B. Hindwing above almost monotonously red-brown or dark greyish-brown, at the distal margin rather darker than 
lighter; fringes not or but very narrowly whitish. T. concavum. 
II. Distal margin of hindwing not emarginated (concave). 
A. Distal margin of hindwing between the veins 2 and 7 quite or almost straight, at vein 7 and the anal angle somewhat 
prominent. T. polydora. 
B. Distal margin of hindwing entirely rounded off. 
f. The light transverse lines of the forewing are at least partly distinct. 
*. The distal light transverse line of the fore wing between the veins 8 and 10 distinctly bent, towards the 
margin convex. T. repandum. 
**. The distal light transverse line of the forewing between the veins 8 and 10 quite straight. 
1. Hindwing above monotonously fawn-coloured or red-brown without a light transverse band, at the anal 
angle at most with some whitish hairs. T. carinatum. 
? T. rufarium ._ 
2. Hindwing above white or whitish with a broad dark marginal band and a dark marginal spot in 1 c and 2; 
at the hind-margin broadly white. T. diplocyma. 
ff. The proximal light transverse line of the fore wing is entirely absent and the distal one is very fine and only noticeable 
between the costal-margin and vein 4; it is quite straight between the costal margin and vein 7. T. uniforme. 
Table of the $ 
I. The light transverse lines of the forewing above at least at the costal margin distinct. 
A. The distal light transverse line of the forewing is almost straight, beginning near the apex of the wing and ending at 
the centre of the anal margin. The proximal transverse line is absent, or only distinct at the costal margin. Hindwing 
above yellowish fawn-coloured without markings. T. butiti. 
B. The distal light transverse line of the forewing is more or less sinuate and bent; the proximal line at least at the 
costal margin distinct. 
f. Hindwing above monotonously dark, just as dark as the forewing, uni-coloured without markings or with a light 
median transverse band, rarely lighter than the forewing, grey or light grey, but in the latter case the light distal 
transverse line of the fore wing is distinctly bent towards the margin between the veins 8 and 10. 
*. The distal white transverse line of the forewing is at the anal margin just as thick and distinct as at the 
costal margin, between the costal margin and vein 6 quite straight. Hindwing above with a fine light cross¬ 
band. T. misanum. 
**. The distal white transverse line of the forewing is finer and more indistinct at the anal margin than at the 
costal margin. 
1. The distal white transverse line of the forewing at the costal margin somewhat thickened and bent towards 
the base, between the veins 8 and 10 towards the margin convex. 
a. Hindwing above monotonously fawn-coloured or red-brown with or without a light median band. The 
transverse lines of the forewing at the costal margin about 7 to 8 mm separated from each other. 
T. carinatum. 
b. Hindwing above violettish-grey or at the base whitish-grey. The transverse lines of the forewing at the 
costal margin about 10 mm separated from each other. . T. repandum. 
2. The distal white transverse line of the forewing at the costal margin not thickened, between the costal margin 
and vein 6 quite straight. T. polydora. 
tt- Hindwing above in the basal portion white or whitish. The distal light transverse line of the forewing between 
the costal margin and vein 7 quite straight. Abdomen above whitish. 
*. Head, collar, and mesodorsum as well as patagia red-brown. 
**. Head, collar, and mesodorsum grey; only the patagia yellowish-brown or red-brown. 
1. Larger, expanse of wings about 67 mm. Marginal band of hindwing above broader. 
2. Smaller, expanse of wings about 50 mm. Marginal band of hindwing narrow. 
II. Forewing above uni-coloured red-brown without transverse lines and only with a white basal dot.

T. rufarium B.-Bak. is unknown to me. The description is not sufficient to insert the species in the 
table. Palpi above grey, beneath red-brown. Head and collar grey; thoracal dorsum reddish, patagia deep 
rust-brown. Abdomen above reddish, beneath grey. Forewing above dark reddish grey with a white basal dot 
and outside of them with an oblong yellowish rust-coloured spot which near its distal end is interrupted at 
the cell by the basal portion of the proximal white transverse line being almost vertical to the anal margin, 
and which is continued behind the cell to the costal margin. A small rust-coloured spot at the end of the 
discal cell. The distal white transverse line is deeply angled between the veins 1 and 3 and then continued
