bordered with white are at the anal angle and above it; morula is without the white vein-dots at the base 
ot the fringe in the preceding species.. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Likewise from Argentina. 
R. moha Dogn. (153 a) likewise resembles the colouring and marking of D. gelduba-, grey with a green moha. 
and yellow admixture especially in the disc, a large yellowish oval spot behind the cell, distally bordered with 
black; a white subterminal spot is subanal, 2 irregular black lines above it. Hindwing blackish. Venezuela, 
Colombia, Bolivia. 
R. occulta Schs. is larger than the preceding species, forewing blackish-brown, the veins strewn with occulta. 
black and light grey; a round spot at the cell-end is strewn with brown in the centre and finely surrounded 
with white, the fine black dentate postmedian line is feebly double; a light reddish-yellow spot at the apex 
contains a black streak, a light marginal shadow below it and black marginal lunae behind it. Hindwing blackish - 
brown, fringe yellowish. Expanse of wings: 54 mm. French Guiana. 
R. onerosa Schs. is smaller than occulta, forewing darker violettish-black, partly mixed with moss- onerosa. 
green, especially at the base, distally bordered by a curved light line; transverse line dark brown, bordered 
with reddish-brown, the posterior line followed by a series of small dark brown shadowy spots, a dark brown 
ring filled with a lighter colour is at the cell-end; 2 red-brown subterminal streaks above the anal angle and in 
the centre, and a large reddish-yellow apical spot strewn with red-brown; small light red-brown spots before 
the undulate black marginal line. Hindwing violettish-brown with a dark anal spot and yellowish fringe. 
Expanse of wings: 45 mm. French Guiana. 
R. phanerostigma Dyar (153 b) is allied to the two preceding species, but easily discernible by a round phanero- 
white apical spot; forewing dark brown, more greyish in the median area, bordered by the double transverse 
lines which are filled with chocolate-brown; the elliptical discal spot is composed of an outer white ring divided 
into small spots, finely bordered with biown inside and filled below with a small ochreous spot; yellowish blotches 
are between the small subterminal white vein-spots. Hindwing as in the preceding species. British Guiana. 
R. stellata Schs. is another large species with dark brown forewings, light brown between veins 2 and 4, stellata. 
and between 5 and 6, strewn with white on the veins and at the inner margin; a purple black spot behind 
the large discal spot which is strewn with yellowish-white and bordered with black and white; a fine w'hite 
line extends from the white apical spot dowmwards. Hindwing dark brown with yellowish fringe. Expanse 
of w r ings: 54 mm. British Guiana. 
R. indecora Schs. is a smaller species, forewing grey, darker in the basal half, with a reddish-brown indecora. 
spot below the base of the cell, and brown strewing in the cell and above it; behind the black cell-end streak 
follows a large diffuse black spot which is continued to the apex by blackish-brown shading; traces of a 
black undulate postmedian line. Hindw'ing blackish-grey. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Dutch Guiana. 
R. testaceata Dogn. is allied to indecora ; the white ground of the forewing is strewrn with reddish yellowish- testaceata. 
brown, more intensely in the distal half, with the same basal spot below the cell as in indecora, the similarly 
coloured antemedian line strongly dentate; the centre of the black reniform macula is strewn with grey, the 
grey subterminal band strongly dentate in the lower half. Hindwing blackish, fringe whitish. Expanse of 
wings: 32 mm. French Guiana. 
R. discrepans Schs. Forewing dark drab with a round brown basal spot below the cell, traversed by discrepans. 
a dark brown, partly double line, the similar postmedian line is interrupted between the veins 2 and 3, accom¬ 
panied below it on each side by a velvety brown side, with a red-brown shadow' and an almost straight dark 
line in the upper half outside; one streak each above and below vein 5, and a velvety brown subapical luniform 
spot. Hindwing dark brown, lighter basallv with a black and white anal spot. Expanse of wings : 47 mm. French 
Guiana. 
R. litura Schs. (= maculata Dogn.). Forewing light brown, strewn with dark brown, a blackish litura. 
spot below r the base of the cell and black irregular undulate transverse lines; before the dark cell-end streak 
the lower cell-end is crossed by a blackish oblique shadow, 2 subterminal black spots below and above the 
centre between the black and grey spotted veins; the lighter undulate line is not strewn, round black internerval 
spots behind it, and double marginal dots behind these spots. Hindwing violettish-brown. darker at the margin, 
with a black and white anal spot. Expanse of wings: 51 mm. French Guiana. 
R. tulira Schs. is somewhat similar to litura, strewn darker in the basal half, the anterior double tulira. 
transverse lines only distinct at the costal margin, the double almost straight median line filled with a lighter 
reddish-brown, dark spots before the postmedian line, not behind it, a large, light-edged irregular spot is at 
the cell-end, and the black marginal spots are replaced by a single marginal line which is slightly thicker only 
between the veins. Hindwing dark brown wdth a dark anal dot and light fringe. Expanse of wings: <§ 45, Q 
49 mm. French Guiana.
