TIMOCONIA. By Dr. C. Aurivillius. 
thielei. 
dor is. 
yellow transverse band of the forewing terminating at vein 3 (only with a small punctiform spot in 2), for¬ 
ming a spot m the discal cell and being divided by black veins. Sierra Leone to Cameroon. 
Genus: Timoeonia Strd. 
,,Antennae extending about to the centre of the wings; club terminating in a fine sharp point which, 
however, is quite straight, whereas the club itself is in or shortly within the centre strongly curved (though 
not so much as in Abantis plerotica Karsch-Q) and thereby forms a hook. Palpi as in Chapra mathias F but 
the terminal joint straight anteriorly somewhat divergent. Margin of forewing less oblique than in Clmpra, 
that o.f hindwing broadly rounded, without forming any lobular prolongation. Vein 5 of forewing equally 
distant from 4 and 6, vein 5 of hindwing well developed. Forewing with a strongly developed stigma. Hind- 
wing beneath without any marking. Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs, of which those outside are only half 
as long as the two others.“ 
T. thielei Strd. ,,d'. All the wings are brown, with a faint golden yellowish reflection. Forewing with 
a jet-black, equably broad (about 1 mm), 5 mm long, straight oblique streak (,,stigma“) extending from the 
centre of the posterior margin to vein 4 and being directed towards the apex of the wing, and with whitish 
markings: in the distal half of the cell, along the posterior edge of it, a streak of 2% mm length, which is 
sharply pointed at its proximal end, whilst at its distal end it is anteriorly broken, so that it is prolonged 
into a slanting oblique streak of about 1(4 mm length, parallel to the discocellular; near the distal side of 
the apex of the black stigma, between the veins 3 and 4, a quadrangular transverse spot, and between the 
veins 6 to 9 three round punctiform spots, the posterior of which is a little larger, their distance from each 
other being as great as the diameter of the smaller spots; they form a straight row about 2% mm distant 
from the white streak in the cell and pointing vertically to the costal margin. Underside of both wings brownish- 
grey with similar fringes; forewing with the same light markings as above, which, however, are less distinctly 
marked, and a slightly darker, indistinct longitudinal streak from the base to beyond the centre; hindwing 
beneath quite uni-coloured.“ Expanse 29 mm. Delagoa Bay. 
,,Nisoniades“ doris Wkr. ,,$. Brown. Head in front, abdomen beneath, and legs white. Antennae 
white with a black apex. Abdomen with a white transverse band at the posterior edge of each joint. Wings 
with white markings. Forewing: two spots in the centre, the first near the base; an irregular distal band of 
4 spots and 2 dots; a submarginal band formed of 8 dots; fringes speckled brown and white. Hindwing: a 
spot near the base, a distal band of three spots and a submarginal band like in the forewing; fringes white. 
Forewing beneath at the costal margin whitish with almost the same markings as above. Hindwing beneath 
greenish fawn-coloured, at the hind-margin broadly white and with the same markings as above.“ Expanse 
about 26 mm (1 in. 1 1 in.). Tajora (in French Somali-Land).
