T. flavistrigata llphps. (11 ]i). Thorax pinkish brown, abdomen brownish ochreous. Forewing flesh- 
colonred, pink at the base, dark brown at tlie inner margin. Sometimes also quite dark l)rown, except at the 
costal and flistal margins. Ckrstal margin yellowish. A pale yellow band from the middle of the cell to the 
distal margin and streaks above veins 6 and 7. Hindwing pale yellow. S]>ecimens which 1 take to be jlavi- 
st)i(jafa exhiint no brown stri])e at the inner margin of the forewing, hut traces of a wdiite line in the submedian 
fold. 2(5—30 mm. East Africa. 
T. lirieata Joann. Thorax pink, abdomen whitish-grey. Forewdng pink, inner-marginal area brownish. 
A narrow^ wdiite band through the cell, somewhat broader white behind the cell, extending between veins 5 
and 6 to the margin, where it is narrow'er. Costal and inner margin finely wdiite. Vein 1 and the other veins 
in the marginal area indicated Avhite, and so are short streaks betw^een the veins. Hindwing wdiitish. ^ 23 mm. 
Up])er Guinea. 
T. margarita Le (Jerf. Thorax pink, abdomen yellowdsh wdiite. Forewdng pink wdth 3 golden yellow 
s]iots. The first helow' the liase of the cell; a median triangular one at the cell-end; the last, being also tri¬ 
angular, from the ajiex to helow' the middle of the second at vein 2 and ending at the anal angle, dentate in¬ 
side at veins 2, 3 and 4. Hindwdng pale golden yellow. (J 14 mm. Uganda. 
T. flavocarnea Hmps. (11 h). Thorax reddish ochreous, abdomen brownish ochreous. Forewdng golden 
yellow. Costal-marginal area and vein 1 w ith ])ale ])ink stripes. The median vein and the marginal veins pink 
and wdute. Fringe ])ink. Hindwing yellowdsh white, brownish below' and behind the cell. In the (J, the light 
stripe begins only behind the cell, the hindwing is of a jmrer white. 26—30 mm. Abyssinia, Togo. 
T. flaviceps Hmps. (11 h). Purely wdute, only the head orange yellow'. Abdomen ochreous at the end. 
Fringe of forew'ing orange at the apex and anal angle. Apex of hindwdng orange. (J 24 mm. Niger. 
T. hololeuca Hmps. (11 h). Body brow-nish wdiite. Wings silvery wdiite, only the costal margin of the 
forewiiig somewhat brown. 24 mm. Abyssinia, occurring also in India. 
T. albipuncta Hppps. Antennae of serrate. Body and forewdng ochreous wdth a heniochrome or vio- 
lettish red marking. Costal margin finely red. A faded red interior line extra-angular in the sub median fold, 
and a dot behind it. A small spot in the centre of the cell, the luna at the cross-vein strangulated. A faded 
sulmiarginal band with white dots behind it. Red marginal dots. Hindwing w'hite, yellow at the margin. 
26 mm. North Rhodesia. The original figure is very different from this description. 
4. Geims: Aclisiira Moore. 
Altogether very similar to the genus Tirnora. It differs from the latter and all the geiuune Meliclep- 
triinae in the absence of the claws on the anterior tibiae. Nearly all the species exhibit a scheme of markings 
similar to those of the 'Z’imora-species. Type; athinsoni Moore from India. 
A. atkinsoni Moore (11 i). The species is typically distributed in North India and China. Thorax grey, 
abdomen l)rown. Forew'ing grey, brown at the inner and distal margins, but not at the a])ex. The costal- 
marginal area and the distal margin itself pink in the typical form. In the form —■ leucanioides Moore, occurring 
in India as w'ell as in East Africa, the costal margin is not ]hnk, the distal margin yellow. Interior line marked 
l)y 3 black dots, the exterior row of dots is bent far inw'ards at the costal and inner margins. Dark traces of 
a ring-macula and reniforni macula. Hindw'ing ochreous, broadly dark at the margin, especially at the anal 
angle. 3(J^—^4(1 mm. 
A. straminea H-mps. (11 h). Body and forewing pale straw-coloured. Costal margin narrow'ly w'hite. 
Somewhat paler places in, below^ and behind the cell and at vein 3. Indistinct black dots l)ehind the upper 
cell-angle, and a curved exterior row' of dots. Hindwing white, straw'-coloured at the margin. 24 mm. Ngami 
Land, 1 $ also found in India. 
A. aerugo Fhlr. (Hi). Thorax apple-green in front, brown behind, abdomen orange. Forew'ing applegreen, 
narrow ly browuiish ochreous at the costal margin, 3 wdiite dots near the a])ex. Cross-vein black, submarginal 
dots W'hite. There may be also an exterior line beginning and ending vertically to the cross-vein, around wdiich 
it is excurved, more slanting above the inner margin. Hindwing orange, a black marginal band only at the 
apex in the continued to vein 1 in the $. 24—26 mm. South Africa. 
A. affinis Eothsch. differs on the forewing from atkinsoni in its deexier red-brown dusting. The exterior 
line is coherent, not composed by single dots, and extends from the middle of the inner margin to vein 6 near 
the distal margin, forming an oblicpie line. The distal third of the hindw'ing is intensely blackened. North 
Nigeria. 
A. callinia B.-Bak. Thorax dove-coloured grey. Forew'ing pink, costal and distal margins more inten¬ 
sely red. Behind the cell a triangular, dee]i straw-coloured spot with faded edges. Hindw ing jiale yellow', darker 
yellow' at the margin, w'ith a brow'u spot at the apex. $ 28 mm. West Africa.
