T. elegans Rothsch. (65 g). Forewing bluish-grey, markings sharp and distinct, hindwing of a bright 
brownish red colour with a black marginal area, body hued with red-brown. Sierra Leone to Cameroon. — 
In polia Rothsch. the body and the under surface of the wings is greyer, the markings in the fore wing often 
more hazy, hindwing duller brown. Angola, German East Africa. 
T. nitida Jord. Similar to elegans, the margin of the fore wing not dentate, the oblique discal band from 
the centre of the costal margin to the termen below its centre, at the end broadly expanded shadow-like to 
the tornus, towards the margin defined by a pale line; below the apex an olive crescent. Expanse: 52 mm. 
Madagascar. 
T. palpalis R. & J. (65 g). Similar to crenulata, more cinnamon-brown above, antennae somewhat 
longer, apex of fore wing more roundish, the oblique discal band not edged with a paler colour towards the 
margin, proximad more distinctly defined. In the hindwing analwards a distinct postdiscal line. Easily 
recognizable by a white line on the first palpal joint. Madagascar. 
T. crenulata Hold. (65 g) is discernible from the similar sardanus by the sharp oblique discal band being 
behind edged with pale and by the dentate hindwing, from the zantus-veices by the pointed apex of the forewing. 
Sierra Leone, Cameroon. 
T. curtula R. <k J. Forewing grey with a brown oblique discal band which proximally passes over 
rather indistinctly into the grey ground-colour, being distallv darker and distinctly defined. On its outside 
below the costal margin a black, sometimes lustrous spot, distally indented and bordered with brown. 
Margin below the apex feebly emarginated, brown, at vein 4 angular and from there dentate. Before the tornus 
3 black dots, towards the base a black double line. Hindwing dark brown, at the tornus and near the margin 
shaded with grey, with an ochreous spot before the tornus. Expanse: 42 mm. LTganda. 
T. reutlingeri Hold. Forewing grey, with a narrow oblique brown discal band which is sharply defined 
towards the base, and a brown costal-marginal spot before the apex. Hindwing dark brown. Cameroon, Gabun. 
T. cinereofusca Strd. (66 a). Similar to reutlingeri., the discal band of the forewing broader, proximad 
indistinctly bordered with a lighter colour, apex somewhat less produced. Discernible from subapicalis by the 
greyer forewings. Spanish Guinea. 
T. scitula Holl. (66 a). Forewing violettish-grey; dark brown are: a curved and interrupted antemedian 
line, a subbasal spot, an oblique discal band, a spot before the apex and before the tornus, and a marginal 
spot below the apex. Above the tornus and between veins 4 and 5 one yellowish-white spot each. Hindwing 
dark brown, in the discal area lighter red-brown. West Africa. 
T. eranga Hold. Similar to scitula, the forewing lacks the white spot between veins 4 and 5, the discal 
oblique band is behind narrower, and the spot at the tornus almost 7-shaped. Sierra Leone. Ogove. 
T. iapygoides Holl. ( = preussi Karscdi) (66 a). Forewing similar to the preceding ones, but without 
any white marking; hindwing more extensively red-brown, with a blackish-brown marginal area. — The form 
clementsi Rothsch. is very much paler, the forewing brownish grey, hindwing reddish ochreous. Sierra Leone 
to Ogove. 
T. stevensoni Clark is allied to the following ones, separated from pylas by the first and second discal 
lines not being filled with brown; from pylades by the margin of the forewing showing a distinct dent on vein 7, 
and the marginal band of the hindwing being broader; from pseudopylas by the dent at the termination of vein 
7 of the forewing being feebler, the under surface being brown, not mixed with yellow. Separated from all the 3 
species by the grey instead of brown ground-colour of the forewings. Expanse: 40—45 mm. Rhodesia, Belgian 
Congo, Nyassa Land, Tanganyika. 
T. pylas Cr. (66 a). The double antemedian line of the forewing is filled with dark, hindwing yellow, 
in the marginal region red-brown, towards the anal angle turning darker. Natal, Cape Colony. 
T. pseudopylas Rothsch. (= brisaeus Bsdv.) (66 a). Antemedian line of forewing not filled with darker, 
costal margin of hindwing near the base extended into a projecting lobe, the black marginal band of the hindwing 
towards the base broadly bordered with rusty brown. In the nominate form the darker marginal area is defined 
by the postdiscal line, both wings beneath abundantly mixed with yellow. South and East Africa, Abyssinia. 
In latimargo R. db J. the rusty brown marginal area traverses the postdiscal line towards the base, the under 
surface of both wings with but few yellow scales. Comoro Is. 
T. pylades R. & J. (66 a). Costal margin of hindwing almost straight, without a distinct lobe, ante¬ 
median line of forewing not filled with dark, marginal area less red-brown than in the preceding ones, at the 
termination of vein 7 no distinct dent. Natal, Cape Colony. 
T. leptis R. db J. (66 b). Forewing altogether darker, the band of the hindwing unicoloured blackish- 
brown, very much broader than in the preceding species. Sierra Leone, Cameroon.
