as in vigorsi, but has white rings at the base and 
on the 5 th segment. — In the ab. chloroleuca Wkr. the two spots at the root of the forewings coalesce to form chloroleuca. 
a streak. Malacca, Borneo, Pulo Laut. Type of both forms in the Oxford Museum. 
T. elongimacula limps. (10g). All the forewing streaks lengthened to lines and the abdomen with a e ^j c f ima ' 
yellow base and five yellow rings; thorax marked with yellow. Borneo and Pulo Laut. 
5. Genus: Syiltoillis O. (cor. Amata F.) 
Since it has now been ascertained, that the name Amata was published in 1807 and not in 1808, 
that is to say before Ochsenheimer’s name, this Genus must now be known as Amata. We recommend there 
fore to ‘label it as such in collections and in literature and only allow the old name to stand here, as otherwise 
a contradiction would occur with Vol. 2 and in a work of reference it is desirous to preserve uniformity: 
this is reason why we do not discard the name under which all students would look for these 
insects, but retain it with an explanation. In old works, one frequently finds the name Glaucopis in use, and 
the Family name Glaucopidae derived from same is still frequently in use. Wallengren has constituted a large
