straight, only below the costal margin feebly curved, the posterior one encircles, almost in the shape of a 
quadrangle, the crescentiform, white cell-end macula, projecting the farthest towards the margin on the lower 
radial vein. The small heaps of scales of a blue lustre. Expanse of wings: 25 mm. Several from Pacho 
(Colombia) in the Coll. Fassl. 
R. stictigramma Dogn. (32 f). Forewings white, dusted with a reddish ochreous yellow and strewn sticii- 
with black; an anterior row of black dots doubles towards the proximal margin; above the cell-end there is gramma. 
a black spot at the costal margin, as well as at the base; behind the cell there are besides 2 double rows of 
dots, and before the margin a third. The white liindwings, being brownish towards the costal margin, 
likewise exhibit a postmedian row of black vein-dots. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Colombia. 
R. nepheloleuca Hmps. (32 g) is very similar; on the forewings the space below the cell, in the cell-end nephelo- 
and behind it remains purely white; the posterior transverse line is white, only at the proximal side marked 
by black dots; before the margin white streaks. Hinclwings white, towards the margin brownish. Expanse 
of wings: 24 mm. Venezuela to Peru. 
R. semicrema .spec. nov. (32 g) greatly approximates the preceding, different by more intense cinnamon- semicrema. 
coloured dusting along the whole costal margin and in the marginal area; the whole surface of the wings, moreover, 
is strewn with rusty brown scales; only the apex of the wings remains light whitish; marking otherwise 
similar, the black subterminal spots thicker. Hindwings dark brownish-grey. Expanse of wings: 19 to 24 mm. 
A number of specimens in both sexes from Colombia and Bolivia. -— A from Bolivia I for the present consider 
to be a form of this species: apiciplaga form. nov. (32 g). The cinnamon colour is here confined to a large sub- apiciplaga. 
apical spot, the costal margin remains more extensively white, the marking is finer; everything else is the-same. 
R. pulverea Dogn. (32 f) is a very large species of a slender structure, on the white forewings dusted pulverea. 
yellowish-brown and strewn with black; anterior traiisverse line double, in the cell behind it a small heap of 
dark scales; in the middle of the costal margin a dark spot with 2 black dots and two below it; the posterior 
transverse line consists of minute, fine black teeth; undulate line faded dark; fringes speckled. Expanse of 
wings: 34 mm. Colombia. 
R. metaleuca Hmps. (32 g) on the greyish-brown forewings, exhibits white dusting at the costal metaleuca. 
margin, in it 2 velvety black spots at the base and in the middle; the posterior transverse line is broken up 
into dots. Hindwings of a pure white with a small median dot and a line beyond it, in the $ dark brownish- 
grey. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. Costa Rica, Colombia, Bolivia. 
R. godalma sp. nov. (32 g). This greatly distinguished species resembles metaleuca. The ground of godalma. 
the wings is quite purely lustrous olive-brownish; all the black dusting or spots are absent except the two large, 
jet-black costal-marginal spots; costal margin and transverse lines purely snow-white, hindwings white with 
a brownish discal spot and margin. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. 1 pure $ from the Quindiu Pass (3500 m) in 
the Coll. Fassl. 
R. decepta Schs. (32 g) is much smaller and more purely white, strewn with a dark brown, towards decepta. 
the margin darker brown, the other marking entirely like in godalma. Expanse of wings: $ 12 mm, $ 18 mm. 
Costa Rica. 
R. medioscripta Schs. (32 h) is grey with a long, black costal-marginal spot at the base and a broad, viedio- 
slightly bent black median line which proceeds from a triangular costal-marginal spot; anterior transverse tenpin.. 
line very indistinct, the posterior one broken up into dots. Expanse of wings: 22 mm. Mexico (Orizaba, Jalapa), 
Costa Rica, Colombia (Quindiu), Bolivia (Rio Songo). — In a specimen from the Quindiu from the Coll. Fassl: 
basifusca form. nov. (32 h) the whole basal area as far as the median line is coloured dark brown. basifusca. 
R. excelsior spec. nov. (32 g) is a magnificent species resembling basif usca in the scheme of markings, excelsior. 
Head silvery white, thorax yellow mixed with cinnamon-brown. Basal half of the forewing lustrous straw- 
coloured, at the costal margin brownish and defined from the silvery white marginal area by 2 red-brown, 
! uniformly rounded parallel lines. The marginal area is traversed by a double, sharply dentated black post¬ 
median, the two lines of which are twice as far remote from each other below the 2nd median vein, as they 
are above it; the very pointedly dentated subterminal band extends almost to the slightly brownish 
marginal area, in which there is besides a very regular dentate line close in front of the brown fringes parted 
by a white line. Hindwings white, towards the margin behind the faint postmedian line tinged grey. Expanse 
of wings: 21 mm. Some specimens from Colombia (Canon del Tolima) in the Coll. Fassl. 
4. Genus: Melania Wkr. 
More than a dozen members of this genus being distributed in the whole world, have hitherto become 
known to us from America. As to the diagnose we refer to Vol. II. We simply state here, that the species 
are distinguished from the other genera by the subcostal being only 3-branched, only the uppermost branch 
and the two lower ones being present. The uppermost radial vein comes from below the upper cell-angle.
