Behind it in the blackish spots, in the $ larger crescentiform ones. Margin dusted with dark. Hindwing 
with a rather indistinct notched median and exterior line, marginal spots larger. 70—85 mm. South Africa. 
T. sabulosa Bothsch. Similar to a flavinata dusted with red-brown. Eyespot with a hyaline spot sabulosa. 
margined with brown. Interior and median lines as in flavinata, but the exterior line slightly excurved at the 
costal margin. Behind this line more densely dusted, but without submarginal spots. On the hindwing the 
exterior line is likewise excurved at the margin. 85 mm. East Africa. 
T. lupina Bothsch. Ochreous brownish-reddish. Forewing with 3 brownish-red lines. Interior line lupina. 
as in flavinata. Median line straight through the eyespot, on its inside slightly dentate. The exterior line also 
straight, meeting the median line at the inner margin. The eyespot is a round hyaline spot margined with red- 
brown. On the hindwing a curved broad median line and traces of an undulating exterior line. $ 100 mm. 
Congo. Perhaps a local form of Pseud, vulpina. 
T. hanningtoni Btlr. Sulphureous. Interior line of forewing absent. Eyespot and median line as in hanning- 
flavinata. Exterior line as in lupina. On the hindwing only a median line is indicated at the anal margin. lom 
cJ 88 mm. Central Africa. 
T. songeana Strd. is perhaps identical with hanningtoni. In the A on the forewing only at the costal sangeana. 
margin traces of the interior line, in the $ one of a normal intensity. Median line slightly excurved around 
the eyespot which consists of a hyaline spot and a dark brown ring inside dusted with grey. Exterior line 
hardly undulated, in the at the costal margin quite indistinct, in the $ slightly incurved. Distal area in the 
$ with spots as in flavinata. Hindwing of A without markings, light yellow, in the $ with 2 lines and a row 
of spots. — juncta Strd. (57 a) is a $ in which the median line touches the eyespot. 75—85 mm. East Africa, juncta. 
Tanganyika. 
? T. flavivitta Wkr. Yellowish-white with a somewhat violet reflection, slightly dusted with reddish, flavivitta. 
The marking consists of 3 brown zigzag lines and a faded median band. Eyespot with orange and black. Fore wing 
with a produced apex and a straight brown exterior line between the second and third zigzag line. Natal. 
Omitted by Distant in his work on Transvaal Insects, owing to the uncertainty of the position of this species. 
16. Genus: I*selapliel!a Auriv. 
Imagines very similar to the genus Tagoropsis. Antennae of d and $ with fine and long pectinations. 
Palpi very long, upturned over the frons. Apex of forewing slightly taperingly produced. Veins 5 and 6 separated 
afar, 7 + 8 stalked, veins 9, 10 and 11 absent, 8 directly after the separation from 7 very much bent to the 
costal margin. 
Type: gemmifera Btlr. 
P. gemmifera Btlr. (57 b). Ground-colour ochreous, at the costal margin of the forewing as far as gemmifera. 
the centre dusted with brown and white. Interior line brown, introangular on the median vein. Eyespot of 
a very variable size. The round hyaline spot has orange-yellow, black, pinkish-white rings. Median line notched, 
at the costal margin strongly incurved. Exterior line straight from the apex to beyond the centre of the inner 
margin, before it at the apex whitish-grey. In the marginal area often yet a row of intense spots. From the 
base to the centre of the exterior line a broad brown band extends. On the hindwing the apical line is 
continued to the centre of the anal margin, sometimes forming a bow around the eyespot, since the eyespot 
varies as much as on the forewing. Behind it a notched line with the points outside and eventually a row of 
spots or dents before the distal margin. Some specimens are also intensely dusted with umber-brown. 70—80 mm. 
Sierra Leone to East Africa. 
P. dentifera M. W. (57 a) is just as variable. Distinguished by the absence of the thick radial dentifera. 
stripe. — • conspersa Aur. is only a small distinctly marked specimen of it. 60—75 mm. East Africa, Delagoa conspersa. 
Bay. An umber-brown $ shows traces of a radial band, so that dentifera can probably not be maintained as 
a species. 
17. Genus: Cerauchia Btlr. 
Antennae of $ and $ fourfold pectinated, in the $ somewhat more feebly, otherwise the same. Hereby 
distinguished from Heniocha. Veins 5 and 6 little or not separated, 7 + 8 stalked, 10 free. 
Type: apollina Btlr. 
C. apollina Btlr. (57 c). White. Wings somewhat diaphanous. Costal margin, distal margin, and apollina. 
veins on forewing blackish-brown, with an indistinct interior band. Hindwing white, eyespot also white, distal 
margin narrowly blackish-brown. 100—115 mm. Madagascar. Cocoon reticulate, with a silvery gloss. 
C. reticolens Btlr. (= mucida Saalm.) (57 c). <+ Forewing densely dusted with dark, veins pure reticolens. 
black. Eyespot orange-yellow with a black ring. Interior and exterior bands somewhat more parallel, the
