(3. Genus: Ta$»ia«l«\s Hbn. 
Last palpal joint short, knob-shaped or coniform. Vein 2 of the forewing arises before the centre of 
the cell, 5 midway between 4 and 6, 11 and 12 are broadly separated. Vein 5 of the hindwing is distinct, 
the border at the apex not emarginated. 
Head above with some minute white dots. Forewing with a hyaline spot in area 11 and sometimes 
also in 12. Hindwing beneath for the greatest part white. 
Review of the Species. 
A. Hindwing above dark-coloured, without a white area. Abdomen above dark brown. 
a. Margin of hindwing almost uniformly rounded off. Larger species of 40 to 47 mm. T. flesus. 
p. Margin of hindwing between the veins 6 and 7 somewhat projecting, then almost straight as far as vein 
1 b. Smaller species of about 35 to 38 mm. 
*. Forewing beneath at the base of the costal margin not white. Hindwing beneath with a coherent 
dark costal-marginal band and behind the centre in 1 c to 6 with a series of black discal spots situate 
near the dark marginal band; besides there are two black spots in area 7, but otherwise no dark 
spots in the white colour. T. insular is. 
** Forewing beneath at the base of the costal margin white. Wings above lighter brown, hindwing 
with three transverse rows of black spots occurring also beneath in the white colour. Hindwing 
beneath at the costal margin only dusted black. 
B. Hindwing also above for the greatest part white, only at the base and costal margin black. Abdomen 
above at the base black, then white. T. lacteus. 
T. flesus F. (= ophion Dr.) (76 c). Forewing with hyaline spots or hyaline dots in 2 to 8 and 11 and flesus. 
in the discal cell (2), but never in lb; the spots in 4 and 5 generally small or absent. Hindwing above in 
the marginal half in the bluish-grey with a distinct transverse band of dark spots, in the $ lighter grey with 
indistinct spots. Sierra Leone to Natal and Usambara in East Africa. 
T. insularis Mat. ( = ophion Bsd.) (76 c) only differs from flesus in the marks stated in the review, insularis. 
The hyaline spots of the forewing are often minute, sometimes there occurs a dot in 1 b. Madagascar. 
T. smithi Mab. (? = samborana Smith) is only known to me from the description, but distinguished smithi. 
from insularis by the marks stated above. T . samborana, according to Smith’s description, cannot be dis¬ 
tinguished from T. smithi and is probably the same species which was probably twice described from specimens 
in the Collection of Grose-Smith. Madagascar. 
T. lacteus Mab. (= dannatti Ehrm.) (76 c) needs no further description. Liberia and Congo District, lacteus. 
7. Genus: Cal lesigris gen. nov. 
Last palpal joint long, porrect. Forewing: vein 2 arises before the centre of the cell, 3 near the posterior 
angle, 5 midway between 4 and 6, 11 is broadly separated from 12. Hindwing: vein 2 arises somewhat behind 
the centre of the cell, 3 near the posterior angle, 5 is distinct. Margin of hindwing rounded off, but deeply 
emarginated between the veins 4 and 6. — forewing without a costal fold, but hind tibiae with a hair- 
pencil. 
This new genus differs considerably from Eagris in the formation of the palpi and the marking. 
C. jamesoni E.-Sh. (76 d). The figure clearly shows the colouring and marking of this distinct species, jamesoni. 
The hyaline spots of the forewing are mostly roundish and encircled with black; they occur in the discal cell 
(a single one) and in the areas 1 b to 8. Last palpal joint black. The ground-colour of the forewing above is 
in the rainy season form darker, browner than in the dry season form. Damara and Mashona Land. Rhodesia. 
kigonserensis Wichgr. ,,Forewing mouse-coloured with brown irroration, particularly inwardly and at the kigonseren- 
posterior margin/ 4 ,,The large white spot at the end of the cell is not so round as in the specimens from Lake 
Tanganyika, but somewhat more square/ 4 The hyaline spots in 1 b and 2 have the form of one large coherent 
spot. East Africa; Kigonsera.
