The following species, known only from the females, could 

 not be included in the above key: R. bryanti Johns.' (Eastern 

 U. S.), probably allied to maciilata, but in its wing pattern suggest- 

 ing members of the domeslica group; deflection of Cui unusually 

 far distad. It is a large, vigorous species, quite distinct from any 

 others that I have seen. R. tabescens End.'" (Western Brazil) 

 has a \\\ng pattern very much like bryanti. It is quite impossible 

 to state with certainty the exact position of this insect.
