third submarginal one is narrower in the middle. An orange spot at % of the costal margin. Hindwing with 
a median band and 2 orange spots near the margin. ^ 18 mm. New South Wales. 
Rh. sulphurea Warr. Sulphur-coloured, finely dotted black at the costal margin. Brownish claret- sulphured. 
coloured scales at the base extend to % of the costal margin and 1 / 5 of the inner margin. Traces of greyish- 
ochreous striae. Veins 4—7 pink surrounded by smoky grey. Hindwing pink at the base with curved rows 
of greyish-oclireous spots. Forewing beneath pink at the base, the rest as above, veins 4—7 also pink. The 
author mentions nothing about the resemblance with acaciusalis , which might be presumed. ^ 25 mm. Penang. 
Rh. piperata Warr. Forewing pale yellowish with 5 or 6 parallel partly united orange bands which piperata. 
are somewhat angular, the pale ground-colour between them forming round spots. Costal margin dusted some¬ 
what black. Marginal area with numerous black dots and striae. Hindwing the same. $ 16 mm. Ron I. 
Rh. hieroglyphica Warr. Lustrous whitish-brown with a pale grey and dark brown marking and hiero- 
reticulate lines. An olive grey basal spot with dark lines. Two olive grey spots at the costal margin, the inner glyphica. 
edge of the first spot with a deep brown spot above the median vein and a larger balloon-shaped spot obliquely 
below it; these two spots are sometimes coalescent. The first and second spots approximated at the median 
vein. Adjoining to the second the usual forked band, only the lower part of its interior arm being darker than 
the ground-colour. This dark brown part unites with the basal spot at the inner margin. 
Rh. ypsilon Warr. (= kosemponis Strd.) (92 i). Forewing pale greyish ochreous, with brown reticulate ypsilon. 
lines. A brown line from y 3 of the costal margin to 2 / 5 of the inner margin. A straight brown line from % of 
the costal margin to % of the inner margin, shortly forked at the costal margin. An oblique line from 5 / 6 of the 
costal margin to the middle of the distal margin. An undulate line from the anal angle not quite to the costal 
margin. Hindwing with an almost straight brown antemedian line. A fine line from % of the costal margin to 
before the middle of the distal margin, and a curved line between them. <§ 18—20 mm. Formosa, Dammer I., 
North Australia. 
Rh. salmo Warr. Forewing flesh-coloured brown with blackish striae which are darker and more salmo. 
distinct at the inner and distal margins. Hindwing similar with a large brown discal spot. Inner margin 
whitish. Very similar to Hypol. rupinus in which, however, the discal spot of the forewing is absent. 32 mm. 
Sarawak. 
Rh. plagiatula dalla Torre (= plagiata Warr.) (92 i). Forewing pale brownish-ochreous with pale plagiatula. 
red-brown reticulate lines. Costal streak and band-like spots deep brown. A narrow band near the base, then 
a vertical interior band, somewhat broader at the costal margin; the distal band curved, much broader above 
the middle; a curved subapical band and a quadrangular spot at the anal angle. A hyaline white spot between 
the submedian fold and vein 2 on both sides of the distal band, moreover a semi-diaphanous apical spot. 
Hindwing with 4 dark bands, diaphanous in the centre of the wing at the second band. $ 20—22 mm. Choiseul 
I., New Guinea. 
Rh. quinquelineolata dalla Torre (= quinquelineata Warr.) (92 k). Forewing pale brownish ochreous quinque- 
with a slight lustre, with very fine grey striae and 5 brown lines, obliquely outwards, angular below the costal lineolata. 
margin, then obliquely inwards, undulate. Rows of black dots between the lines. Large brown marginal spots. 
Only the two interior lines distinct on the hindwing. 25 mm. New Guinea, at an altitude of 2000 m. 
Rh. vermiculata Warr. Forewing reddish ochreous, densely covered with undulate pale brick-red vermicula- 
lines, uniformly coloured; some darker areas only at the costal margin, indicating the beginnings of bands. ta - 
Hindwing of a paler ground-colour, especially at the costal margin. 22 mm. New Guinea. 
Rh. illustrata Warr. Forewing semi-diaphanous ochreous, with red-brown veins and reticulate lines, lllustrata. 
Basal half of the wing, the costal and inner margins chocolate-brown. A light oval spot in the basal area. 
Two dents behind the centre of the costal margin, from which brown lines proceed. The distal one of them 
extends to the distal margin below the middle, a branch extends from it above vein 5 to the interior dent. 
From this partition another line extends to a brown spot at the anal angle, and another line from the interior 
dent to % of the inner margin, where a similar spot is situate. Hindwing with 3 interrupted ramified bands, 
the second of which ends behind the centre of the inner margin in a large spot. $ 35 mm. Malacca. 
Rh. liana Warr. Forewing brownish ochreous with dark brown reticulate lines and fine marking, nana. 
A dark antemedian and postmedian line, the latter thicker at the inner margin, besides an indistinct subapical 
line. Hindwing with traces of a median and distal band at the costal margin. 16 mm. Sumba. 
Rh. crypsilitha Trnr. Body pale brown. Forewing dull reddish with many dark brown striae. Fringe crypsilitha. 
pale reddish-brown. Hindwing with more distinct striae. $ 16 mm. Brisbane. 
Rh. rhaphiducha Trnr. Body and forewing whitish ochreous with numerous dark brown striae. A rhaphidu- 
square dark spot at % of the inner margin. Fringe whitish ochreous with dark brown spots. Hindwing incised clia -
