cell-end and at the cross-vein. Fine white streaks at the veins in the marginal area. Hindwing white, s(jme- 
what yellowish towards the inner margin. ^ 36 mm. East Africa. 
T. albirosea Arulr. Prothorax yellowish, the rest of the body white. Forewing very similar to that 
of fJavirosea, but white below the cell, also behind it, where it rises obliquely to the apex. Hindwing Idackish, 
white only at the inner margin. 30 inm. Eritrea. 
T. disticta Hmps. (11 g). Body ochreous, prothorax pink. Forewing pale ochreo\is. Costal-marginal 
area as far as the middle of the cell of a bright pink colour. Orange below the cell from the base to the middle 
of the cell. A broad pink hand at vein 1, the inner margin itself orange. White dots in the middle of the cell 
and at the cross-vein. Fringe pink. Hindwing white. 34 mm. Basuto Land. 
T. albisticta Janse. Thorax and forewing greenish greyish-yellow, abdomen creamy yellow. Forewing 
pink at the costal margin, the inner margin also pink, but not at the base. An exterior row of white dots 
from veins 7 to 2, small in front, larger and oblicpiely arranged behind. White dots at the median vein and 
above the inner margin. Fringe pink. Hindwing light greyish-brown. 28—-31 mm. Transvaal. 
T. perrosea Joann. Somewhat different owing to the shortly pectinated antennae of the cJ, veins 3+4 
on the hindwing are stalked. Body and forewing grejdsh yellow. A pinkish-red band above the median vein, 
gradually widening from the base to the margin, where it reaches almost to the apex and to vein 2, with a 
few white dots on it, most of them at the median vein and vein 4, one at the upper cell-angle. Besides two 
short pink streaks at the base at the costal and inner margins. Hindwing whitish, somewhat blackish at the 
ends of the veins. ^ 18 mm. Upper Guinea. 
T. lanceolata Wkr. (11 g). Thorax pink, abdomen brownish white. Forewing silvery white, golden 
yellow only at the base, or also entirely golden yellow. Costal margin pinkish grey; inner margin pink, some¬ 
times also yellow or white, fringe pink. Hindwing white, more or less brownish. Fringe pink. 22—32 mm. 
West, South and East Africa. Besides also in Central America and India. According to Aukivillius, galathea 
Wallgr. is a prior name for this species. 
T. vittulata Auriv. Body and forewing white or yellowish-white. A short apical band above veins 
7 and 8, and a sidnnedian band before the distal margin, both pink. Fringe white, red only in the submedian 
fold. Hindwing purely white. The $ shows narrower bands extending to the base. 24—27 mm. Sudan. 
T. nigrolineata Auriv. also resembles lanceolata. The red band at the costal margin of the forewing is 
defined inside by a black line reaching neither the base nor the distal margin. The band is pale, whitish as far 
as the middle. Fringe pink. Hindwing purely white. In the 2 the red costal-marginal stripe reaches vein 7 
outside. 28 mm. Sudan. 
T. rubristria Hmps. (11 h). Body brownish ochreous. Forewing whitish, with yellowish-brown streaks 
at the costal margin and the veins, the median vein red, the streak at vein 6 hifurcates at the margin. Hind¬ 
wing white. The veins, the costal and inner margins brownish. ^ 24 mm. Niger. 
T. multistriata B.-Balc. Thorax brownish grey, abdomen yellowish grey. Forewing creamy. The lower 
half of the cell and a little below it carmine, which colour is continued almost to the margin between veins 4 
and 5; shorter red below vein 2. Broad pearl-white above the red principal stripe from the middle of the cell 
to the margin, the same colour below it on the whole length of the sid^median fold. Vein 6 finely red above. 
Inner margin broadly reddish. Hinclwing silvery white. (J 26 mm. Lokoja. 
T. umbrifascia Hmps. Thorax dark greyish-brown, abdomen lighter. Forewing light red-brown. A 
dark brown band in and close below the cell as far as the distal margin, enclosing a white band from the middle 
of the cell almost to the margin in the discal fold. Marginal area dark brown. Hindwing white,' brown at the 
margin and at the ends of the veins. $ 34 mm. Niger. 
T. rosea Gaede (11 h). Similar to the Indian terracotta Hmps. Thorax and forewing pink, abdomen 
whitish. A narrow yellowish white streak in the sabmedian fold from the base to beyond the centre. A simi¬ 
larly coloured broader streak from the middle of the cell to the distal margin, printed at the ends. Lighter yellov'- 
ish -white above veins 3, 4 and 6 before the margin. Hindwing of (J white, of $ somewhat pink in the distal 
half. 28—30 mm. Transvaal, East Africa. 
T. terracottoides Bothsch. Similar to the Indian terracotta Hmps., but different in the groud-colour 
which may be dark greyish-brown, umber-brown, olive-yellow, or chestnut-broAvn. The streak above Amin 1 
is very strong as in rosea, besides sihmry marginal dots on the forewing. HindAving creamy Avhite, dusted dark. 
North Nigeria. 
T. transvaalica Dist. (11 h). Thorax pink, abdomen yelloAAdsh-Avhite. ForeAving pink, the veins broAvn. 
A broad yelloAvish-white stripe in the submedian fold from the base to the margin, a similar one in the cell, 
others betAveen the veins. HindAA'ing white. J 32 mm. Transvaal. 
T. daphaena Hmps. is very similar to transvaalica. The end of the median vein on the forcAving and 
the beginning of veins 3 and 4 are AA'hite. The stripe in the submedian fold as in transvaalica , but the other 
stripe begins only at the cell-end. Besides a light streak above Amin 6, and less distinct ones not mentioned 
in the description at the other veins. HindAving Avhitish-ochreous, pink at the margin. 34 mm. North Rhodesia.
