Wings subhyaline ; a brown stigmal spot ; veins pale brownish yel- 

 low. Venation (see Plate IX, figure 6) almost as in R (Sacandaga) 

 flava Alex. 15 but the cross-vein m, here, is much longer. 



Abdominal tergites yellowish brown, sternites paler, yellowish. 



Holotype, male, Coroico, Bolivia, in the Hungarian National 

 Museum. 



From R. (R.} ostensackeni Skuse 16 (Australia) it dif- 

 fers in the much greater length of the antennae which is here 

 more than four times as long as the body, in ostensackeni not 

 quite twice as long. ' From the members of the subgenus 

 Sacandaga, it differs in the elongate male antennae. The dis- 

 covery of a member of this subgenus in the New World is of 

 exceptional interest.
