13. Genus: Teragra Wkr. 
511 
Forewing with an oblique distal margin. Vein 6 from the upper cell-angle, 7 + 8, 9 and 10 from the 
apex of the accessory cell. In the hindwing veins 6 and 7 from the same place or separated. Vein 8 as far 
as to the centre of the cell beside it. Type: conspersa Wkr. 
I. Antennae of $ very long combed. In the hindwing veins 6 and 7 almost 
from the s a m e place. 
T. ochreicosta n. sp. (78 i). Thorax reddish brown. Forewing at the base and costal margin ochreous ochreicosta. 
with dark streaks. % From hardly to more than % of the inner margin a red-brown band to the apex. The 
margin itself is also narrowly red-brown with yellowish-w r hite marginal streaks. Type in the submedian fold 
below the base of vein 2 somewhat white. In the cotype which was chosen for the figure a streak upwards 
and feeble scales downwards at vein 2. Abdomen and hindwing brown, somewhat spotted. 26—28 mm. 
Senegal, Togo, Niger District. Type in the Berlin Museum, cotype in the Tring Museum. 
T. basiplaga n. sp. (78 i). Similarly coloured as ochreicosta. In the cell of the forewing a short thick basiplaga. 
red-brown streak, its continuation sharply inward to the inner margin near the base, above it in the cell a 
lighter streak. Behind it between vein 1 and the submedian fold also lighter. From the costal margin near the 
apex to the inner margin an inwardly sharply defined line somewhat more oblique than the distal margin, 
behind it darker brown. Abdomen and hindwing reddish brown. 28 mm. Gold Coast. fuscoradiata /. n. 
Only the costal margin broadly lighter ochreous brown, at the distal margin brown stripes between the lighter 
veins. This faded form is more common. Gold Coast. Both the types in the Tring Museum. 
T. simillima Hmps. Similar to Met. obliqualinea. Body rusty brown. Forewing yellow and rusty simillima. 
brown, especially at the costal margin and in the cell. Interior line fine, double, dark, undulate. Before it a 
black dot under the cell. Behind and below the lower cell-angle dark brown. Vein 2 whitish. The exterior line 
is fine blackish, proceeding from the apex, excurved at vein 5 and incurved above vein 1. Margin somewhat 
blackish brown with black marginal lunae. Hindwing yellowish white. $ 22— 24 mm. East Africa. 
T. Simplicius Le Gerf. Forewing dull greyish yellow, only at the base more densely dusted with brown. Simplicius. 
elsewhere less so . Traces of an exterior line being incurved behind the cell. At the margin a distinct undulate 
dark line. Hindwing paler, without markings. $ 21 mm. East Africa. insignifica /. n. (78 i). Thorax and insignifica. 
forewing dark red-brown. Exterior line hardly recognizable, the undulate marginal line distinct though without 
points at the veins as is the case in simplicius. Abdomen and hindwing little lighter. $ 30 mm. Togo. — clarior. 
clarior /. n. (78 i). Pale red-brown. Traces visible of an exterior line being strongly inbent behind the cell. 
Marginal line absent. $ 28 mm. Adamaua. Both the types in the Berlin Museum.

II. Antennae of <$ short-combed. Veins 6 and 7 of hindwing from the same 
place. 
T. umbrifera Hmps. Body and forewing greyish red-brown. An interior and a double median line umbrifera. 
brown, oblique, undulate. The latter filled with red-brown. Exterior line angled below the costal margin, then 
almost straight, whitish. Behind it a triangular red-brovm spot as far as vein 2. Before the margin black lunae. 
Hindwing greyish-brown. 42 mm. Sierra Leone. 
T. angulifascia n. sp. (78 i). Dark greyish-brown, thorax particularly dark. The black interior line is angulifas- 
vertical, somewhat notched, connected with a black ring below vein 2. At the inner margin black bows. At 
the costal margin near the apex black spots. Exterior line sharply angled at vein 5. Before and behind it at 
vein 2 fine white dots, outside on its whole length broad black stripes. Before the margin dark rings. Abdomen 
and hindwing lighter, greyish-brown, q 24 mm. Sierra Leone. Type in the Tring Museum. 
T. quadrangula n. sp. (78 i). Violettish-brown. On the forewing a light interior line, at the median vein quadran- 
sharply angled outward, inside dark-edged. At the end of the cell a rectangular dark red-brown, light-edged 
spot. Close behind it a fine white median line, projecting inward at vein 2. The space between the tw r o lines 
somewhat greyer. Exterior line white, somewhat outwardly angled at vein 5. Abdomen and hindwing equally 
coloured. $ 24 mm. East Africa. Type in the Tring Museum. 
T. tristicha Hmps. Body and forewing light rusty red. By the 4 white dots below vein 2 similar to tristicha. 
M. cymaphora. At the costal margin black dots. In the lower cell-end a rusty red black-edged stripe, as far as 
the likewise black-edged discal spot. An interior and a median undulate black line from the centre of the wing 
to the inner margin. A similar line before the margin. 
T. trimaculata sp. n. (78 i). Thorax and forewing olive brown. Costal margin light with a few dark trimaculata 
spots. Marking darker olive brown. A basal band obliquely inward, composed of 4 spots, the two middle ones 
being larger. An almost semicircular spot at the upper cell-angle and a somewhat triangular spot below the 
end of vein 2. The latter spot inside white-edged, at vein 2 with 4 and at the inner margin with 3 white spots.
