bronze towards the apex. An oblique dark line at the cross-vein. Hindwing the same, but without a dark 
costal margin. Costal margin of forewing beneath broadly, of hindwing narrowly olive bronze. The $ more 
opalescent. Forewing with 8 or 9 reddish bronze spots at the costal margin. Two reddish olive spots at vein 1 
and a similar submarginal one behind the cell. 45—50 mm. Described according to a couple from Peru. 
R. lacteguttata Wan. (174 c). White, semidiaphanous, opalescent, with numerous greyish green reticular lacteguttata. 
lines, so that the ground-colour is reduced to round white patches. The larger spots at the veins form an ex¬ 
terior band, the submarginal row consists of smaller round spots. Costal margin dark iron grey with white 
spots. Hindwing similar, but lighter. 45 mm. 1 $ from Peru. 
R. ferrugata Wan. (174 c). Creamy white. Forewing with irregular branched brown strigae and dark ferrugata. 
rusty red reticular lines. The costal margin dark brown at the base, with dark brown strigae behind it. A straight 
brown line extends from the middle of the inner margin obliquely upward to the upper cell-angle, from there 
inward to the middle of the costal margin. United at the bend with a line from the costal margin to the anal 
angle. Two widely ramified lines in the interior half from the costal margin, the third of them divides the 
straight oblique line below the middle. Three ramified finer lines near the apex. Hindwing with a strong 
brown median line, with 2 or 3 more lines behind it, stronger only near the anal angle. Forewing beneath 
with an orange subcostal streak, black metallic scales at the upper cell-edge. 28 mm. Peru. 
R. ferreiceps Hmps. Body brownish, wings silvery white. Forewing strongly tinged with brown, the ferreiceps. 
median area with undulate brown lines, the marginal area with a few black streaks, the costal margin dark 
iron brown at the base, predominantly white behind it. Hindwing with brown reticular lines and brown veins. 
Somewhat reddish yellow at the base, the median band brown, enclosing white spots, excurved around the 
cell. The margin reddish brown except at the apex. Forewing beneath fiery red-brown in the cell and its sur¬ 
roundings. A triangular fiery brown spot below the cell-end, a square black spot above the anal angle. 1 Q, 
40 mm. Guiana. 
R. viriditincta Wan. (174 b). White, not hyaline or opalescent, the dull olive brown reticular lines viriditincta. 
rather thick. The median vein and veins 1—4 on the forewing dark olive brown, and a similar streak below 
the costal margin. The costal margin with distinct olive brown streaks. A dark spot at the cross-vein, similar 
spots at the ends of the veins. An olive brown oblique spot above the middle of the inner margin. All the 
lines of the hindwing are almost parallel with the distal margin, fewer lines at the base. Beneath slightly tinged 
with olive. Black and yellow streaks in the base of the cell, also at its upper edge towards the end. $ 45 mm. 
Ecuador. 
R. postponens Dyar. Whitish. The marginal half of the forewing tinged with violet, numerous blackish postponens. 
grey lines, the 5 interior ones interrupted, the 4 exterior ones more continuous, bent. A red shadow behind 
the cell-end, a black spot below it. A white spot with a black dot at the apex. Hindwing whitish in the interior 
area, violettish grey at the apex, median band grey, blackish violet inside. 23—26 mm. Panama. 
R. roseobrunnea Wan. (174 c). White with a violet shine. Forewing with numerous pink and brown roseobrun- 
lines proceeding from olive brown spots at the costal margin. The lines are more densely arranged in the median nea 
and marginal areas, separated by a lighter area. Hindwing with more equably distributed pink lines, some¬ 
what thicker at the inner margin, the costal margin pale. Forewing beneath olive brown, without lines, hind¬ 
wing lighter than above, with pink lines. 24—28 mm. Peru, Bolivia. 
13. Genus: Zeuzeroiles Pagst. 
Chiefly separated from Rhodoneura by the shape of the wings. Forewing very oblong, the costal margin 
bent before the apex, distal margin very oblique. Hindwing relatively still more oblong, with a very pointed 
apex, somewhat prominent in the d at the anal angle. The genus is represented only in South America. Type: 
leuconotula Pagst. 
Z. leuconotula Pagst. is very similar to Meskea dyspteraria (175 h). Body dark wood-coloured brown, leuconotula. 
Forewing yellowish brown, darker brown through the cell towards the apex, lightest in the submedian fold 
in the basal part. A white dot at the costal margin close before the apex, a white, black-centred spot at the 
distal margin close below the apex. Black spots chiefly radially accumidated in the median area. Hindwing 
much darker brown, lighter only at the apex. A broad white spot extends from the anal angle for some distance 
along the margin, then forming a long point towards % costal margin, the anal angle itself somewhat yellowish. 
40 mm. Chiriqui. 
Z. fumatalis Pagst. (174 d). Dark violettish brown. Forewing with indistinct light round spots with fumatalis. 
a dark central dot. These spots are most distinct in the centre of the wing and at the anal angle. Hindwing 
horizontally divided from the middle of the inner margin. In front coloured like the forewing, darkest at the 
border-line, yellowish white at the anal angle, purely white towards the border and undulate. Forewing beneath 
with an indistinctly yellowish apex and a black double dot at the apex. 30—36 mm. Chiriqui, Brazil.
