angle of the cell to the dorsal margin, 8 or 9 indistinct, dark, undulate transverse lines, a double, anteriorly 
very much curved, midway and posteriorly straight, reddish postmedian line extends from the costa near the 
apex to the anal angle, the sublimbal line is very undulate, irregular, indistinct, and dark. Hindwing with 
a reddish subbasal line being the most distinct at the dorsal margin, moreover with 4 very indistinct undulate 
lines, the reddish postmedian line indistinct, a somewhat irregular row of small sublimbal spots. — In 
ab. dehyalinata ab. nov. the hyaline spot at the cell-end is absent. -— ab. abnorminervis ab. nov. is distinguished 
by vein 7 of the forewing rising from 6 instead of 8. — The $ is darker, the apex of the forewing sharper, the 
apical area of both wings covered with grey, the oblique line on both wings distinctly marked and single, 
the undulate lines more distinct, at the cell-end of the forewing two hyaline spots, the red postmedian line more 
distinct, an undulate grey sublimbal line in both wings. — Expanse of wings: $ 100, 2 130 mm. Widely distri¬ 
buted in India (Sikkim, Burma). — khasiana Mr. from the Khasia Hills in Assam is so closely allied to the 
preceding that it is only regarded as a form of it not even being geographically sharply defined. 
T. rothschildi nom. nov. (= pallida Rothsch., nec 1 Vkr.) is a form likewise closely allied to khasiana 
Mr. The name of pallida which is already absorbed in the genus Tagora and in the genera allied to it, has been 
replaced here, rothschildi differs from khasiana by its larger size (expanse 134 mm against 117 mm). The 
oblique band from the apex of the forewing to the proximal margin, is more distinct and straighter, the sub¬ 
marginal cloud much duller. The hindwing is also similar, but with only one antemedian band and a brown, 
straight, not dingy, dentate postmedian band. Likewise from the Khasia Hills, described according to 1 2. 
T. pallida Wkr. (= asclepiades Fldr.) (31 b, c). The differs from patula by the head being dark 
red-brown and the hair-tuft on the antennal basal joint being dark. Forewing without a hyaline spot, the two 
median undulate lines are on the costa and at the dorsal margin remote from each other and almost contiguous 
in the middle; the double postmedian lines of both wings are dark, narrow, closer together and less curved. 
The $ is very much tinted brown and with a hyaline spot at the cell-end. Expanse of wings: <$ 120 $ 180 mm. 
India, Sumatra, Borneo. 
T. nigriceps Hmps. (56 Bf). Brownish-grey, with a black head and a light hair-tuft at the basal 
joint of the antenna. Forewing with traces of undulate antemedian lines, a hyaline spot at the end of the cell, 
beyond the middle five undulate lines, the postmedian cell indistinct, from the undulate sublimbal line there 
extend dark streaks along the veins to the post-median line, between the veins 2 and 3 there is a dark brown 
patch. Hindwing with a straight postmedian line and within this line 4 undulate lines, the undulate sublimbal 
line is remote from the margin. Expanse of wings: 96 mm. Ceylon. 
T. murina Mr. (56 B f). + Greyish red-brown. Head dark brown, the basal joint of the antenna 
with a light hair-tuft. In the forewing 4 indistinct antemedian lines, no hyaline spot at the cell-end, 5 undulate 
postmedian lines, the proximal one of which almost touches the distal one of the antemedian lines on the disc, 
the post-median straight line is double and distinctly marked, the area between it and the distal undulate line 
covered with greyish. Hindwing with 4 or 5 undulate lines within the straight, double postmedian line, near 
the margin an undulate line, the area outside of it covered with greyish. The $ is more reddish, the fore wing 
with two hyaline spots at the cell-end. Expanse of wings: J 84, $ 94 mm. Ceylon. 
11. Genus: Pseudo, j ana Hmps. 
This genus based upon one species, incandescens Wkr., is easily distinguished from the following genus 
Ganisa by vein 7 of the hindwing rising before the cell-end, remote from 6. The palpi are erect and densely 
haired. Antennae in both sexes with rather short combs, but the spurs of the legs are long. Forewing broad 
and rounded, discocellular almost straight, without an areola, veins 7 + 8 + 9 forked. In the hindwing the 
discocellular is angular below vein 5. 
P. incandescens Wkr. (31 b). Head, collar and prothorax dark chestnut-brown, meso- and metathorax 
somewhat lighter brown, abdomen bright reddish yellow. Forewing greyish-brown with traces of a- subbasal 
curved grey line and with indistinct antemedian, median and post-median, erect, straight, dark lines, the last 
of which is proximally edged with grey, and with an indistinct submarginal line which is angular on vein 4. 
Hindwing darker brown and with an indistinct, curved median line. Under surface covered with a fiery reddish 
tint, with a median line and an oblique postmedian line. Expanse of wings: 130 mm. Sikkim.
