marginal area violettisli ])rown. The wliite part extends at the costal margin as far as the snbmarginal line and then 
oldiquely to the lower cell-angle and vertically to behind, the middle of the inner margin. 4 feeble gi'eyish-brown lines 
at the base. The ring-macula and reniform macula are small greyish-brown rings, similar spots above them at the 
costal margin. SomeAvhat white at the distal margin above the anal angle. Hindwing white, narrowly brown at the 
margin. The $ shoAvs behind the basal lines a greyish-broAvn band in the costal-marginal area, so that a AA'hite 
sjAot around the reniform macula is isolated. Hindwing more brownish. 24 mm. Angola, East Africa.

base. Ring-macula and reniform macula finely edged AA-ith grey, black spots above them at the costal margin. 
JMarginal area Auolettish-grey. At vein 6, the basal area enters pointedly into the marginal area, extends close 
round the reniform macula, recedes pointedly betAA'een it and the ring-macula, then vertically to the middle 
of the inner margin. A dark median line from the reniform macula to the inner margin. Exterior line of black 
spots in the dark marginal area. 8ubmarginal line of interrupted AA-hite streaks. HindAA’ing pale orange. $ corre¬ 
sponding to apatelia-’^ Avith a dark band on the foreAAung. 22—26 mm. South Africa. 
basifci-a. T. basifera Whr. (15 g). Thorax AA^iite, abdomen broAvnish. Forewing Avhite at the costal margin, the 
rest of the AA'ing oliA^e broAA'ii, encircling the reniform macula, AA'ith an angle in front before and behind the ring- 
macula, then doAA'ii to the base. A triangular spot before the ring-macula at the costal margin, and a small 
one outside of it. The macula small, encircled by black. The exterior line is a thick dark streak at the costal 
margin. Sidnnarginal line Avhite, dentate, distinct only above the anal angle. HindAving broAAmisli AAdnte. 
forcAA’ing dark oliAm broAvn, the tAA'o spots at the costal margin are fused. Hind.AAdng someAAdiat darker. 16—19 mm. 
Senegal, otherAA'ise only knoAvn from India. 
zcJhri. T. zelleri WUgrn. (= imitatrix, transfigurata A tinctilis Wllgrn.) (15g). Thorax and forcAA'ing AA'hite 
AA'ith a greenish lustre. Dark olive green spots before the ring-macula, sometimes connected beloAV it Avith the 
marginal area. Ring-macula and reniform macuda formed, by distinct black rings, a blackish median line be¬ 
tween them as far as the inner margin. Wedge-shaped spots at the costal margin on both sides of the reniform 
macuda. Marginal area dark olive green, containing a line of AAdiite scales, strongly bent iiiAvards beloAV vein 2. 
Greenish AA'hite at the margin. HindAA'ing Avhite, diaphanoAis, narroAA'ly broAvn at the margin, qiiite broAA’ir in 
the $. 17—20 mm. Throughout Africa. 
marmnra- T. marmoralis Fahr. {= tropica Guen., maculosa <{■ bipunctata WAt.). This species distributed in the 
SAinda Islands, in C'hina and India is also knoAA'ii from Up])er Egypt, but it may be still farther distributed in 
Africa. Ground-colour yelloAA'ish Avhite AA'ith an olive broAvn distal area. The latter projects betAA’een the ma- 
cudae as in hyperlophia. 8xd)marginal line as far from the margin and shaped as the line of AA’hite scales 
in zelleri, light behind it. 20—24 mm. 
rjc/iiasiis. T. rachiastis Hmps. Body and forcAving yelloAvish Avhite. An interior and a median fine broAA’ii band, each 
from a dark spot at the costal margin, the latter blackish below the cell. Exterior line parallel AA'ith the median line, a 
black s})ot behind the cell, far imvards at vein 3, then formed of black lunaetothe centre of the inner margin. Violet- 
lu’OAA'n behind it, a fcAv yelloAA’ish AA’hite spots at the margin. HindAving yelloAA'ish Avhite, narroAvly dark at the 
margin. The $ is more yelloAV, the ring-macida and the reniform macida recognizable. 18—20 mm. Aldabra. 
gratiosa. T. gratiosa Wllgrn. ( = luteola Saalm.). Body and foreAving orange AA'ith a greenish reflection. YelloAV 
at the costal margin as far as behind the reniform macTila, at the inner margin as far as the middle. The rest 
of the AA'ing dark reddish l)roAA'n, yelloAV at the apex and the nndflle of the distal margin. 3 blackish spots at the 
costal margin at the base, from the middle one the interior line proceeds, extending in the cell across a black dot. 
The ring-macula is a black dot, the reniform macida a black ring. Close behind it the olive broAA'ii beginning of the 
exterior line. Submarginal line fine yelloAA'. HindvA'ing orange, narroAA'ly margined AA'ith black. The $ is dark 
violettisli broAA'ii on the foreAA'ing. A large yelloAA' spot in the middle of the costal margin, on either side of it a smaller 
one. Submarginal line and marginal spots as in the A- Hindwing dark orange, the black margin broader. 18 
to 2d mm. West, South and East Africa, Madagascar. 
micropfera. T. microptera Mah. ( — naevulosa Saalm.) (15 g). Body dark broAA’ii. ForeAA’ing greyish AA'hite. NarroAA'ly 
broAA’n at the costal margin, an oblicpie broAA’n blotch from before the middle of the costal margin. The ring- 
macula and the reniform macula are small black s])ots. Marginal area dark broAA'ii, its border behind the middle 
of the inner margin vertically almost to the cell, AA'here it turns someAA'hat distally. Exterior line black, dentate,

dish broAvn. $ 22 mm. Madagascar.

yelloAV area is bordered by a black line extending obliquely to vein 6, then bent imvards. Abdomen and hindAA'ing 
reddish-broAvn. Y 15 mm. Sudan.

of the inner margin and at the costal margin almost to the apex, Avhere it is obtiisely cut off. Distal area dark 
chocolate. Abdomen and hindAA'ing orange. prothorax bluish-black, the rest of the body orange. ForeAving
