R. xanthma Fldr. (173 h). Judging from the figure in the Novara work, t. 134, f. 15, it is quite un¬ 
commonly marked for a Thyridida , but this is only due to the figure being badly drawn. We are indebted to 
Dr. Jordan for supplying us with a sure specimen from Cayenne, which we figure here. The body is reddish 
ochreous. Both wings yellow. Forewing densely and finely striated reddish ochreous, the most densely in the 
basal area. A triangular area without striation at the apex, its point reaching down to vein 5 Hindwing reddish 
ochreous at the inner margin. The streaks darker, somewhat reticular with wide meshes. Uniformly broad 
dark brown at the distal margin, only the veins remaining yellow. 24—27 mm. Described from the Amazcms. 
R. rhomboidea Warr. (= laevigata Pagst.) (173 h) reminds us of anastomosalis by the long abdomen 
and the similar marking. Body and forewing reddish brown with paler bands. A narrow indistinct interior 
band bent obliquely inward. The median band as narrow at the inner margin as the interior one, much broader 
at the costal margin with a blackish brown spot at the costal margin in the middle. A narrow submarginal 
band, likewise widened at the costal margin and with a spot, obliquely outward as far as vein 7, then narrower, 
more extinct, parallel with the margin. The light colour predominates somewhat on the hindwing, the dark 
colour forming the bands, an interior band, a median and a marginal band, very irregular, of a variable ex¬ 
tent, a light spot at the apex is mostly cut off. 25—30 mm. Chiriqui, Peru, Amazons. 
R. changuinoia Schs. Thorax dark grey, abdomen pale brown. Forewing pale brown, with a large 
white median and exterior shadow at the costal margin and a narrower submarginal shadow, the inner margin 
somewhat grey. The interior line more excurved than the basal line. Median line oblique, excurved above 
the submedian fold. Exterior line obliquely excurved from the white costal-marginal spot to the inner margin 
near the anal angle. The submarginal line stronger, from the costal margin to vein 4 at the distal margin. 
The interior line on the hindwing somewhat angular, the median line fine, a dark spot at the cross-vein. The 
exterior and submarginal lines distinct, with a feebler line between them. B 15 mm. Costa Rica. 
R. nubila Hmps. Body dark greyish brown, wings dull red-brown. Forewing dark violettish brown 
at the base and in the marginal area behind the cell, owing to dense striation. Hindwing with such striation 
especially at the base, behind the cell and at the apex. 1 J, 28 mm, from British Guiana. 
R. auiifera Hmps. (173 h). Thorax red-brown, abdomen darker. The forewing red-brown, grey at 
the inner margin, the distal margin violettish grey, with numerous blackish reticulated lines. A triangular 
golden yellow spot from the middle of the costal margin to the lower cell-angle, and a less conspicuous one, 
slightly tinged with red-brown, from the apical part at the costal margin to vein 5. The first with few reticular 
lines, the other one with more numerous ones. The hindwing pale red-brown, with more distinct dark reticular 
lines. B 24 mm. Described from Paraguay. In the Senckenberg Museum 2 Be? from Alto da Serra and Vianna- 
polis. I consider it possible that the species is identical with amethystea Fldr. (173 g). 
R. lilacina Warr. Lilac brown. Forewing with a brownish ochreous, dark striated large triangle each 
at the costal margin before the middle and behind it as far as the apex. Hind wing with a somewdiat brownish 
ochreous median area, the whole rest of the wing lilac. A distinct dark spot at the cross-vein. $ 26 mm. Rio 
de Janeiro. 
R. quinquelineata Warr. (175 f). Body and wings whitish ochreous. Forewing with dense brown reti¬ 
cular lines, partly united into bands. Hindwing with 5 nut-brown lines, parallel with the distal margin, the 3 
first being double. The first at the base is short, the second bent, the tim'd broad, ending at the upper edge 
of the cell. The exterior and submarginal lines are thick, with reticular lines between them. B 34 mm. De¬ 
scribed according to a damaged specimen from Bogota. We figure a specimen of the Tring Museum from Ca¬ 
yenne. However similar quinquelineata is to the following species, yet it seems to be different from it. 
R. tristriata Pagst. has already been mentioned in dealing with Herdonia thetis (p. 1192). Body and 
forewing yellowish. Short white horizontal patches at 2 / 5 , % and 3 / 5 costal margin; they may also occur in 
quinquelineata. From vein 7 to a little below vein 4 a submarginal oval white spot with undulate vertical 
yellow lines. The continuation to the inner margin is basally removed by the width of the spot, less sharply 
edged, different from quinquelineata. Narrowly brown behind it. Hindwing somewhat lighter, with 3 bands. 
The interior one is narrow, straight, not compressed in the middle, the second of quinquelineata is absent, the 
third is angled, not rounded in the anterior part. The next line is absent, the submarginal one is straighter in 
its anterior part. 1 B> 28 mm. Montevideo. 
R. multifasciata Warr. (173 h). Creamy white. The forewing with numerous pale ochreous bands, 
parallel with the distal margin, darker and more distinct below the median vein; the postmedian bands be¬ 
tween vein 4 and the submedian fold greyer, forming a somewhat triangular spot. Costal margin paler, the 
distal margin narrowly brownish ochreous, paler before it. The hindwing with 6 more distinct dark bands, 
the light interspace also band-like. Apex pale in both wings. B 22 mm. Ecuador. 
R. colorifera Warr. (173 i). Body greyish green. Forewing ochreous, with a pink tint extending beyond 
the middle, with fine reticular lines and a few black scales. The basal area with 2 or 3 greyish green bands. A 
straight black band from 3 / 5 costal margin to % inner margin, behind it two bent rows of black spots and a dark
