Mas. Subcervino-cinerea ; palpi pubescentes, oblique aseendentes 

 verticem superantes, articulo 3o lanceolato ; alee anticte sub- 

 pur pur as centes, nigro conspersce^ lineis duabus basalibus 

 cinereis atro submarginatis, macula intermedia trigona atra,

Male. Cinereous, with a slight tinge of fawn-colour, pale 

 cinereous beneath. Palpi pubescent, obliquely ascending, rising 

 higher than the vertex; third joint lanceolate, shorter and more 

 slender than the second. Antenna? selulose. Abdomen hardly ex- 

 tending beyond the hind wings; apical tuft very small. Fore 

 wings acute, minutely black-speckled, with a slight purple tinge ; 

 two cinereous lines near the base ; the first near the costa, and the 

 second along most of the length irregularly bordered with deep 

 black ; a triangular deep black spot on the interior border between 

 the lines ; two large brown ringlets in the disk ; the second with 

 two black points on its border, connected with the hind side of the 

 first ; a straight oblique submarginal band composed of four lines, 

 of which the first is cinereous, the second ferruginous, the third 

 ochraceous, the fourth blackish, broader than the others and festooned 

 on its outer side, where it is accompanied by elongated blackish 

 points; under side and hind wings seneous-cinereous, the latter 

 with a band like that of the fore wings traceable near the interior 

 angle. Length of the body 9 — 10 lines; of the wings 22 — 24 

 lines. 



Nearly allied to R. latipes, from which it may be distinguished 

 by the exterior line of the fore wings.
