lo:i 
spined. Neuration normal, vein 5 of hindwing feeble, from the centre of the crosg-vein. Ty])e’. ronfertisswi.a 
Wkr. from India. 
1. Forewing of ^ changed. Costal margin thickened in the middle. An oval diaphanons Rtri})e below 
it and a still longer stripe in the cell. 
R. stigmatia Hmps. (11 d). Body brownish ochreous. Forewing greyish-brown. Coniform macula long, stir/mafia. 
black, proceeding from the base. Median vein somewhat brown. Reniform macida edged brown, centred 
brown, slightly curved. Exterior line indistinct, brown, dentate, somewhat white outside. Brown sagittal s])ots 
at the margin. Hindwing greyish-brown, fringe lighter. ^ 30 mm. Cape Colony. 
R. albipunctella Joann. Thorax reddish yellow, abdomen greyish-yellow. Wings of d narrower, with aih'ipunr- 
the two hyaline areas of stigmatia. Ground-colour light reddish grey, more yellow at the costal margin. In- 
terior line indicated by a white dot at vein 1 with a few' black scales. 3 small black dots at vein 2, a w'hite 
streak at the cross-vein. Exterior line white below the costal margin, continuous, then punctiform, ending 
obliquely at the inner margin. Black marginal dots. Hindwing narrow, distal margin oblique, grey, with a 
wFite central luna and a w'hite submarginal line. Forewdng of $ somewhat broader, more greyish-yellow. In¬ 
terior line angled, indicated by 3 wdiite dots. Cross-vein w'hite, particularly at the upper angle. A white streak 
in the cell-fold. Exterior line like that of the (J, but the white dots are surrounded by greyish-black. Hind- 
wdng grey, the luna and the submarginal line less distinct. 26—28 mm. Senegal, Gold Coast. 
R. thomalae Gaede (11 d). By the marking of the hindAving and the long abdomen it is somew'hat similar thomaiae. 
to Ghlor. translucens FIdr. from India, but owing to the strong claw it belongs to Raghuva. Forewdng greyish- 
brown, yellowish-browm at the inner margin. The greyish-brown margin is divided by an ochreous line, and 
inside of it there is a broader ochreous line wddened at the costal margin. The hyaline cellular spot in stig- 
rmtia is much less distant from the base than from the distal margin, wdiilst it is equally distant here in tlio- 
malae. The upper hyaline spot is longer than in stigmata and translucens. Hindwing similar to translucens, 
yellowish-white, greyish-yellow in front, the discal luna and margin blackish-browm. ForeAving of $ normally 
shaped, dark greyish-broAvn Avith an ochreous submarginal line; the spot at the cross-vein is faded, large, 
blackish-broAA'n, the surroundings somewhat lighter. A dark ray beloAV the base of the cell. HindAving similar 
to that of the (^, marginal band broader. 19 —^20 mm. East Africa. As Avhite colouring is sometimes discer¬ 
nible at veins 2—-4 of the foreAvdng, albivenata $ Poult, may be the same species. The discal spot on the hind- 
AAung is isolated in thomalae $, fused Avith the distal margin in albivenata. Somali Land. 
2. ForeAving of ^ Avithout the tAvo hyaline stripes, only tAVO inserted jAlaces instead of them. 
R. multiradiata Hmps. (11 e). Body olive broAAUi, foreAA'ing paler olive hroAvn. The blackish interior multiradia 
line strongly excurved in the middle, dentate, the adjoining coniform macula very large, edged broAvn, pale 
inside. Ring-macula and reniform macula edged and centred dark, the former someAvhat elliptical, indistinct, 
the latter large. Exterior line far incurved at the costal margin, vertical from the submedian fold, dentate, 
dark, edged light outside. Margin dark olive broAvn Avith light partition-lines, and dark streaks proceeding 
from the exterior line. HindAving dark broAvn Avith a someAvhat lighter marginal spot between veins 2 and 4. 
My specimens from Transvaal exhibit a lighter hinclAving; a dark luna, an exterior line and a dark margin are 
very prominent. 3U mm. South and East Africa. 
R. perdentata Hmps. (11 c). ForeAving broAvnish ochreous, more reddish at the median A^ein and also perdenfata. 
behind the exterior line. Ring-macula small, round, with a black central dot and edge. Reniform macula some- 
AA'hat oval, broad. Exterior line black, very dentate, parallel to the distal margin from behind the cell to the 
inner margin, Avhite outside. Then follows the dark band, the margin itself is light. HindAving Avhitish ochreous, 
AAuth feAV dark marginal spots. $ Avith a darker margin. 22—24 mm. East Africa. 
R. biocularis Gaede (11 e). Body and foreAving ochreous. Interior line very fine, strongly dentate as in hiootdnrtf^. 
perdentata. Ring-macula and reniform macula Avith a black centre, surrovinded by a light ring and a dark one. 
Ring-macula similar to that of perdentata, not so stretched as in Hampson’s figure of multiradiata . The black 
edge of the reniform macida is interrupted outside beloAV. The coniform macula does not extend to beloAA' the 
reniform macula as in multiradiata, but only to beloAV the ring-macula. Exterior line dark, less dentate than 
in multiradiata, otherwise similarly shaped. Behind it a broader continuous ochreous band Avith shorter dark 
marginal spots than in multiradiata. HindAving not different. $ 23 mm. Transvaal. 
R. discalis Hmps. (11 e). Thorax and foreAA'ing pale olive brow'n, abdomen the same and Avith black disealis. 
segments. ForeAving Avith a faded black band beloAV the cell. BroAvn above the median vein and at the cross¬ 
vein. A double broAAm subniarginal line is filled Avith light. Marginal dots black. HindAving yelloAvish Avhite. 
The discal luna and the exterior band are broad, blackish, also the inner margin someAvhat darker. $ 26 mm. 
East Africa. 
R. cana Hmps. (11 c). Thorax greyish-Avhite, abdomen greyish-broAvn, foreAving greyish-Avhite in its eana. 
anterior half. Tavo black dots before the upper angle in the cell, and one behind the cell. Exterior line strongly
