only deeper yellow; the forewing beneath has a broad dark submarginal band beyond the large blackish reni- 
form, and the area above and below the cell slightly darker; hindwing wholly yellowish; head, thorax, and ab¬ 
domen all yellow; the face brown. Also in the Tring Museum from North Territory, South Australia (Tunney). 
C. confundens spec. nov. (28b). Forewing ochreous, overlaid with pale yellow brown or reddish grey 
and dusted finely with blackish; inner and outer lines indicated by dark vein spots; a pale stripe along cell 
from base to termen, with a dark brown diffuse streak below it along median vein and sometimes a dark 
streak above it towards termen; a row of large black terminal spots; fringe concolorous; hindwing paler, with 
a diffuse fuscous border along termen beyond an outer line of vein points; fringe whitish; underside of fore¬ 
wing dull grey, of hindwing paler; head, thorax, and abdomen grey; face browner. A good series from Sumba 
and 1 $ from Dili, Dutch Timor, taken by Doherty in 1896 and 1892. The insect greatly resembles Raghuva 
perstriata Hmpsn. from India, but the foretibiae possess the two spines characteristic of Canthylidia. Through¬ 
out the genus the second of these two spines is smaller than the first and appears apt to become obsolete. 
7. Genus : Timora Walk. 
Tongue well developed; frons with rounded protuberance and corneous plate below it; palpi shortly 
porrect, fringed with hair below; antennae of ciliated; thorax and abdomen without crests; foretibiae short 
and broad, with only a long curved claw on inner side at extremity arid a short claw on outer; mid and hind 
tibiae spined; fore wing elongate; usually of bright pink or yellow coloration, without stigmata or transverse 
markings. A genus mainly of Indian or African species. Type T. senegalensis Guen. 
T. dora Swinh. $ Forewing deep ochreous yellow, thickly covered with long brown scales; 
costal area pink; a small, ill-defined, yellowish spot at end of cell surrounded with brownish suffusion; an 
oblicpie brown mark from apex, joining an indistinct curved subterminal series of brown spots on the veins; 
hindwing pale ochreous; in the ^ the dark fuscous tints are replaced by diffused red markings; — in the ab. 
semifusca (= ab. 1 Hmps.) the basal half of hindwing is suffused with fuscous, which extends in the 
form of streaks along the veins towards termen. The typical form from Khandalla, Bombay, S. India; the 
aberration from Belgaum, Madras. The species differs from all the following in having veins 3, 4, and 6, 7 
stalked. 
T. decorata Moore (28 b, Vol. 3, pi. 51 a). Forewing pale straw yellow; broad pink streaks along each 
fold to termen, connected at base ; inner line indicated by white points on median nervure and vein 1; an oblique 
pink band from apex to vein 1, with a series of white points on it from 6 to 1; fringe pink; hindwing 
straw yellow, sometimes, but rarely, with traces of an outer pink band. An Indian insect occurring in the Punjab, 
Calcutta, the Deccan, Madras, and Burma, also in Kashmir. 
T. sinuata Moore (28g). Forewing golden yellow, with copious redbrown suffusion; inner and outer 
lines rufous, indistinct; the inner angled outwards below cell and inwards on median vein and vein 1; the outer 
dentate, bent outwards below costa, excurved to vein 4, thence oblique; terminal dots black; a faint lunule 
on discocellular; hindwing pale yellow, more or less suffused with fuscous, with faint dark cell mark and curved 
outer line. Bombay. 
T. aureola Walk. (= curta Swinh.) (28 h). Forewing pale golden yellow, more or less completely suffused 
with flesh pink; a diffuse fuscous streak on median nervure and vein 4 to near termen; a pale fascia in 
cell fold from middle of cell to termen, with a blackish streak above it from termen towards upper angle of 
cell; sometimes there are traces of a curved outer series of black points on the veins; terminal dots black; 
hindwing whitish, faintly brownish tinged, with black terminal points. Poona and Mhow, Bombay; Kanara 
and Belgaum, Madras. 
T. sanguinolenta Moore (28c). Forewing golden yellow; the costal edge whitish; the whole costal 
area fiery red, emitting a streak along vein 6; a fiery red streak along median vein, radiating beyond cell 
along veins 2, 3, 4; a diffuse streak along vein 1; a more or less distinct outer row of black points, excurv¬ 
ed to vein 4, then oblique; fringe yellow with a red tinge; hindwing yellowish white; head and thorax yellow 
tinged with rufous. Bombay.
