pale orange. Abdomen pale pinkish ochre, the two first segments of the above with blackish-brown hair; 
ventrum white; palpi, anterior hips, and femora deep salmon-orange, tarsi black. Types from Mexico (Orizaba) 
in the Coll. Draudt, co-type 1 $ from Costa Rica (Turrialba) in the Berlin Museum. 
R. apollinairei Dogn. ( = klagesi Rothsch.) (159 g) is similar to dentifera, larger, the orange costal-mar¬ 
ginal stripe widens apicad, the inner-marginal stripe extends to the anal angle and is broadly greenish-olive, 
somewhat reddish orange above, and bordered with deep dark green especially in the basal half above. The white 
hindwing has a broad pink costal margin; abdomen pinkish salmon-coloured. Colombia (Bogota; Villavicencio). 
R. thalassina H.-S. (= prasina Bsd.) (159 h) is an apparently variable species. Head green, collar and 
thorax more or less blackish-grey, intermixed with single green hairs, only the distal halves of the tegulae deep 
blackish-green. Forewing of a peculiarly transparent bluish-green, with darker green veins; inner margin as 
far as up to the submedian fold deep dark green, convex above, tapering towards the anal angle, where it ter¬ 
minates in a blackish-brown hair-dent, the centre of the inner margin exhibits a lighter brownish triangle inter¬ 
mixed with blackish-brown hairs. Hindwing transparently white, more or less tinged pink and with pink veins 
or quite greyish-pink, more intensely pink-haired at the inner margin, abdomen pinkish orange salmon-coloured, 
anus blackish, ventrum white, spotted blackish-brown. Palpi, hips and femora pink, tibiae and tarsi sooty 
blackish-brown. Colombia to Brazil. - albidula Dogn. (159 h) is presumably no separate species, but only a 
form of this variable species with entirely white hindwings, only the costal margin being slightly tinged with 
pink; the blackish-brown colour of the thorax is continued to the two first abdominal segments; the dark inner- 
marginal stripe of the forewing is less convex above. The two forms are evidently connected by all kinds of 
transitions, numbers of which are at hand from the Berlin Museum. Guatemala; Colombia; Brazil; Peru. 
R. fulvipemiis Btlr. Head and thorax green, frons white with two small orange spots, palpi ochreous; 
collar dark brown, abdomen orange. Forewing dull emerald-green with an orange costal margin and a white 
discal spot; fringe white, violettish-grey at the ends, two similarly coloured small spots in the apex. Hind¬ 
wing orange. Under surface bright yellow with broad reddish orange costal margins, forewing with a lustrous 
pinkish-brown marginal area, apical half of hindwing orange-red. Legs brown. Expanse: 38 mm. Sao Paulo. 
R. pallida Jones. Head and thorax green, palpi, legs and antennae ochreous, collar reddish ochreous; 
abdomen ochreous. Forewing light green with an ochreous costal margin and a tiny white cell-end dot. Hind¬ 
wing and under surface white. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Castro (Parana), Brazil. 
R. simois Drc. (= luna Schs.) (159 h) is very similar to 'pallida. Head and thorax green, abdomen pink 
above, white beneath. Forewing green, the costal margin narrowly bordered with white, a small white dot at 
the cell-end. Hindwing white. Under surface white with green fringe and reddish costal margin which is white 
in the $; the abdomen is here also white above, only basally with a slight pink tinge. Brazil; Peru. 
R. rotundata sp. n. (159 h) has peculiarly broad, rounded wings. Head light green, frons white, collar brown. 
Thorax dull green, grey at the base of the abdomen, abdomen white, feebly yellowish. Forewing dull light green, 
costal margin very narrowly yellowish-white, with a tiny white discal dot. Hindwing purely white. Forewing 
beneath of a very delicate light green, hindwing white. from Bolivia (Villa Montes) in the Berlin Museum. 
R. albiceps sp. n. (159 i) is an entirely isolated species. Head and palpi white, palpi laterally finely 
striped blackish-brown; collar and thorax green, metathorax with 2 sand-coloured grey spots; abdomen ochreous, 
white beneath. Forewing dark grass-green, costal margin ivory white, widened a little in the middle; a large 
oval white spot at the cell-end widens between the veins 3 and 4 behind the cell, the margining and the veins 
in the spot dark brown; fringe at the distal and inner margins dark greyish-brown. Hindwing pale orange. 
Forewing beneath pale greenish with a broad yolk-coloured costal margin, a transparent discal spot, and dark 
brown fringe. Hindwing pale yellow. 1 $ from Blumenau in the Senckenberg Museum (Frankfort-on-the-Main); 
1 $ from Brazil (where ?) in the Berlin Museum shows the broader white costal margin striated brown. 
R. mona Jones. Frons green, hindhead brown like the palpi and legs; collar and thorax green, abdomen 
light reddish-yellow. Forewing green, costal margin ochreous, strewn with brown, a large white spot strewn 
with blackish-brown is at the cell-end, a smaller one behind it between veins 2 and 3, and a still smaller one 
above the latter; another small white antemedian dot at vein 1. Hindwing monotonously light reddish-yel- 
«low. Expanse of wings: 44 mm. Santos (Alto da Serra). 
R. erdae Sehs. is somewhat similar, but much more profusely spotted white. Head, thorax and fore¬ 
wing green, palpi and vertex reddish-yellow. Abdomen pale yellowish orange above, lighter beneath. Costal 
margin of forewing light reddish-yellow, strewn with black; a round white spot at the cell-end, and a smaller 
one behind it between 2 and 3, both strewn with blackish-brown; antemedian white dots on the veins, and a 
subterminal double row of white vein-dots. Hindwing yellowish-white. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Sa. Catharina. 
R. costalis Wkr. (159 i). Here, or already with the preceding mona , begins a group of mostly larger 
species which were ranged under a special genus: Moresa Wkr., but there are no anatomical differences. Head 
and palpi whitish, the head with a brown frontal spot; thorax dark green, abdomen light ochreous. Forewing 
green with a broad whitish costal margin scantily speckled with blackish-brown; a variably large white lobate
