spot, at the anal angle. Hindwing pink with irregular lines of black dots. The black line of the forewing is con¬ 
tinued on the hind wing. $ 22 mm. Peru. 
R. polycliloralis Pagst. (173 h). Wings greyish brown with a violet shine. Forewing with a broad golden polychlora 
brown stripe below the costal margin almost as far as the distal margin. Besides short red-brown transverse 
stripes laterally edged with black. A basal stripe, an interior and a median stripe, extending to the submedian 
fold. Behind it two short stripes and one oblique subapical stripe. Hindwing with quite faded stripes, at the 
base, in the middle and outside, £ 26—28 mm. Chiriqui. — rosenbergi Warr., from Peru and Ecuador, is identical 
with 'polycliloralis. 
R. triangulifera Warr. (173 i). Wings greyish ochreous, with darker brown reticular lines, the marking 
dull red-brown. Base of forewing greyish ochreous, obliquely cut off. Interior band narrow, bent, nut-brown 
at the costal margin. Exterior band broad, rectangular, its interior edge from % costal margin to the middle 
of the inner margin, the exterior edge obliquely outward as far as vein 6. then parallel with the interior edge, 
undulate; this band is nut-brown also in front. Marginal band from near the apex outward, then along the 
margin, its interior edge ending at the anal angle. All these bands finely striated. The light band of the ground¬ 
colour before the exterior band strangulated below the middle and containing some fine hyaline spots there. 
Hindwing with a red-brown interior, exterior and marginal band with undulating edges, the median area lighter,

R. anastomosalis Pagst. (173 i). Forewing not particularly narrow, as the author states. Wings lustrous 
light yellowish brown, with darker brown bands on the forewing and with reticular lines. An indistinct bent 
interior band and one at the base, quite indiscernible in the type. Exterior band very broad at the costal margin, 
almost linear in the submedian fold and much darker inside, somewhat widened towards the inner margin. 
At the costal margin outside a broad light triangle is cut off in the band, the costal margin being narrowly 
whitish also towards the base between the median and exterior bands. Margin broadly dark, bent inward at 
the costal margin, besides an oblique subapical line. Hindwing with a feeble median band, shaped exactly 
like the exterior one on the forewing, enclosing a relatively large hyaline spot in the cell. An irregular dark

line from % costal margin to the anal angle. Both wings besides with dense reticular lines. 
Chiriqui, Novo Friburgo, Itatiaya. 
R. subtransversalis Warr. (173 i) is said to resemble anastomosalis. Forewing pale yellowish brown with 
fine dark incomplete reticular lines. No bands present. Hindwing more reddish. A faded reddish stripe ex¬ 
tends from about y 3 inner margin towards the apex of the forewing, not reaching it. 24 mm. 1 $ from Central 
Surinam. 
R. rufigrisea Warr. (173 i). Forewing dull brick-red with dense violettish-grey reticular lines leaving rufigrisea. 
free only the costal margin before and behind the middle and a spot below the cell-end. The grey lines are 
densest at the base, behind the cell and at the distal margin; pale rings between them are mostly grey, some 
also reddish. Two dark spots at the base of veins 4, 5 and 6. On the hindwing the colours are exchanged. The 
anal angle dull red, the rest greyish violet with feeble red lines. 24 mm. 1 from Venezuela. 
R. curvistriga Warr. (174 a). Reddish yellow with dark brown reticular lines. Forewing with a square curvistriga. 
at the middle of the costal margin, bordered by the dark reticular lines, Idled with brown, from its lower ex¬ 
terior angle a bent brown line extends to the apex. A dark subapical line cuts off a triangle at the apex. A 
fold in the cell and behind it. Hindwing with brown reticular lines without bands. The fold is less strong.

R. rufidorsata Warr. (173 i). Chocolate brown. Forewing reddish at the costal margin, with vertical rufidorsata. 
pale lines. The basal and interior lines parallel, somewhat inward, the exterior one running to the anal angle. 
Submarginal line from the costal margin to the distal margin below the middle. Finer lines between them. 
Hindwing with an interior and exterior line, besides finer ones. The marking is very indistinct in both wings. 
1 20 mm, from Surinam. 
R. molecula Dyar. Creamy white. Forewing with fine grey lines. In the interior third of the wing molecula. 
there is a grey round spot in the middle, an irregular band in the exterior third, broader at the costal margin. 
A red-brown subapical band to vein 5 at the margin, forked below, and a short band at the anal angle. Hind¬ 
wing with a narrow grey interior band, the median band broad, extending in front as far as vein 7, narrower 
at the inner margin, grey. The submarginal band narrow, red-brown in front. 20 mm. Panama. 
R. sieapolitana Warr. Forewing creamy white, with ochreous flesh-coloured strigae. Costal margin neapolitana. 
spotted light and dark. 4 or 5 indistinct rows of dark spots, interrupted; only the submarginal band is entire,

5 and 1 greenish, spindle-shaped, edged with white. Hindwing whitish, with 6 parallel dark bands, the two 
middle ones of which are green. 1 $, 17 mm. Surinam. 
R„ violalis Pagst. (173 i). Ground-colour pale reddish brown, tinged with violet. Forewing with numerous violdlis. 
fine dark brown reticular lines, streaks and dots. Some specimens show 2 or 3 parallel lines, vertical above 
the inner margin, bent round towards the base before the costal margin. The darker margin is narrow, black 
dots in the marginal area. Hindwing paler at the base, with numerous blackish dots. 14—21 mm. Mexico,
