1202 RHODONEURA. By M. Gaede. 
Costa Rica, Ecuador, Bolivia, Rio de Janeiro. — arcuata Pagst., from Chiriqui, which was not at hand, may 
be only a more distinctly marked violalis, in which the striation of violalis is united into interrupted lines. 
The following species, detached by Warren - as the genus Siculodes Gn., are all more or less white, the mark¬ 
ing’ consists of dark lines, more rarely of dark spots. The antennae-are long. 
R. pulchelloides Pagst. (174 a). White, lustrous, the hindwing somewhat diaphanous, more opalescent 
than the forewing. The latter with numerous rows of pale violettish brown dots in the basal area and in the 
centre, larger spots near the anal angle, variably shaped in the individual specimens, few fine streaks in the 
apical area. Hindwing with small spots only at the margin, without any other marking. 24—-30 mm. Panama, 
Colombia, Peru, Brazil. 
R. triumphans Warr. (174 a) is much larger than pulchelloides, distinguished by a pink marginal line 
and yellow fringe. Very similar to pudicula Gn. from the Indo-Australian Region. Ground-colour silky white. 
EoreAving olive grey at the costal margin, striated dull reddish brown, with 4 oblique oblong red-brown spots 
at the apex. Basal half with black lines, fused into a spot below the middle of the wing. An oblique black band 
before the middle of the inner margin, somewhat reddish below the costal margin, divided between the veins 
by yellowish white horizontal streaks, and with a large white spot behind the cell, almost interrupting them. 
A black band at % inner margin extends to vein 4. Black spots at the anal angle, forming a divided band above 
vein 2, which reaches vein 6. Marginal area pink. Hindwing with irregular olive brown streaks at the base, 
a round dark spot at the anal angle, 6 black submarginal spots. 1 50 mm. Peru. 
R„ perlula Gn. (174a, b). Both wings strongly iridescent, sometimes the costal margin of the forewing 
somewhat brownish. The brownish reticular lines of the forewing mostly with rather wide meshes. The lines 
of the hindwing are not so reticular, only irregular. Forewing beneath often red-brown in the basal and median 
areas in front, as well as at the costal margin, mostly quite lustrous silvery without any red-brown marking, 
and even if a brown subapical line is present, the silvery lustre from the apex extends yet beyond it. 26—30 mm. 
Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Cayenne. 
R. paullula Pagst. (174 b) is mostly much smaller than perlula. The wings are white. Forewing with 
many tiny brown streaks which are more densely arranged at the middle of the inner margin and form part 
of a median band. The streaks on the hindwing rather form lines. The $ is larger, especially the forewing some¬ 
what brown, tinged with violet. The basal area and a median band widening anteriorly are darker, but all 
the borders faded. Hindwing as in the 3, slightly browner. Forewing beneath with a sharply cut off silvery 
apical triangle, vein 7 remarkably red. 17—26 mm. Guatemala, Chiriqui, Peru. 
R. sterna Fldr. (= virginula Gn.) (180 g). Wings purely white only in the external parts, the rest pearl- 
coloured. with numerous black streaks inclined to form lines. No distinct bands recognizable. Forewing beneath 
yellowish, the veins also yellow, only close at the margin they turn red. 34—40 mm. Bogota. 
R. intermedia Warr. (174 b) is in size between the two similar species paullula and sterna. Remarkably 
separated from them beneath. On the forewing of intermedia all the veins are uniformly pink. Two faded reddish 
yellow spots in the sub median fold and one at the distal margin. In sterna the spots are hardly visible, in paul¬ 
lula they are dark red-brown. 26 — 30 mm. 3 <$<$ from Peru. 
R, figurata Warr. (174 b). Forewing chalky white with light and dark brown reticular lines, the costal 
margin bronze brown at the base, from where brown double lines proceed. The reticular lines before the distal 
margin between the veins 4 and 7 are filled with brown and form an oblong spot. Hindwing paler, with fine 
red-brown reticular lines. Both wings beneath with thicker, reddish grey streaks. Black metallic scales in the 
cell and at veins 8 and 9, and a pale red-brown streak below the costal margin. 22—30 mm. Peru. 
R. rufifimbria Warr. (174 c) is somewhat similar to figurata. Forewing chalky white, with numerous 
brown reticular lines, darkest at the inner margin. A brown streak at the cross-vein. Costal margin pale red¬ 
dish yellow, darkest at the base. Regular brown streaks at the costal margin. Hindwing similar, but white 
at the costal margin, with thick transverse lines. Forewing beneath with black metallic scales at the base and 
upper cell-end, besides a red subcostal streak and a similar spot below the cell-end. $ 30 mm. Panama. 
R. stigmatophora Warr. (174 a). White. Forewing with numerous grey reticular lines, with a slight grey 
tinge in the interior two thirds, proceeding from 6 pahs of dark grey lines at the costal margin, 3 each before 
and behind the middle. A large black spot at the cross-vein. The reticular lines at the distal margin with wider 
meshes, browner, separated from the others by a white, scarcely marked submarginal band. Hindwing with 
a grey median band of 3 or 4 reticular lines, enclosing a black cellular spot, a white band before it. and 2 blackish 
basal lines. The marginal area as on the forewing. 44 mm. 1 $ from Peru. 
R. sutoolivescens Warr. (174 c) resembles a better marked lacteguttata. Wings hyaline white, opalescent. 
Forewing uniformly covered with olive brown reticular lines, broadly greyish brown at the costal margin, reddish
