murina. T. murina Wkr. (= tyrrhus Esdv.) (65 d). Hindwing as in inornata ; forewing bluish-grey, with a more 
indistinct dark median shadow, a double postdiscal line, a spot below the apex, and a distinct double antemedian 
line. South Africa. 
grandidieri. T. grandidieri Btlr. (65 d). Similar to murina , under surface more grey than cinnamon-red, abdomen 
beneath with 2 rows of white dots. Tornus of forewing more produced, at the inner margin near the base a 
dark spot. Fringes behind with 2 white dots. Hindwing dark brown, fringes rather pure white. Madagascar. 
amaqua. T. naniaqua R. & J . (65 d). Forewing with an oblique discal band, towards the lighter basal portion 
distinctly, towards the darker distal portion indistinctly defined. Hindwing rusty red, purer than in murina, 
with a dark brown marginal band. South West Africa 
stcvensi. T. stevensi R. & J . (65 e). In the forewing the slanting discal band is on both sides indistinctly defined, 
terminating into the tornus, the fringe between veins 2 and 4 above white. Sierra Leone. 
subapicalis. T. subapicalis R. & J . (65 e) is quite similar to marginata, but the upper surface of the tibiae less 
white, the forewing with a more projecting apex, in the centre with a broader brown band, the space between 
the 2nd and 3rd discal lines at the costal margin filled with less dark; at the costal margin before the apex a 
dark spot. Hindwing darker, unicoloured brown. British East Africa. 
ncphelc. T. nephele Clark is quite similar to subapicalis , but greyer, the apex of the forewing less pointed. Expanse: 
42—46 mm. Cameroon, Spanish Guinea. 
marginata. T. marginata Wkr. ( — brunnea Rothsch.). Upper surface of tibiae white. Margins of abdominal segments 
laterally blackish beneath. Forewing dark reddish-grey with an oblique discal transverse band and 2 discal 
lines. Hindwing red-brown, with a blackish marginal band. Nominate race with the light grey discal line zigzag- 
comorana. shaped (Cape Colony); — in comorana R. & J. this line is straight, the brown marginal area below the apex 
somewhat more extensive. Comoro Is. 
argyropeza. T. argyropeza Mob. (65 e) differs from marginata in the white-scaled first palpal joint and posterior 
tibiae, in the presence of a grey stigma in the forewing and a posteriorly more slanting discal band. Madagascar. 
leighi. T. leighi Jord. Wings as in fumosa peckoveri, but the apex more produced, the margin less convex; 
markings as in the latter, but both wings paler, the fore wing greyer, the antemedian band more curved. Marking 
at and before the margin less distinct. Comoro Is. 
funebris. T. funebris Holl. (65 e) differs from marginata in the more elongate forewing with a more slanting 
margin, the discal band being proximad less distinctly defined. Old Calabar to Gabun. 
angulosa. T. angulosa R. <£ J . Forewing as far as the disc unicoloured red-brown, this colour being distinctly 
defined on the disc, so that a basal-discal area is produced being expanded before and behind vein 4 and 
indented on the veins at the margin; from there to the margin fawn-colour enclosing a brown line which is 
almost parallel to this area, united with it behind vein 3. Margin twice indented, on vein 5 strongly angular. 
Forewing unicoloured dark brown. Expanse: 64 mm. Congo. 
fumosa. T. lumosa Wkr. (= fallax Rothsch.) (65 e). Forewing elongate, in the £ with more distinct markings 
and bands than in the $, with a lilac grey dusted spot at the costal margin and often below the apex at the 
margin. Hind wing dark brown. In the nominate race from West Africa the body beneath is light brownish 
peckoveri. and the wings are narrow, whereas in peckoveri Btlr., from Madagascar, the Comoro and Seychelle Is., the body 
beneath is darker brown, and the wings are broader. 
albilinea. T. aibilinea Rothsch. In the contours of the wings the same as fumosa, the margin below the apex less 
indented. Forewing brown, with 2 feeble brown bands before the centre and one behind it, separated by grey 
interspaces. Discal area brown, distally bordered bv a curved white line; from here towards the margin two 
brown lines convergent with the white one behind. From the apex a brown double oblique streak. At the 
vbscuras- margin a white cloud. Hindwing unicoloured dark brown. Angola. — In obscurascens Strd. (65 e) the forewing 
ecus. - g darkened, as far as the white line almost unicoloured, distally to it lighter. German East Africa. 
sardanus. T. sardanus Wkr. (= uniformis Rothsch.) (65 f). Margin of forewing at vein 5 strongly projecting, 
forewing dark violettish brown, with an oblique, posteriorly curved discal band, brown antemedian and discal 
lines and a brown marginal area below the apex. Hindwing unicoloured dark brown. Stigma a small white 
dot. Sierra Leone, Togo, German East Africa. In West Africa probably more distributed. 
plagiala. T. plagiata Wkr. (= dicanus Bsdv., confusa Wkr., maculata Rothsch.) is easily recognized by the dark 
olive quadrangular or five-cornered costal-marginal spot of the light grey forewing, which is behind cut off by 
a rust-brown longitudinal patch. 'The other transverse markings dark brown. Hindwing reddish-brown, with
