a darker marginal area and transverse line. Natal. — In fuscata R. & J. the body and wings are much darker, fuscala. 
blackish-grey in the ground-colour, the margin of the forewing distinctly dentate. British East Africa. 
T. camerounensis Clark. Similar to rattrayi, forewing narrower, the brown costal-marginal triangle camerou- 
acute-angular on the distal side, the triangle more contrasting with the ground-colour, the white line which 
borders on it towards the apex is lighter and at the costal margin broader. Expanse: 40 mm. Cameroon. 
T. atrofasciata Holl. (= umbrina Rothsch.) (65 f). Forewing violettish-brown, with an oblique darker atrofasciaia. 
discal band which is broad at the costal margin and in the 2 fills up the whole apical portion, leaving free only 
a lighter zone below the apex. Sierra Leone to Ogove. 
T. rattrayi Rothsch. Thorax above with a dark median line. Basal half of forewing defined as in the rattrayi. 
former species (but by a grey, posteriorly curved line), but it encloses a basal spot, a double, in front curved 
transverse line; at the tornus an indistinct brown spot, the interspaces tan-coloured or lead-coloured; the 
oblique band distally defined by a grey line, at the costal margin 4 mm broad, posteriorly narrowed, with 2 
black dots before and behind vein 6, situate close at a black marginal area which extends in front to beyond 
vein 6. Apical area much paler, similar as in the following species. Hindwing dark brown with a posteriorly 
more distinct dark submarginal line. Expanse: 70—80 mm. Uganda. 
T. zantus H.-S. (= dorus Bsdv., excisa Wkr.) (65 f). Forewing violettish-brown, the olive apical area zantus. 
separated by a dark brown oblique band. The nominate form from South Africa shows this apical area almost 
straightly defined towards the base. Hindwing beneath light brown, without a distinct median transverse 
line. In the East-African race: curvilimes subsp. nov. (65 f) the apical area of the forewing is convexly defined curvilimes. 
towards the base, hindwing beneath with a distinct black median line ($ type from Mikindani in the Zool. 
State Museum of Berlin, also a $ from Dar-es-Salaam); — apiciplaga Karsch (65 f). from Uganda and Cameroon, apiciplaga. 
shows the forewing similarly defined as in the preceding, apical area very light, ochreous olive, under surface 
more.red-brown, in the hindwing the median line is intensely black, behind it 2 distinct discal lines. 
T. brunnescens Clark is presumably nothing else but a rather monotonously brown form of zantus. brunnescens. 
Western Pondoland, South Africa. 
T. wollastoni R. & J. Similar to zantus, forewing with numerous undulate or dentate transverse lines, wollastoni. 
a spot-like subbasal band, an antemedian costal-marginal spot and a slanting discal band dark brown; the latter 
reaches to the margin at the end of vein 2. Before the apex a spot a the costal margin and one below it, margin 
similar to that of zantus. Hindwings similar to those of the preceding species. Upper Congo. 
T. natalis Wkr. ( — natalii Bsdv.). Margin of forewing in front deeply indented, dentate, with very natalis. 
slanting antemedian lines which are straight and only at the costal margin curved; a large discal spot at the 
costal margin and 2 sagittiform submarginal spots black. Size as in the preceding species. Natal. 
T. erato Fawc. (65 g). Similar to natalis, but much smaller. Expanse: 50—60 mm. British East Africa, eraio. 
T. stigma R. <£• J . Similar to the preceding ones, forewing more regularly dentate, not deeply indented stigma. 
between veins 4 and 6. Grey, mesothorax black. Forewing with a small black stigma. Discal lines very oblique. 
The black oblique band is expanded towards the tornus into a large triangular spot. Hindwing grey, dusted 
with blackish-brown. The blackish submarginal band indistinct. In contrast with natalis, the forewing lacks 
the double antemedian line, the large dark spot is situate here at the tornus. Expanse: 56 mm. Abyssinia. 
T. hoi land i Clark. Forewing similar as in wollastoni, at the centre of the costal margin with a dark hollandi. 
triangle which is continued from vein 4 as a broad line to the margin. Basally to it the ground-colour is light 
olive green, traversed by darker lines. At the base of the wing and at the tornus light blue scales. From the 
costal-marginal triangle towards the apex a light blue area, in front 4 mm broad, narrowed towards vein 4, 
containing two dark lines. The apex itself is brown, feebly dusted with light blue. Hindwing dark brown, at 
the tornus a light brown, spot dusted with blue. Body brown, under surface richly red. Abdomen on each 
segment with 2 black dots and a bluish-white margin. Fringes of both wings yellow. The most magnificently 
coloured species of the genus. Expanse: 54 mm. Only 1 $ known from Cameroon. 
T. spiritus Holl. (65 g). Similarly marked as plagiata, but very much paler, ochreous yellowish olive, spiritus. 
costal-marginal spot olive brownish. Hindwing umber-brown, postdiscal area quite pale. Forewing easily 
discernible from plagiata by the truncate apex. West Africa. 
T. avinoffi Clark (65 g). Allied to wollastoni. Before the apex a coherent brown spot. Apical area avinoffi. 
otherwise predominantly violettish-grey, basal area olive-brown, partition-line proximally edged with a paler 
colour. Cameroon.
