1. In £ there is a brush of hairs on underside of hindwings at inner 
margi n. 
T. callichlora Wkr. (40 c). Forewings pale green with fine yellow striations. White at base Avith delicate 
red edge. At base of vein 2 a white dot. Hindwings brownish white. In $ there is a reddish spot at % of 
costa and a large one at base of vein 2. The brown marginal band incurved behind the cell and on submeclian 
fold, with diffuse yelloAv inner edge and a few white marginal dots. 32—38 mm. Sikkim. 
T. magniplaga Warr. Forewings dark green with delicate pale striations. Basal spot similar to calli¬ 
chlora. At 1 o of costa a large reddish spot, heavily edged with brown. There is an oblique reddish double spot, 
thickly outlined, from the lower angle of cell to close to nervure 1. At margin a few reddish spots with broAvn 
surrounds that merge at nervure 5. Hindwings white, hairs at inner margin tinged AAfith brown-grey. In $ 
costa and spots are chocolate-brown, margin as in callichlora, but the dots are reddish, not white. — In the $ 
the reddish spots are occasionally larger and paler, with rusty brown surrounds. Sikkim. 
T. tenuimargo Drc. (40 d). Very close to callichlora. The <$ differs by a red spot at base of nervure 2; 
outer margin is narrowly red. In the $ the spots do not vary, but the red outer margin is as narrow throughout 
as it is at apex in callichlora. 30 mm. Assam. 
In the following species, apex of forewings is acutely pointed, outer margin is straight and hindwings generally some¬ 
what smaller. 
T. falcata Wkr. (40 d). The species is easily recognisable by the green foreAvings, that are devoid of 
markings and with brown and white costal line. — In the form walkeri Strd. the costa is yelloAvish. — In literata 
Wilem. from Formosa, there is an oblique brown spot on disco-cellular. 25—30 mm. — Sikkim, Formosa, China 
(compare also Vol. 3, p. 295). 
T. elongata Warr. ForeAvings more extended than in the palaearctic falcata (Vol. 3, pi. 53 h), the outer 
margin is more oblique, yellowish green, costa delicately white and without dark dusting. Hindwings white 
Sikkim. 
T. marina Warr. ForeAvings dark green, gradually changing to pale yelloAv-green towards the margin. 
Costa narrowly brown. A white spot at base, brown scales on inner margin near the base, a dull broAA'n spot 
at loAA r er angle of cell to the submedian fold. HindAvings white. One q from Borneo. 
T. pustulifera Wkr. (40 d). Forewings dark green, costal line brownish. At base of Avings a small Avhite 
dot Avith red surround. HindAvings pure white. The $ has a yellow dot with red edge under the lower angle 
of cell and occasionally a further brown dot below. - flatoides Mr. (40 d) has an irregular triangular brown spot 
on forewings from lower angle of cell to inner margin. Wing contour and colouration remind one of certain 
green C'icades of the Genus “Flatus”. — 36—42 mm. Nepal. Sikkim, Assam. 
T. flavitegulae Rothsch. ForeAvings brilliant green, basal third lilac broAvn and yellowish wooden grey. 
A rusty red spot at apex. A wdiite dot Avith red ringlet at base and next to it on inner margin a white streak 
with a red dot. Hindwings small, w r hite inclined to yellowish rose. The $ has a large and a small orange-velloAA- 
spot at end of cell of forewings. Hindwings are normally large. $ 40, $ 45 mm. Sumatra. 
T. carneicilia E. Prout. This resembles the previous species. In $ costa of foreAvings is still more boldly 
curved, 1 i indwiiigs are still shorter. Fringes of forewings are pale chocolate-brown. In and $ there are 2 oblique 
conjoined spots belovv the disco-cellular. These are paler in the + darker chocolate-brown in + q 44, 9 35 mm. 
Sumatra. 
2. Hin d w ing of ^ without the b r u s h o f h a i r s. 
T. chloroleuca Wkr. (40 d). ForeAvings dark green, a small yelloAv spot at base. Small broAvn dots before 
and behind the loA\ r er angle of cell. HindAvings Avhite. — In lancina Btlr. these dots are absent. — In speculatrix, 
Btlr. (40 e) there is a larger yellowish spot above and beloAV each of the broAvn dots. 24—30 mm. — Sikkim 
Bhutan. 
13. Genus: Earias Hhn. 
The 2nd segment of palpi stout and long, the 3rd short. Antennae of $ finely ciliate. Tibiae normal 
and thinly hairy. Forewfings broad. Vein 3 Avidely removed from 4 and 5, 6 from upper angle of cell, 7 + 8 -f 9 
stalked. On hindwings vein 3 + 4 Avith short stalk, 5 is absent. Type: clxlorana L. from Europe. Most of the 
species are indo-australian, the Genus is not nearly so well represented in Europe and Africa. 
1. Palpi av i t h 2 n d s e g m e n t hairy posteriorly at ex t r e m i t y. In £ the 
m i d d 1 e tibiae av e 11 hair e d in front and behind. The first species are y e 1 - 
Ioav. the later ones are green. 
E. novogumeana B.-Bak. (40 e). The rich orange-yelloAV colouration is very striking. The inner line ind¬ 
icated by 3 delicate brown dots. A large black spot at disco-cellular. The outer line consists of dark dots, out¬ 
wards to nervure 5, then parallel to the margin. Hind wings yellowish white, transparent. 30 mm. NeAv Guinea.
