at the base of the cross-vein and another one below it. Orange spots at the costal margin. Hindwing with 
a hyaline centre, the rest with rows of white dots between the veins. A black spot at the centre of the inner 
margin. The costal margin of the forewing beneath golden yellow, dotted black, and below it a yellow line 
to the apex. Head and prothorax blackish-brown. $ 24 mm. New Guinea. 
Rh. subauratalis Warr. (92 d). Tore wing snow-white. The base with thick violet spots and streaks subaurata- 
between the veins. The streaks in the marginal area are longer and more regular. The space from the apex ds. 
to the cell-end and the middle of the inner margin with few streaks. Hark spots at the centre of the distal 
margin. Hindwing with a thick irregular marking except at the costal margin. Dark marginal spots on the 
whole distal margin. 20 mm. New Guinea. Separable from fumiceps (92 c) by the less dense striation. 
Rh. rufisfrigata Warr. (92 d). Forewing whitish with rufous reticulate lines. A rufous curved line at % rufistrigata. 
and a suit marginal line intensified at the veins with a branch to the centre of the distal margin, extending 
to the anal angle and connected with a spot in the submedian fold. A ring-spot at the cross-vein. Two sub¬ 
marginal spots below the apex and one below vein 4. Costal margin red-brown, dotted white. Hindwing 
more intensely marked, forming 4 or 5 almost parallel lines. $ 20 mm. New Guinea. 
Rh. nigralbata Warr. Forewing chalky white with many grey spots between the veins and black streaks nigralbata. 
at the margin. A black costal-marginal spot at the base, 4 black streaks behind it, the last of which meets 
the cross-vein. Two rows of black partly fused spots near the margin, and black marginal dots. Hindwing 
with more black spots and streaks. Head and prothorax blackish-grey. <$ 22 mm. New Guinea. 
Rh. hypargyra Hmps. (= mochlias Meyr.). Forewing silvery white with few dark striae, costal margin hypargyrn. 
dark. A black spot at the lower cell-angle, a short median band from vein 2 to the inner margin, a postmedian 
spot at vein 2 and three subapical black dots. Hindwing of the same colouring, with short lines and striae. 
3 spots near the margin below the apex and 2 above the anal angle. Forewing beneath with silvery scales 
above the cell. 20 mm. Burma, Borneo, Australia. 
Rh. polygraphalis (= bastialis Hmps. nec Wkr., marmorealis Mr., denticulosa Mr., rhytmica Meyr.). potyyra- 
Similar to anticalis (92 d), but fore wing beneath with 2 black dots at the apex, with an oblique apical line phalis. 
from the costal margin to the distal margin. The streaks are above arranged band-like in the <$, singly in 
the $. 18—20 mm. From North India to Ceylon and the Salomons. 
Rh. aureopicta Semp. (93 a). Wings silvery white. Forewing brown at the costal margin. A black aureopicta. 
dot at the cell-end, a brown spot below it at the inner margin, some light brown distal-marginal streaks 
are larger at the anal angle. Hindwing with 3 faint light brown bands. 3 black dots at the apex in both wings.

Rh. puralis Wkr. Silvery white, with many pale brown striae. Forewing with a short broad blackish puralis. 
distal band and 2 black oblong subapical spots. Sarawak. (Hardly anybody will be able to ascertain the species 
from this description.) 
Rh. argentalis Wkr. (92 d). White. Forewing somewhat coppery brown at the base. A large coppery argentalis. 
brown postmedian spot between veins 6 and 1. A black streak at the apex, yellowish-brown above it. Hindwing 
with a dark spot at the apex and anal angle, and striae in the marginal area. — tuberosalis Warr. has somewhat 
smaller spots on the forewing. The hindwing is without markings in specimens from South China and Borneo. 
— From India to the Sunda Is. 
Rh. bastialis Wkr. According to Wareen, the description of the genuine bastialis, not of bastialis Hmps., bastialis. 
runs as follows: ground-colour whitish ochre with pinkish-brown reticulate lines. Costal margin broad darker, 
with a grey gloss. The median line is forked at the inner margin and forms a ring in the cell. Behind it an 
oblique apical line to vein 4 at the margin. Two black dots at the apex and 2 rusty brown dots at the anal 
angle. Hindwing with rusty brown reticulate lines which sometimes form bands. India to Australia. 
Rh. nielialis Sivh. Pure white. Costal margin of forewing red, vanishing in the apical third. Both wings melialis. 
striated brownish ochreous, very regularly so on the forewing. Another red stripe below the first ends in 
a red spot at the cell-end. The streaks on the hindwing form a kind of median band. Both wings with red 
submarginal spots. 18 mm. Queensland. 
Rh. citrina Hmps. Quite pale lemon-coloured with dark brown striae. Forewing with black spots citrina. 
at the costal margin and a faded blackish-brown postcellular spot. Beneath with metallic spots in the cell.
