spot, likewise strewn with black and edged with black at its upper margin, extends from the first third of 
the costal margin to the anal angle. The white hindwing shows a faint yellowish tinge. Brazil. 
R. obliquifascia Rothsch. (159 i) is very similar to costalis, distinguished by a reddish-yellow head, the obliqui- 
abdomen and hindwing being orange, more or less tinged with pink; the whitish costal-marginal stripe is much f afscta - 
more intensely strewn with black above, like the narrower and much less lobated oblique spot which is not 
edged with black. Guiana to Brazil (Espiritu Santo). 
R. magniplaga Schs. (159 k) likewise resembles the two preceding species, but the head is white, the rnagniplaga. 
costal-marginal stripe distinctly pink, the oblique spot shorter, extending neither to the costal-marginal stripe 
nor to the tornus, brownish, uniformly strewn with a darker brown. Abdomen orange like the hindwing. Guiana 
to Brazil. 
R. hieroglyphica Rothsch. (159 k). This very peculiar species has developed from the preceding species, hiero- 
and is unmistakable for the oblique spot extending into 3 fingers, being tinged pinkish carmine and crossed gtyphica. 
by a light postmedian line. Abdomen orange, hindwing pale pinkish salmon-coloured. Amazons. 
R. plumbiplaga Rothsch. Head reddish-yellow, antennae black with ochreous pectinations; thorax plumbi- 
deep green, abdomen yellow reddish-brown. Forewing deep green with a sooty blackish-brown costal margin P lar J a - 
with a large brownish leaden grey oblique spot from below the centre of the subcosta to the distal margin be¬ 
tween 4 and 2; a short white stripe, followed by some white dots, extends from the last fifth of the costal 
margin into the surface of the wing. Hindwing recldish-yellow in the costal third, yellowish-pink below it. 
Expanse of wings: 52 mm. French Guiana. 
R. walkeri Schs. (= costalis Fldr. nec Wkr.) (159 k). Head and palpi light brown, thorax dark green, walkcri. 
abdomen pale orange. Forewing green with a broad whitish costal margin speckled blackish-brown. Hindwing 
pale yellowish. Brazil to Paraguay. 
R. pallidicosta Schs. (159 k) is extraordinarily similar, but the whole head is green, with a white spot pallidi- 
on the vertex, the abdomen is more brownish ochreous with a large blackish-grey hair-spot on the first seg- costa - 
ment, anal hah’ whitish. Costal margin of forewing somewhat straighter, the apex thereby more pointed. Fore¬ 
wing bright dark green with a pink-tinged costal margin and a small yellow discal dot. Hindwing yellowish- 
white. French Guiana to Brazil. 
R. aldaba Dogn. (159 k) is a small species, with a green head and thorax, and an ochreous abdomen, aldaba. 
Forewing green with a broad yellow costal margin and yellow fringe; subterminal traces of a slightly darker 
transverse line which projects towards the margin on 4 and 5 with two short notches. Hindwing pale yellow¬

R. eurytis Drc. This species and the following vitula are doubtfully ranged here, as the short insuffi- eurytis. 
cient description affords no clue as to the shape of the wings etc. I can therefore only render the descrip¬ 
tion: head white, thorax and abdomen brown, tegulae green, legs whitish brown. Forewing dark green with 
a white costal margin and a white discal spot; apex and part of the distal margin dark brown. Hindwing dark 
brown, whitish at the base; fringes of both wings brown. Under surface yellowish-white, intensely dusted 
dark brown. Expanse of wings: 1U inch. Venezuela (Merida). 
R. vitula Drc. Head, antennae and thorax brown, tegulae green; abdomen brownish-white, legs light vitula. 
brown. Forewing dull green, costal margin white, fringe green. Hindwing white. Both wings beneath greenish- 
white, the costal margin of the forewing yellow. Expanse of wings: 1% inch. Venezuela (Merida).
