TIMORA. By M. Gaede. 
lOf) 
C. xanthiata Wkr. (11 f). Thorax and forewing olive yellow, inetaihorax and forewing at the inner 
margin more reddish, abdomen brownish ochreous. The indistinct brown interior line on the forewing is extra- 
angular below the cell. The ring-macula and reniform macula are small round spots in red-brown surroundings. 
• A red-brown spot at the costal margin before the reniform macula, below the latter an obsolete 8-shaped median 
line to the inner margin. Exterior line dentate, vertical as far as vein 5, then incurved to the inner margin near 
the median line. Faded red-brown behind it, especially towards the apex and anal angle. Hindwing whitish, 
margin very broadly black. $ 34 mm. Natal, Ruaiida. 
C. flavescens Janse. Thorax and costal margin of forewing reddish yellow, abdomen creamy white. 
Forewing light brownish yellow, the lines dark red-brown. The interior line begins with a triangular spot at 
the costal margin, then imdulated to the inner margin. The median line begins also with a costal s]jGt, then 
as a fine shadow to the inner margin. Ring-macula small, indistinct, incompletely margined. Reniform macula 
large, round, greyish-brown, edged blackish-brown, a spot above it at the costal margin. A small triangular 
spot behind it is the beginning of the fine dentate exterior line, with black dots at the veins, on the outside 
of these dots there are sometimes white scales. A large triangidar spot in the siibmarginal area at the costal 
margin. Hind wing creamy yellow, darker at the margin. Discal luna indistinct, an exterior row of dark spots. 
33 mm. Natal. 
C. conifera Hmps. Thorax brownish white, abdomen yellowish-brown. Forewing whitish brown and 
darker brown, whiter in the disc. Interior line black, punctiform, obliquely outwards as far as the submedian 
fold. A conical black spot from the middle of the costal margin includes the reniform macula which is edged 
light and from which an indistinct oblicpm line extends to the inner margin. Traces of a dark exterior line, 
and a dark submarginal line. Black lunae at the margin. Hindwing yellow, blackish brown at the base and 
margin; the discal luna also blackish brown, 2 light marginal spots in the marginal band. ^ 30mm. Transvaal. 
C. flavigera Hmps. is presumably allied to flavescens. Body yellowy the thorax and the base of the 
abdomen somewhat pink. Forewing yellow, somewdiat greenish. Costal margin red-brown, also a spot at the 
base. Interior line represented by a red-brown blotch at the costal margin, and traces of an uncUdate line. Coni¬ 
form macula discernible at its point. Ring-macula with a fine brown dot and edge. Reniform macula grey 
in the middle, edged with red-brown and brown, adjoining to a brown spot proceeding from the costal margin. 
Exterior line very indistinct, finely undulated. Submarginal line with a browm triangiilar spot at the costal 
margin, then indistinct. Hindwing yellow, traces of a discal luna, and an undulate submarginal band which 
is broader at the apex. (J 32 mm. Rhodesia. 
C. posttriphaena Rofhsch. Thorax and forewing olive grey, abdomen dark orange. Forewing with a 
dark olive grey exterior band edged greyish-yellow inside. Marginal line red-browm. Hindwing dark yellow 
with a very broad black submarginal band. 30 mm. Madagascar. 
3. Genus: Tiiiiora Wkr. 
Proboscis normal, palpi porrect, short, hairy below. Frons with a round projection and a horny plate 
below it. Antennae of ciliated. Anterior tibiae short and broad, with strong claws as in Raghuva. Wings 
oblong, neuration normal. Type; senegalensis Guen. 
T. metarhoda Drc. (11 f). Thorax and forewing yellowish-green, abdomen reddish ochreous. Forewing 
finely white at the costal margin. From the base one pink band each at the median vein and below it, with 
white dots at their ends indicating an interior line. A pink spot at the cross-vein and an exterior band enclosing 
white dots. Hindwdng pink, paler at the base. $ 26 mm. Gambia. —■ buchanani Rofhsch. differs in yellowish 
white hindwings. — Sometimes with a dark marginal band; — continuata Grunbg. The exterior red band on 
the forewing may be very narrow. 19—24 mm. North Nigeria, South-West Africa. 
T. leucosticta Hm.ps. (Ilf). Pale ochreous. Prothorax somewhat pink. Forewing with a broad pink 
band below the costal margin and a pink line at vein 1. White dots indicate the interior line at the median 
vein and vein 1. An exterior band of pink spots, excurved to the apex, with white centres. Hindwing with 
pink fringe at the apex. ^ 26 mm. East Africa. — The form; continuata Gri'mbg. occurs also in this species. 
Hindwing with a rather distinct, irregular submarginal band. The hindwing is mostly yellow in both sexes, 
sometimes also uniformly grey in the $. 
T. decorata Moore, according to Rothschild, occurs also in North Nigeria. That may be, since leuco¬ 
sticta is probably only a later described form of decorata which is widely distributed in India. The latter differs 
in the absence of the two white dots at the inner margin of the forewing. 
T. joiceyi E. Prout. Thorax pink, abdomen whitish. Forewing whitish in the basal and marginal areas. 
Costal margin, inner margin and median area broadly hued with pink. An interior and exterior line of white 
dots on the veins. The interior row bent, the exterior one obliquely from near the apex to % of the inner 
margin. HindAving whitish, probably somewhat darker at the margin. 28 mm. Congo. 
T. albiseriata Drc. (11 f). Thorax and forewing pale browmish ochreous, white at the costal margin. 
A pink band at the base of the median vein and below it as far as 2 obliquely arranged dots at the median
