T. albilineata Hmps. Antennae of only dentate. Body pale reddish. Wings pale reddish, scantily albilineata. 
strewn in a darker colour. A slanting whitish line from below the costal margin far beyond the centre extends 
to the centre of the inner margin, inside bordered by a somewhat darker colour. A rather broad, slightly curved 
whitish subterminal line. Hindwing pale reddish. Expanse: 26 mm. Mashonaland. (Unknown to me.) 
T. albiviata Hmps. Body reddish with a slight whitish admixture. Forewing reddish-brown, with a alkinata. 
faded blackish-brown line which is bordered with whitish on both sides, from below the apex to the centre of 
the inner margin. Hindwing red-brown, basally pale yellowish. Under surface yellowish, at the margins red- 
brown. Expanse: 28 mm. Cape Colony. (Unknown to me.) 
T. aurifrcns Beth.-B. Head and prothorax gold orange, the rest of the body dark red-brown. Forewing aurifrom. 
in the basal half paler red-brown, outside purple brown, both the areas separated by an oblique dark line. An 
undulating dark line from before the apex to the margin at vein 4, tornus below it red-brown. Hindwing purple 
brown. Expanse: 28 mm. Malanga, West-Africa. (Unknown to me, it may be identical with Phorma pepon 
Karsch (75 b).) 
T. lineapunctata Beth.-B. (73 h). Body and both wings pale pinkish brown. Forewing with an oblique Uneapunc- 
dark median transverse line traversing the cross-vein and being distally bordered with white. From the costal 
margin directly before the apex almost to vein 3 an undulating line of small fused dots. Apical half of marginal 
area clouded dark, the lower median area finely dusted with reddish-brown, so that likewise indistinct clouds 
are produced, the basal area dusted the same. Expanse: 26 mm. Angola, Cameroon. Ivory Coast. The species 
may be better placed to Omocena. 
T. chloris Fawc. (73 h). Likewise quite similar, perhaps also identical with Phorma pepon (75 b), but chloris. 
in the cell-end with a white dot, at the subterminal line 2 whitish dots between veins 2 and 3, one outside at 
the postmedian line, the other inside at the subterminal line. Hindwing red-brown, basally somewhat ochreous. 
Expanse: 30 mm. Ashanti. (Unknown to me.) 
T. perseis Fawc. (73 h). Red-brown, thinly dusted with blackish. At the cell-end a white dot. A perseis. 
strongly undulate postmedian line outside bordered with greyish-white extends from the apex to the inner 
margin, near which there are large blackish spots in the middle and above the inner margin, being also indi¬ 
stinctly continued towards the distal margin. Subterminal line blackish, in front broader, outside bordered 
with whitish. Hindwing ochreous, in the $ greyer. British East Africa, Uganda, April. 
T. undosa Fawc. (73 h). Forewing in the basal half red-brown, distal half brownish ochreous, at the undosa. 
cell-end a black dot. A dark oblique undulating postmedian line; a curved subterminal line as far as the tornus. 
Hindwing brownish ochreous, with a brown marginal line. Kedai, in December. (Unknown to me.) 
T. catori Beth.-B. Body and wings brown, forewing with a pale, somewhat excurved postmedian line Mori. 
which is inside bordered with dark, the area towards the margin being paler. Subterminal line dark, curved. 
The whole wing is finely irrorated with a pale grey, owing to semi-erect pale scales with dark tips. Hindwing 
somewhat paler brownish. Expanse: 22 mm. Nigeria. (Unknown to me, probably identical with Omocena 
syrtis (75 b).) 
T. serrata sp. n. (73 e). Forewing brownish-grey, with a strongly notched antemedian transverse line serrata. 
from the cell to the inner margin, divergent to it posteriorly a likewise notched line from the centre of the costal 
margin to the inner margin before the tornus, parallel with it a notched subapical line. At the cell-end a black 
dot. Hindwing grey. Cameroon. (J-tvpe from Bagiri (May) in the Berlin State Museum, also from the Uam 
District. 
25. Genus: Parailiosca Auriv. 
Palpi long, falcately turned up, appressed to the frons, almost reaching to the base of the antennae, 
the last joint long and conical. Antennae of <§ as far as the tips bipectinate. Thorax in front with a hair-tuft, 
abdomen at the base with 2 tufts of scales. Hind tibiae with 2 pair of spurs. In the fore wing veins 4 and 5 
separated or from the same place. 7 9 stalked. In the hindwing 6 -|- 7 stalked. 8 connected with the cross- 
vein at or behind the centre of the cell. 
P. perillgueyi Auriv. (73 i). Thorax and forewing dark brown, with a leaden reflection. Postmedian peringueyi 
line strongly dentate, black. It is followed by a lighter area which is more or less dusted with yellowish ochreous 
and grey and which is defined towards the margin by an undulating subterminal line being double in the inner- 
marginal half. Postmedian line from 3 / 4 of the costal margin to % of the inner margin. Hindwing greyish reddish. 
Fringe very broad, with a yellow basal line, that of the hindwing before the margin with a whitish line. Under 
surface brown, veins yellowish, hindwing in the anal portion extensively yellowish. South and German 
East Africa. 
P. torniplaga sp. n. (73 i). Forewing violettish brown, with a round flesh-coloured spot at the inner tomiplaga. 
margin before the tornus, a very oblique velvety black, strongly notched transverse line through the cross¬ 
vein. at the latter a whitish reniform macula; a broad whitish submarginal band parallel to the margin, the
