then 3 oblique somewhat undulate ones farther outside, and a subapical line. 3 or 4 parallel straight lines 
on the hindwing. $ 19 mm. Java. 
Rh. acutalis Wkr. This is the species treated as nitens Btlr. in Vol. II, p. 374, pi. 56 f. Some more 
synonyms are: ancylosema Meyr. and julvipicta Warr., but margine-punctalis is a species of Hypolamprus. — 
atribasalis Warr. shows the whole base dark brown inclusive of the median band exclusive of the costal margin. 
New Guinea. — We figure here the form hamifera Mr. (92 e) which was treated as a synonym in Vol. II and 
is somewhat similar to the species of the triangularis- group owing to the pale triangle at the costal margin 
of the forewing. 
Rh. lucida Warr. Forewing lustrous white, the marking pale olive brown. A basal, interior and exterior 
band, all distally angled in the cell and separated from each other by a pale space with a brown line in 
the middle. The angle of the exterior line is prolonged beyond the submarginal band as far as a jet-black 
subapical spot which extends to the middle of the distal margin. A pile-shaped white spot follows behind 
it before the apex. Hindwing pale ochreous with 3 darker bands with black spots, the interior one distinct 
and dark at the inner margin, q 20 mm. New Guinea. 
Rh. commanotata Warr. Dull brownish-grey with indistinct reticulate lines. Brown spots at the costal 
margin. Bands pale brownish. The first at y 3 , broad in the cell, obliquely inwards below it. The second 
in about the centre, indistinct, broader below the costal margin, then interrupted and forming a triangular 
spot in the submedian fold. Marginal area rather dark and without distinct marking. A white comma at the 
apex and a brown spot below it near the distal margin. Hindwing pale, with a straight brown median band 
from before the middle of the costal margin to the middle of the inner margin. $ 20 mm. Borneo. 
Rh. basalis Warr. Whitish brown with pale rufous reticulate lines. Marking dark nut-brown. The 
base as far as 2 / 5 dark nut-brown, bordered with a vertical line. An interrupted distal band is formed by a 
streak at the costal margin and a double-armed spot at the inner margin before the anal angle. Distal margin 
narrowly nut-brown with oblique Y-shaped streaks. Hindwing with 3 brown bands near the base, the third 
broad and double, distal margin red-brown with a few striae. 18—20 mm. New Guinea. 
Rh. pallida Btlr. (= obliquistrigalis Warr.) (92 e), distributed from Japan to New Guinea, has already 
been dealt with in Vol. II, p. 374, pi. 50 f. We figure here the southern form. 
Rh. glaphyralis Hmps. (92 e). Body and wings pale yellow. The reddish-brown striae form an indistinct 
median and submarginal band in both wings. The latter band does not extend to the apex of the forewing. 
6 or 7 light spots at the costal margin. 22—30 mm. Sikkim, Assam. 
Rh. bullifera Warr. (92 e). Smaller than glaphyralis and the apex more pointed. White, with reddish 
ochreous and dark brown reticulate lines. 4 transverse rows of connected white spots; the second and third 
rows enclose rufous reticulate lines. The first row, curved, on % of the length of the wing; the second, 
also curved, extends to the submedian fold; the third from the apex to the inner margin; the fourth at 
the distal margin above the anal angle. Hindwing with 3 similar rows of spots. 25 mm. Ivhasia Mts. 
Rh. atristrigulalis Hmps. (92 e). Forewing densely striated rusty red, darker at the base. Median line 
indistinct, obliquely outwards. A coppery brown postcellular spot connected with a stripe to the costal margin 
and with a double line to the inner margin. An oblique apical line and branched lines to the margin and 
anal angle. Hindwing with a line at the base, a cellular spot and branched lines. Forewing beneath with black 
and wdiite streaks at the costal margin and behind the cell. $ 30 mm. Bhutan. 
Rh. mollis Warr. (92 f). Forewing pale ochreous, the reticulate lines and marking pale brown. A narrow 
band at % of the length of the wing, broader and angular in the middle. Another antemedian band obliquely 
outwards, then vertical and less distinct. The third postmedian band broader at the anal angle. The fourth 
forked at the costal margin, to the centre of the distal margin. Apical area pale brown. Hindwing without 
bands, with striae and two lines, one from the middle of the costal margin to the anal angle, the other from 
near the apex to the middle of the distal margin. 50 mm. Sikkim. — mediostrigata Warr. (92 f) is much 
smaller (35 mm), without bands on the forewing, only the dark radial line in the centre of the wing distinct. 
Ivhasia Mts. 
Rh. exusta Btlr. occurring in Japan and India has already been dealt with in Vol. II, p. 374, pi. 50 f. 
The specimen mentioned by Strand from Formosa exhibits the angle at the median band deeper situate, but 
it may belong to this species. 
Rh. hebra Swh. Dark nut-brown with grey areas. Wings with indistinct dark reticulate lines and silvery 
grey spots arranged band-1 ike. Fore wing beneath with 3 rusty red bands from the cell to the inner margin 
and a faded spot in the middle of the distal area. S 25 mm. Ivhasia Mts. 
Rh. aurata Btlr. (= hydreutis Meyr.). Golden ochreous with sienna-red spots and lilac grey reticulate 
lines. 4 more distinct dark grey lines divide the wing into 5 equal parts, the first two lines being straight, 
the third and fourth angular. 26 mm. Australia, New Britain.
