costa, and bounded by the black inner line, which is slightly excurved at median nervure; the rest of wing 
fuscous black glossed with grey; orbicular stigma an ochreous white dot slightly defined by black; reniform 
lunulate, ochreous white, its centre blackish; outer line from an ochreous costal spot, slight, black defined 
outwardly by ochreous scales, outbent below costa, minutely waved, and incurved below vein 4; terminal 
black dots inwardly marked with ochreous; hindwing white tinged with ochreous especially terminally; fringe 
white. Recorded from Karachi, Sind and from Gooty, Madras. 
T. albinigra spec. nov. (27 e). Forewing white, the basal third with an olive yellow flush; subbasal line 
grey, interrupted; inner line double, waved, grey, outwardly toothed on median vein; a grey cloud at middle 
of costa; reniform denoted only by its black lateral edging, followed by an olive grey cloud before outer line; 
outer line blackish edged with white, outbent at costa,vertically waved to vein 3, along which it runs up 
to below the reniform, then preceded to inner margin by a wavy edged blackish band; area beyond slaty 
mixed with blackish; the subterminal line Avhite, preceded below costa by two black teeth; a whitish blotch 
at middle of termen; a terminal line of black striae; fringe white with grey patches below apex and at tornus; 
hindwing grey, towards termen fuscous brown; tips of fringe white; underside of forewing luteous tinged with 
fuscous, darkest in terminal half; hindwing luteous with dark curved outer line and terminal border; a dark 
cell dot with a dark smudge on costa above it; head and thorax white; palpi externally and dorsum fuscous 
grey. 2 $9 from Gooty and 1 9 from Cuddapah, Madras. Type in the Tring Museum. Seems to come nearest 
to rujitincta Hmps., but that has the head dark. 
T. disrupta spec. nov. (27 e). Resembles sexpunctata, but the inner edge of the dark terminal area 
in the $ is distinctly but minutely angled inwards on median vein; the 9 is deeper coarser brown; the basal 
area broken up by ochreous, often strongly at costa; the second costal blotch has its edges produced across 
wing as irregular lines, sometimes the blotch itself is produced as a band, and a yellowish interrupted 
subterminal line is often visible; stigmata sometimes dark and conspicuous, often blurred. Hainan, where it 
appears to be very abundant. Type in Tring Museum. 
T. gagites spec. nov. (27 e). Fore wing ochreous; a subbasal yellowish olive cloud connected below 
with an inner olive band curved or angled at middle; an oblique outer purplish band externally edged with 
fulvous and followed by a rufous fulvous subterminal band; terminal area paler; fringe pale with dark 
blotches below apex and at tornus; the whole often obscured by dull suffusion; hindwing hyaline luteous with 
darker veins and terminal border; underside of fore wing fuscous, the costa and inner margin ochreous; hind¬ 
wing ochreous with two dark costal smudges, a cell spot, and narrow terminal border; head, thorax, and dorsum 
ochreous mixed with olive, the face and tegulae purer. 2 from Dili, Dutch Timor, May 1892 (Doherty). Type 
in Tring Museum. 
T. hemiglauca Hmps. (27 f). Forewing grey tinged with olive green, the postmedian area purplish 
except towards costa; inner line olive green, indistinct, diffuse and curved; orbicular and reniform stigmata 
grey, round, ill-defined; outer line indistinct, with a whitish costal mark beyond it, then defined by fuscous 
lunules on inner side, becoming a broad shade below cell, excurved above and incurved below 4; subterminal 
line indistinct, whitish defined inwardly by dentate rufous marks, minutely waved, inangled on cell fold; a ter¬ 
minal series of black dots, except towards apex, inwardly defined by a white line; fringe whitish, with dark 
middle line and a dark patch beyond cell fold; hindwing whitish suffused with red brown, especially on terminal 
area. Described from a 9; the $ has the basal half of fore wing dirty whitish and the terminal a cloudy mix¬ 
ture of olive and rufous. The Nilgiri Hills, Madras. 
The types of the 3 following species being lost, their true position must remain doubtful. 
T. costistigma Walk. Fore wing Avhite, with a brownish olive costal dot near base and Avith two simi¬ 
lar costal spots beyond; terminal area brown tinged with glaucous and varied with black and ferruginous, inclu¬ 
ding the white subterminal line, the brown area widened along inner margin; orbicular stigma absent; reniform 
with black border; a i’oav of black terminal lunules; fringe dark with two or three Avhite patches; hindAving 
whitish Avith slightly aeneous borders; described as from N. India, probably a <$, though the sex is not stated. 
T. inexacta Walk. 9 Forewing whitish with blackish speckling, Avith black terminal dots and four blackish 
patches; the first patch ante median near inner margin, the second near end of cell, the third costal before apex, 
the fourth on termen; hindAving Avith broAvn cellspot and broad brown terminal border. Arabia.
