above the anal angle. Distal margin concave below the apex, hinclwing the same. The colour and the discal 
spot on the hindwing is like that on the forewing, without any other lines and spots. £ 13 mm. Port Darwin. 
Rh. canidentalis Swh. (93 b). Distal margin in both wings slightly indented below* the apex. Pale 
pinkish-grey, with a blackish hue, costal area and marginal area paler. Costal margin with black and white 
spots, the ground-colour mottled. 18 mm. Khasia Mts. 
Rh. insignifica Rothsch. Porewing brownish-grey with darker striae, costal margin with reddish-yellow- 
spots. Hindwing the same, with a fine red marginal line. J 15 mm. New Guinea. 
Rh. epiplemoides Rothsch. Eorewing pale cinnamon-brown, with darker spots, lines, and bands. 
3 short band-like cinnamon-brown spots at the costal margin. Erom the last at % of the costal margin a dark 
line extends to the distal margin at vein 2, and a nut-brown oblique band behind it. A nut-brown spot between 
veins 1 and 2, moreover a large central spot between vein 4 and the inner margin. Hindwing nut-brown, with 
2 creamy white discal spots, deeply indented at the distal margin between veins 4 and 6. The $ is more yellow. 
20—22 mm. New Guinea. 
14. Genus: Doliertya Wan. 
Similar to Rhodoneura, but the hind tibia of the d has but one pair of spurs, the interior spur of which 
is very long. Tibial blade as long as the tibia itself. Antennae thick, flattened, finely serrated above, finely 
ciliatecl below. Type: roseopuncta Wan. 
D. roseopuncta Wan. Eorewing greyish-brown, with many dark reticulate lines and streaks, forming 
4 or 5 indistinct dark bands, 2 of which are antemedian and 2 postmedian. The paler interspaces between 
the bands with brownish ochreous spots. Hinclwing without spots and bands, but -with blackish-brown striae, 
d 22 mm. Celebes, Dorey. 
D. variabilis Pagst. (= astrodora Meyr.) (92 k). Eorewing pale brownish-ochreous with irregular 
blackish-brown striae and 5 almost straight blackish-brown mostly indistinct bands. The second of them in 
the centre of the wing projects somewhat distally, the fourth extends into the anal angle, the fifth to the centre 
of the distal margin. Hindwing similar, but the two first bands are indistinct, the two following ones more 
distinct at the inner margin. Forewing beneath more whitish, the streaks blackish, the bands rusty red, a rusty 
red subcostal streak in the distal half. Centre of wing black, above with -white longitudinal streaks, with bluish 
silvery metal spots in the middle, dusted with white below them. Another black spot behind the centre with 
white lines. 18—22 mm. Amboina, Aru Is., New Guinea. 
D. submicans Wan. Separated from variabilis (92 k) by the absence of the light areas between the 
bands above, ground-colour uniformly dark. 4 dark lines on the forewing, a basal line, an interior, exterior 
and submarginal line to the centre of the distal margin. Parallel rows of spots between the bands. A dark 
cloud with brown scales at the cell-end. Hindwing only with the exterior line. Beneath marked like variabilis, 
but browner. Black and metallic scales in the cell, the subcostal streak black. Hindwing white with distinct 
black streaks. $ 16 mm. Dorey. 
15. Genus: Mtcrocteimclia Wan. 
Forewing oblong, convex at the base and apex, slightly concave between them.. Cell longer than half 
the wing. Cross-vein vertical. Vein 7 on a short stalk with 8 -|- 9, but 10 and 11 separated. Hindwing with 
a curved costal margin at the base, apex pointed, distal margin round. Antennae short, shortly bipectinated 
in both sexes. 
M. munda limps. Pale reddish-white. Eorewing with three median lines, the interior and exterior 
ones of which are irregular, the central one straight. A more vertical, less curved postmedian line. Besides 
an oblique subapical line. Hindwing with an irregular basal line and similar median, exterior and submarginal 
lines. Forewing beneath with a white streak at the veins behind the upper cell-angle. 25 mm. Sikkim. 
M. cyclothyris Hmps. Forewing fiery red with numerous black striae. Costal margin dark brown. 
A round hyaline spot edged with black below the cell-end. Hindwing of the same colour, dark brown at the 
inner margin. $ 22 mm. Singapore. 
16. Genus : Ob el lira Wan. 
Separated from Rhodoneura by the very long abdomen in both sexes. Distal margin very undulate in 
both wings. 3 deep indentations between the anal angle and centre of the hindwing, "type: dohertyi Wan.
