763 
Rh. oligosticha Hmps. Wings brownish ochreous with few red-brown striae. Forewing dark red- 
brown at the costal margin, with faded dark spots at the cross-vein and in the middle of the distal margin. 
£ 25 mm. Sikkim. 
Rh. subcostalis Hmps. (= pralanis Swh.) (92 h). Wings brownish ochreous, densely striated brown. 
Forewing with an indistinct interior line which widens into a spot at the median vein. Distal band with a spot 
behind the cell. Two curved lines near the apex terminate into a black submarginal spot. Hindwing with traces 
of a median band and a submarginal irregular line. £ 30 mm. Simla. 
Rh. melanostigmalis Swh. Rusty red with darker reticulate lines filling up the whole base. A few 
square black spots at the costal margin are connected with a larger spot behind the cell-end. A submarginal 
black spot above vein 5 and a marginal row. Hindwing with black reticulate lines, paler at the base. $ 22 mm. 
Khasia Mts.. 
Rh. semiperforata Warr. (92 h). Fore wing long and narrow, rusty red, with a short interior and median 
pale band from the costal margin and some spots below the cell. Distal area diaphanous except at the costal 
margin, with numerous rusty red striae and a subapical band. Hindwing pale rusty red with dark striae, a 
band at the base and spots behind and bellow the cell. 25 mm. Khasia Mts., Japan (?). 
Rh. cellulata Warr. Hyaline brownish ochreous, the bands and striae red-brown. Two dark basal 
bands only leave a small light subcellular spot free. The dark interior band is light-edged on both sides, 
the distal edge of it parted by a reddish line. The distal band thickened below the costal margin and in the 
submedian fold, almost interrupted between them, forming a cpiadrangular spot at the cell-end. An interrupted 
subapical streak to the margin at vein 4. The pale distal area of the wing is divided into round cells by the 
red veins and transverse lines. A series of them alternating with brown colouring also at the costal margin. 
Hindwing with a broad forked brown median band and a narrow curved distal band. Red-brown behind it, 
darker at the margin. All the cells at the median band are whitish hyaline. <$ 30 mm. West Java. 
Rh. ruinosa Warr. Forewing whitish red-brown, with numerous red-brown striae, faded red-brown 
at the base. Indistinct curved interior, median and exterior narrow red-brown bands. A red-brown spot behind 
the latter band below the costal margin on the inner side of a line which is excurvated towards the anal angle. 
Besides an oblique apical line. Hindwing also with red-brown striae, a curved median line and a submarginal 
line which terminates above the anal angle. 
Rh. discopis Hmps. (92 h). Forewing pale red-brown with numerous brown lines, some of which are 
more distinct. An interior line obliquely to the median vein, then vertical. An oblique line from the lower 
cell-angle to the inner margin and a distal one obliquely distad to vein 4, then incurvated. A subapical line 
to vein 4. A brown spot at the cross-vein. Hindwing with a similar spot and dense striation, especially in the 
marginal area. $ 25 mm. Ceylon. 
Rh. uniformis Hmps. Wings glaringly brick-red with fine uniform dark striae which are more distinct 
beneath. $ 30 mm. Andamans. 
Rh. atomosalis Hmps. Pale red-brown, densely and uniformly covered with dark red-brown spots. 
Forewing with a dark costal margin at which there are 9 white dots. Forewing beneath with two white, dark- 
edged spots at the cross-vein. 24 mm. Java, Mysol. According to Warrek, this species and his Symphleps 
atomosalis are said to be identical with Symph. ochracea Pagst., but the descriptions are ratherdifferent. 
Rh. ferruginosa Hmps. Glaringly rusty red. Forewing with many dark brown striae. A red-brown 
distal line excurvated towards vein 4, then incurvate, faded dark before it. An indistinct undulate submarginal 
line. Hindwing with many indistinct dark lines. Under surface with a slight silvery lustre. $ 26 mm. Sikkim. 
Rh. fallax Warr. Wings dark violettish-grey, densely and uniformly striated dark. Forewing with 
a rather oblique fine median line, a somewhat curved distal line and an oblique subapical line. Traces of a 
brown spot behind the cross-vein. Hindwing with but one oblique apical line. Sometimes the median area of 
the forewing and the apex of the hindwing are blackish. 20 mm. Assam, Bali, New Guinea. 
Rh. curvilinea Warr. Forewing pearl-grey with a coppery tint, a greyish bronze tinge bellow the 
centre. Reticulate lines dark brown. A narrow angular band at the base. Interior band almost vertical, the 
exterior band broader, excurvate, coppery. Pale grey between them at the costal margin. A greyish-white 
spot behind the exterior band at the costal margin. Then a dark brown semicircular line from the costal margin 
to below the middle and obliquely to the anal angle. Darker brown at the inner margin. Hindwing with 3 
parallel dark brown lines, a grey shadow behind the median line, dark reticulate lines behind the distal line. 
S 24 mm. Khasia Mts. 
Rh. micacealis Wkr. (= disjunctalis Wlcr., papuensis Pagst.) (92 h). Red-brown. Wings uniformly 
striated dark. Forewing with a white spot at the cell-end. A double interior black line, a median, exterior and 
oligosticha.
