collar and thorax light sand-coloured grey, the tegulae only very narrowly green, the abdomen whitish ochreous. 
The costal-marginal stripe and the fine discal dot are purely white; a small white triangular spot at V 4 of the 
inner margin has its base on the inner margin and is bordered slightly darker above. Hindwing purely white. 
Chest and anterior femora yellowish ochre; a large oval black central spot is on the ventral side of the ab¬ 
domen. 1 from Passa Quatro (Sul de Minas) (Zikan leg.), in the Berlin Museum. 
R. amazonica sp. n. (159 e) is another very similar species, somewhat smaller, with broader wings, 
much rounder at the apex, and longer pectinated antennae. Head green, frons white; collar and the interior 
edge of the tegulae sand-coloured grey, the tegulae and mesothorax green, abdomen whitish ochreous. Costal 
margin of forewing whitish pink, the white discal spot much more conspicuous; the 1st third of the inner 
margin and the small triangular spot whitish pink. Hindwing white, margin and fringe faintly tinged with 
yellowish pink. Chest and anterior femora rusty yellow, ventrum yellowish-white. Forewing beneath pale 
green, the costal margin and apex very broadly pinkish-orange down to vein 4. 1 $ from Massauary (Amazons) 
in the Coll. Staudinger of the Berlin Museum. 
R. languida Schs. (159 f). Head green, collar and thorax broadly grey, only the exterior edge of the 
tegulae green, abdomen pink. Forewing green with a fine yellowish-white costal margin, a black discal dot 
and a brownish-grey narrow inner-marginal stripe in the basal half, then widened into a small spot containing 
a few green scales. Hindwing whitish pink. Forewing beneath whitish with a reddish costal margin. Brazil (Rio). 
R. purpusi sp. n. (159f) forms the transition to the following species. Head greenish-white, collar and 
mesothorax dark brown, tegulae and forewing light bluish-green, costal margin reddish-yellow, discal dot 
blackish-brown in a broad white ring; base of inner margin whitish, then blackish-brown as far as the middle, 
where it widens into a spot which extends to vein 1. Hindwing pale reddish-yellow. Forewing beneath greenish, 
hindwing white, both with reddisch orange costal margins. Abdomen pinkish ochreous, the two first seg¬ 
ments light brown. Ventrum yellowish-white, chest, palpi and anterior femora pinkish ochreous. 1 from 
Soconusco (South Mexico), in the Berlin Museum. 
R. myops Fldr. (159 f) is a somewhat larger species; head and thorax green, only the interior edge of 
the tegulae and a spot on the metathorax are grey, the former separated from the green by a deep blackish- 
green stripe. Forewing green with a fine yellowish-white costal margin, a blackish-brown discal spot in a very 
fine light ring; the basal half of the inner margin with a narrow light brown longitudinal stripe which is bor¬ 
dered with a deep greenish black above and is widened spot-like at the end. Hindwing deep pink like the ab¬ 
domen, with a very large black spot on the ventral side. Forewing beneath greenish with darker green fringe, 
the costal-marginal half tinged orange. Colombia; Brazil. 
R. simillima sp. n. (159 f) is very closely allied to myops , but easily discernible by the entirely brown 
mesothorax, only the exterior edge of the shoulder-plates being narrowly green, the abdomen quite pink without 
the brown hair on the two first segments and without the black spot on the ventrum which is yellowish ochreous. 
Costal margin of forewing pink, the blackish-brown discal spot much larger, and the inner-marginal stripe 
which is deep blackish-brown here extends only to the first of the inner margin without its end being essen¬ 
tially widened. Hindwing lighter pinkish ochreous. The whole under surface is reddish ochreous. Amazons 
and Blumenau. Type in the Berlin Museum. 
R. incita Schs. is similar to the preceding species, but much smaller. Costal margin of forewing straight 
on two thirds, the last third convexly bent down to the apex. Head and tegulae green, collar and thorax brown, 
abdomen brownish at the base, the rest recldish-ochreous, ventrum white. Forewing green with a small black 
discal dot and a long black inner-marginal stripe as far as the middle. Hindwing purely white; under surface 
whitish, the costal margin feebly tinged with pink. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Peru. 
R. unda Schs. (159 g). Head green, collar and mesothorax brown, tegulae and forewing light green; 
costal margin very narrowly yellowish, a black dot bordered with yellowish is at the cell-end; a small blackish- 
brown spot at the base of the inner margin. Hindwing yellowish pink. Under surface yellowish white, both 
the costal margins pink. Abdomen pink above, yellowish ochreous beneath. Brazil, Peru. 
R. sciritis Drc. (= lappa Schs.) (159 g). Head green, collar, mesothorax, and the interior edge of the 
tegulae light brown; tegulae and forewing green; costal margin narrowly ochreous, discal dot black, an ochreous 
inner-marginal stripe extends to the anal angle and is upwards convex in the middle and bordered with darker 
green above. Hindwing white, abdomen pink above, white beneath, with a long blackish-brown central spot. 
Forewing beneath greenish-white, hindwing white, both with orange costal margins. Brazil, Peru. 
R. dentifera sp. n. (159 g). Head green, frons and the borders of the eyes pink, collar, thorax, and inner 
edges of the tegulae from light brown to sooty black, a green spot in the centre of the thorax; tegulae and 
forewing green, costal margin broad reddish-yellow, discal dot blackish-brown, scantily edged with yellowish; 
inner margin yellowish-white, widening behind the middle into a large circular reddish-yellow spot, intermixed 
and edged with blackish-brown hairs which are expanded at the inner margin in a fairly large scale-dent. Hind¬ 
wing diaphanous white, with reddish-pink hair at the inner margin, the distal margin and fringe of the <$ being
