RHODONEURA. By M. Gaede. 
distinct. A postmedian double band, its branches united at the costal margin, and an apical band -which is 
indistinctly forked or widened at the costal margin. No distinct bands on the hindwing. 32—36 mm. Assam, 
Sikkim. In specimens from Amboina and New Guinea distinct bands are present also on the hindwing. — 
quadri- quadripunctula Pagst. (= vinosa Mr.) is mostly smaller and darker. The type shows a dark spot below vein 
punctitta. g ag f ar ag p e i ow vein 2, a black streak in the distal band and on the hindwing between the two hyaline spots, 
so that hyphenata Warr. from Queensland is probably the same. No other specimens beside the type origin¬ 
ating from Sumatra exhibit this spot. — jubralis Swh. from Cherra-Punji has another hyaline spot below the 
mgristriata. centre of the forewing, which likewise occurs in Sumatra, but not in the type. — In nigristnata Warr. the distal 
latemhs. p an( j G f the forewing is spotted black between the veins, and in — lateralis Warr. (91 1) also the submarginal 
ordinaria. band and the bands on the hindwing. — In ordinaria Warr. (91 1), from New Guinea, Salomons Is., Queens¬ 
land, only the distal one of the two basal bands and the interior branch of the following double band are 
distinct. The continuation of the interior band on the hindwing is not forked as in nitida (91 1) from New 
dissimu- Guinea. - dissimulans Warr. (91 1) is much smaller, lighter, the bands on the forewing seem to be more oblique, 
Ians. gQ ^h a t p may be a distinct species. N^w-^-G^iwa. Ph-aA'tcu , , 
lepida. Rh. lepida Warr. (91 1) is just as large, but paler than nitida. The two basal bands undulately defined. 
The distal one just as forked as in nitida, but the distal branch only little filled with dark, more marked in 
the edges. Besides only a subapical line is present, no band. Hindwing much lighter, the lines therefore rela¬ 
tively distinct. 32—38 mm. Malacca, Borneo, Sumatra, Mindoro, Batu Is. 
moorei. Rh. moorei Warr. (= reticulata Mr.) (92 a) resembles lepida in the shape of the lines the interspaces 
of which are not filled band-like dark. The two double basal lines are somewhat more oblique, the distal forked 
double line is as uniformly curved in its exterior branch as in nitida, not angular at vein 3 as in lepida. The 
apical line is straight and more oblique than in lepida. Shadowy traces of a median band in the centre of the 
hindwing. 40 mm. Darjeeling. 
ramifera. Rh. ramifera Warr. (92 a). Darker red-brown than moorei , whereby the lines are more indistinct, but 
otherwise similar, though still more oblique, so that the exterior branch of the distal double line meets the 
anal angle. An oblique distinct double line also at the apex. The irregular undulate lines on the hind wing ex- 
conformis. tend rather vertically to the costal margin. <$ 30 mm. New Guinea. — conformis Warr. has black spots in 
both the branches of the distal band on the forewing above and below vein 3 and on the hindwing at vein 2. 
Thereby it is somewhat similar to lateralis (91 1). New Guinea. 
taeniata. Rh. taeniata Warr. (92 a). Forewing light red-brown with dark red-brown striae and bands. The straight 
basal band somewhat indistinct at the inner margin. The interior one angled at the median vein, the exterior 
one still more angular. A triangle before the apex, and adjoining to it an oblique line to the distal margin. 
Hindwing with 3 narrower bands which are distinct only at the costal margin. 38 mm. Assam, Sikkim. 
Rh. angustifasciata Gaede (92 a). Although veins 8 -j- 9 of forewing are stalked, I leave the species in 
Rhodoneura. The shape and the marking of the wings are similar to taeniata, but the abdomen is still longer. 
The ground-colour and the colour of the bands as in taeniata, but only one band being broad at the costal 
margin, then strongly angled, is present behind the middle of the forewing and extends to the inner margin 
of the hindwing near the anal angle. Besides a submarginal line on the forewing, composed only of spots in 
the only <§. 35—45 mm. Canton, Malacca. 
Rh. niultifenestrata Warr. (= augustifascia-$ Warr.) (92 a). Forewing greyish-brown with dark reti¬ 
culate lines and bands. A short curved band at 1 / 5 An antemedian band obliquely inwards, faded inside, 
sharply edged outside. A postmedian band, forked below the cell to % of inner margin and near the anal angle. 
Some hyaline spots between the veins 2 and 4 on each side of the interior branch. The indistinct basal band 
of the hindwing, the distinct median band and the marginal third are dark greyish-brown. Somewhat hyaline 
before and behind the median band. The $ lacks the hyaline spots. 32 mm. New Guinea. 
funesta. Rh. funesta Warr. (92 b). Blackish-brown, with an olive gloss; the bands, which are even somewhat 
darker than the ground-colour, are arranged as in angusti fascia. Hind wing the same. Separated from nearly 
all the species with hyaline spots in the dc? by both sexes being equally densely scaled here. 30—35 mm. New 
Guinea. 
lineata. Rh. lineata van Eecke (92 b). Similar to Micr. munda Hmps., but smaller. Ground-colour pale yellowish- 
brown with dark reticulate lines. A more distinct curved interior line, a median one vertical on the middle of 
the inner margin, and one from the anal angle to the cross-vein. Besides an oblique subapical line. On the 
hindwing the innermost line is the most distinct. 17—20 mm. Sumatra. 
rectiviata. Rh. rectiviata Warr. (92 b). Forewing pale rufous. The veins, reticulate lines and transverse lines darker 
brown. A curved line at 1 / 5 . A straight thick line from before the centre of the inner margin. Behind it two 
fine brown lines, the first partly double, to % of inner margin, the second obliquely outwards as far as be¬ 
low vein 4, then branched to the anal angle. Another oblique apical line behind it. Hindwing with 2 lines near 
the base and a straight thick line from the middle of the costal margin to the anal angle. Branched lines be- 
angusti- 
fasciata. 
multi- 
fenestrata.
