subapical curved black line. Beneath with bluish silvery scales on both wings. $ 20 mm. Ceylon, Mysol. — 
occlusa Warr. has no semi-diaphanous spot at the cell-end, but on the contrary a blackish cellular spot. Both 
wings dull red-brown, paler at the base. Beneath with the characteristic blue scales. Bali. 
Rh. politula Pagst. Similar to micacealis, light reddish-brown, with a violet reflection, with reddish- 
brown reticulate lines which form an interior band across both wings, a median band from the centre of the 
costal margin, partly ramified towards the distal margin, the interior branch passing across to the hindwing. 
Moreover an oblique subapical line on the forewing separates an area which is covered with silvery scales beneath. 
(J 24 mm. Philippines. 
Rh. thiastoralis Wkr. (= rhodostica Sivh.). Glaringly chocolate brown, with a pink lustre, and fine 
dark brown striae which form a kind of a subapical line below the apex of the forewing. Costal margin with 
pink spots. Traces of 5 or 6 dark lines. Hindwing with a dark spot at the cross-vein and the lines of the 
forewing. Eorewing beneath nut-brown in and below the cell, metallic scales at the end of the median vein. 
16 mm. Assam, Malacca. According to Warren also from Ecuador and the Niger. 
Rh. cuprea Btlr. Pale coppery brown with 4 or 5 irregular orange bands with black edges. Two of 
them near the centre of the forewing are edged with blackish only distally. The wings exhibit a lilac lustre 
in a certain position. 20 mm. New Britain. 
Rh. staccata Warr. Eorewing greyish-brown with numerous dark transverse lines forming the edges 
of the usual bands, but all indistinct. One near the base; an interior one excurvated in the middle; the third 
behind the centre, broad at the costal margin, narrow at the inner margin; two more distinct lines near the 
apex, the interior one to the anal angle, the second bent to the middle of the distal margin. Hindwing similar, 
a broad faded dark brown band in the centre. $ 22 mm. West China. 
Rh. lateritiata Hmps. (92 i). Light coppery red with few fine black striae arranged in lines. Eorewing 
beneath pink at the inner margin, the striae as above, a black dot at the apex. Hindwing lustrous greyish- 
pink, with black striae and rows of pinkish-brown spots. 25 mm. Borneo. 
Rh. phasianalis Sivh. (92 i). Reddish brown, the interior area of the forewing and hindwing lighter, 
both covered with uniform dark striae. Eorewing with a black line at the costal margin and white double dots. 
A submarginal black spot in the centre and 2 or 3 near the anal angle on the hindwing are stated, but 
the original figure does not show these spots. Margin lighter in both wings. $ 24 mm. New Guinea. It 
may be identical with lateritiata and would then be the older name. 
Rh. striativena Hmps. Whitish-ochreous, finely striated brown. Hindwing with traces of a median 
band. Eorewing beneath with dark streaks at the costal margin. Black streaks in the cell and at the veins 
beginning from the upper cell-angle. £ 22 mm. Nilghiris, Burma. 
Rh. decoratalis Warr. (92 i). Forewing blackish at the base of the costal margin, the anterior part 
rusty red, with white spots two of which are united behind the centre. Interior area whitish; grey between 
the cell and the distal margin, with a submarginal black spot above the centre. Hindwing greyish-white, with 
dark brown spots at the lower cell-angle and from there to the inner margin. A brown submarginal band. 
14 mm. Khasia Mts. 
Rh. taphiusalis Wkr. ( = globidifera Pagst.) (92 i). Eorewing dark red-brown with yellowish-white 
spots. A small round spot before the base of vein 2, an oblong one obliquely distad behind it, then a very 
large round one, parted by red-brown reticulate lines. A purely white streak below the apex. Hindwing 
lighter brown with dark reticulate lines. 3 round white spots at the costal margin, 3\at the distal margin 
below them, one at the inner margin. 17 mm. Borneo, Singapore. 
Rh. splendida Btlr. (= parcipunctalis Warr.) (92 i). Brownish white, uniformly striated brown. 
Eorewing with a dark radial streak below the cell, forked before the distal margin. Eorewing beneath with 
some silvery blue spots in the cell. 20 mm. Andamans, Salomons, Khasia Mts. — The only specimen of 
parcipunctalis before me lacks the radial streak, but the forewing exhibits a few blackish spots. Beneath a 
large discal spot, but no silver. 
Rh. furcifer Hmps. Pale red-brown. Wings with dense brown reticulate lines. Traces of a transverse 
line at the base of the forewing. Interior line slightly excurvated below the costal margin. Distal line straight, 
a branch extends from it below the costal margin to the anal angle. Then a slightly curved apical line. Hindwing 
with an interior and apical line, traces of a curved distal line. $ 20 mm. Bhutan, Ceylon, Australia. 
Now follow a great number of species the alliance of which to other species cannot be ascertained. 
Rh. tnagnifica Meyr. Body and wings black. Eorewing with 3 orange bands which do not quite reach 
to the costal and inner margins. The first near the base; the second in the middle, narrowed at the ends;the
