hind them. Only the $ shows hyaline spots on the forewing. One behind the straight line between veins 
2 and 3, and a small one behind the following line. The hindwing also with 3 small ones behind the cell. 30 mm. 
New Guinea, Jobi. 
Rh. clathraria Warr. differs from rectiviata (92 b) in the ochreous ground-colour. Reticulate lines rusty claihraria. 
red, transverse lines greyish-brown. The straight thick interior line is paler, and on the hindwing it is quite 
absent here; all the other marking on the hindwing is less distinct, too. No hyaline spots in the <$. 24— 30 mm. 
New Pomerania. 
Rh. plumbea Warr. Body and fore wing rufous with a silvery shine and many brown striae. Two fine plumbea. 
interior lines are well separated. Distal line double, excurved behind the cell. Submarginal line branched to the 
costal margin and to the anal angle. Hind wing similar with a fine interior line and double undulate median 
line. Submarginal line as on forewing. 26—36 mm. Sikkim. 
Rh. angulata Warr. Forewing mouse-coloured with numerous short black streaks between the veins angulata. 
in the centre of the distal margin. An oblique hyaline postcellular spot from the submedian fold to vein 4, com¬ 
posed of 3—5 small spots. Hindwing with very fine hyaline dots between veins 2 and 5, surrounded by pink. 
Forewing beneath with a broad dark stripe from the costal margin to the hyaline spot. One specimen from the 
Kaiserin Augusta R. shows a more red-brown ground-colour. The marginal area behind the hyaline area of 
the forewing is very densely striated black. On the under surface there is a lactean spot at the margin instead 
of a slight brightening. 26— 30 mm. New Guinea. — composita Warr. (92 b) is similar to the specimen mentioned composita. 
from the Kaiserin Augusta R. Forewing reddish-yellow and greyish-brown. Reddish from % of costal margin 
to behind the cell. The main hyaline spot between veins 2 and 3 is not oval but distally pointed. Hinclwing 
with greyish-brown distal margin and median band, the latter edged with reddisch-yellow on both sides. Inner 
and costal margins light. New Guinea. 
Rh. satelles Warr. (92 b). From light to dark reddish-brown, lighter at the costal margin of the fore- satelles. 
wing, with black striae which are more linearly arranged in the brick-red $. A large hyaline spot between veins 
2 and 3, two small oblique ones below it, sometimes also 3 in a triangle. Hindwing like forewing, but with¬ 
out hyaline spots. Fringe white at the tips. Forewing beneath with a blackish-brown spot beloAV the apex. 
30—38 mm. New Guinea. — A $ without the hyaline spots is named: coeca Warr. coeca. 
Rh. sordida Pagst. ( = albicollaris Wan.). (92 b) is very similar to semitessellata Wlcr. (91 k) from which sordida. 
its form albicollaris differs in the white head and shoulders, which, however, I do not find in a specimen before 
me from the Museum of Wiesbaden, nor in the type of sordida in the Berlin Museum. Costal margin of fore¬ 
wing spotted brown, not uniformly brown. Antennae of £ plain, not pectinated, with one row of pectinations 
in semitessellata. The basal area of sordida is lighter, so that a median band is more or less distinctly separated. 
26—34 mm. Borneo, New Guinea. 
Rh. hampsoni dalla Torre (= obliqualis Hmps.). Body and wings silvery white, basal area with brown havipsoni. 
striae. An oblique line from the apex of the forewing becomes double towards the inner margin and treble 
on the hindwing. Besides a sub marginal line which is double on the hind wing, and an undulate marginal line. 
38 mm. Sikkim. 
Rh. cymographa Hmps. Forewing ‘glossy white with a pale red-brown hue. A pale red-brown interior cymogra- 
line excurved in the cell; a narrow curved median band edged with dark, and a similar band at the cell-end. vha 
Marginal area with fine dark striae; black dots between veins 8 and 4 before the margin. Hinclwing with nu¬ 
merous brown striae and black dots. $ 30 mm. New Guinea. 
R. hoenei sp. n. (92 c). Ground-colour white. Tegulae and a subcostal stripe of forewing brown. The hoenei. 
costal margin shows a bluish-grey shine below and above that stripe. A brown double line with fine striae inside 
extends from the apex to behind the middle of the inner margin. A black submarginal dot above vein 7, 
followed by a brown submarginal line. Short oblique streaks at the margin. Indistinct brown striae in the 
basal area. Hindwing without them. A double basal line and a double distal line. A continuous line behind 
the submarginal line, not only short streaks as on forewing. Fore wing beneath with a broad metallic costal 
margin, the other marking less prominent than above. $ 32 mm. Canton. Type in the Berlin Museum. De¬ 
nominated in honour of the collector Mr. HoENE-Shanghai. 
Rh. candidatalis Sioh. (92 c). Body and fore wing white with blackish-brown striae. A distal band of candida- 
denser streaks is oblique, incurved towards the costal margin and below vein 4, a submarginal band. Two 
black dots below the apex. Hinclwing with double subbasal and median bands, neither of which extends to 
the inner margin. A double submarginal line from below the costal margin not quite to the inner margin. 
S 30 mm. Assam. 
Rh. pudicula Gn. (92 d). Ground-colour silvery white. Forewing so densely spotted dark brown that pudicula. 
the ground-colour forms reticulate lines. The spots on the hindwing are much smaller and scantier. Veins 
beneath carmine, and on the hindwing also the spots carmine. — obsolescens Warr. has much fewer spots, obsolescens 
no spots in the apical area above vein 4. Both forms from the Sunda Is. and New Guinea.
