wider at the inner margin, more than twice as broad at the costal margin, where it is inwardly fused with the 
basal area. Inside of the exterior band golden yellow, broader in the type than in the second specimen in which 
also the inner margin is brown there. This area well as the whole marginal area with fine dark lines, the second 
specimen with a distinct subapical line. Hindwing golden yellow with a strong red-brown median line and 
reticular lines. 17—19 mm. Surinam, Bolivia; from Goyaz (Brazil) a faded marked specimen without any 
light median area. 
R. ferrughiea Pagst. (173f). Body and wings rusty red. Forewing violettish red behind a line from ferruginea. 
the apex to the lower cell-angle and to y 3 inner margin. Hindwing narrowly red in the lower half at the distal 
margin. The rest of both wings without any marking. ^ 22 mm. Chanchamayo, Goyaz. 
R. sectilinea Warr. (173 g) is remarkable for its extremely pointed forewing. Body brown, wings straw- sedilinea. 
coloured. Forewing with fine brown reticular lines. Small brown triangles at the costal margin and and oblong 
spot at 34 costal margin. Apex broad, brown, triangular, as far as the middle of the distal margin, edged with 
dark inside, connected at vein 5 with a straight brown line from the middle of the costal margin. Slightly 
brownish at the middle of the inner margin and at the anal angle. Hindwing with a feeble brown median band 
with a black spot at the cross-vein. $ 24 mm. Upper Amazon R. 
R. semierma Schs. Body olive brown, wings reddish brown. Forewing grey and olive brown at the semierma. 
costal margin as far as into the cell. Interior line dark brown, introangular in the cell, with opalescent scales, 
irregular fine brown lines behind it. A large black shadow behind the cell-end, narrowest between veins 6 
and 9, fused below vein 6 with a dark exterior line from the costal margin. A brown shadow below vein 3, 
ending pointed at the inner margin. The exterior line is edged with grey and silvery white on both sides at 
the costal margin, a dark longitudinal streak is behind it above vein 8. Distal margin brown from the costal 
margin to vein 3, bent inward at the veins, grey before it. Hindwing spotted brownish and black, especially 
in the basal area. Near the inner margin a large black spot in the middle and behind it. $ 44 mm. Costa Rica. 
R. umbrata Sc.hs. Body and forewing dark brown. A pale yellowish red shadow below the cell as far umbrata. 
as the submedian fold and the distal margin, densely spotted dark as far as the middle, then less so. A similar 
broad shadow at the distal margin between veins 6 and 4, with indistinct dark lines. Hindwing broadly dark 
brown at the costal margin, edged below by an undulate white line. Lilac towards the anal angle with fine 
brown spots. $ 32 mm. Costa Rica, described according to a single specimen like semierma. 
R. thiastoralis Wicr. This species has already been dealt with in Vol. X, p. 764. Bright chocolate brown thiastoralis. 
with darker lines. The forewing with traces of a subapical line and 5 or 6 transverse lines. The hindwing 
besides with a dark spot at the cross-vein. Described from Brazil. 16 mm. Specimens from Jamaica and Cuba, 
according to Warren, are larger, browner, the forewing more excurved at the distal margin ha the middle. 
Specimens from Ecuador, according to Schaus, typical, also these from Panama. Specimens from Costa Rica 
have also a normal shape of the wings, but they are as large as Cuban specimens. 
R. spurcatula Warr. (173 g) is somewhat similar to the preceding species, but without metallic scales spurcatula. 
beneath. Ground-colour reddish yellow with black reticular lines. On the forewing they are united into 2 inter¬ 
rupted bands, shortly before and behind the middle. Costal margin with small black squares, with brown spots 
between. More densely arranged black reticular lines at the apex and distal margin. Hindwing with a black 
basal band and a double row of black spots through the centre. 1 <$, 19 mm, from Paraguay. 
R. pundum Fldr. (173 g) is scantily marked. Body and wings pale brown. Forewing somewhat darker punctum. 
near the base, the margin in both wings very pale. Both wings with few black scales, hind wing with a large 
black central spot. 20 mm. Amazons. 
R. guttulosa Warr. Body and wings pale reddish ochreous. Forewing darker at the distal margin, the guttulosa. 
costal margin olive with small white spots followed by short white streaks which are then continued from the 
submedian fold to the inner margin. A dark shadow close before the distal margin. Hindwing traversed bv 
white striation. An interior and exterior white line more distinct, the enclosed median band somewhat green, 
with fine white dots. 24 mm. Described according to 1 $ from Cayenne. 
R. cameola Fldr. (173 h). Body reddish ochreous, wings whitish. Forewing broadly pale at the costal cameola. 
margin, reddish ochreous, densely covered with parallel undulate lines, somewhat darker brown. Hindwing 
the same, the costal margin not darkened. 22 mm. Amazons. 
R. guttula Pagst. (180 h) lias been omitted by Hampson in his Monography, while Warren mentions guttula. 
the similar species Symphleps ochracea Pagst., but not guttula itself. In the wing-contours and the scheme of 
markings, guttula resembles a large Symphleps suffusa Warr. (Vol. XIV, pi. 75 i, not 76 k) from Africa, as well 
as cameola. Body and wings pale brownish, with a silvery gloss. The silvery spots of the forewing are espe¬ 
cially at the costal and inner margins, the distal margin is narrowly dark brown, darker and broader at the 
apex. No other marking. Hindwing more profusely covered with band-like silvery scales which are only absent 
on the narrow dark distal margin. $ 26 mm. Amazons.
