grey. Costal margin with dark spots, between them red and ochreous brown. A lustrous red spot at the cross¬ 
vein, behind it a moon-shaped hyaline spot. Before and behind it dark blackish-brown and red spots from 
the costal margin to the median vein. Marginal area behind it orange with brown lines. Margin dark. Hindwing 
yellow and fiery orange with dark reticulate lines and a large square hyaline spot. Beneath easily recognizable. 
Flesh-coloured with a dark costal spot surrounding the hyaline spot of the forewing on the outside and inside 
rising up to the cell. B 22 mm. Rhodesia, East Africa. The specimens in the Berlin Museum exhibit no lead- 
coloured areas, and little orange, chiefly red marking. Particularly dark is the figured specimen from Fernando 
Po, with a small hyaline spot on the forewing. 
D. hyalotypa B.-Bak. Ochreous grey, a little red in the submedian fold. Behind the cell a quadri- hyaloLypa. 
partite fiery red spot, below it in the submedian fold an ochreous brown spot. Hindwing at the base metallic 
red, at the anal angle a dark brown spot. The large reniform hyaline spot is edged with dark. Distal margin 
reddish-brown, before it ochreous brown spots. B 20 mm. Angola. It may be, together with the above mentioned 
specimen from Fernando Po, the western form of flammata. 
D. binoculata Warr. Here the deep red colouring predominates, the reticulation being blackish-brown, binoculata. 
Median band narrow, centrally strangulated, blackish. Hyaline spot at the cell-end oval. Hindwing the same 
in colour and marking. The large hyaline spot is round. B 26 mm. Namaqua Land. 
II. The two following species recognizable by the notched costal m a r g i n o f 
the forewing. 
D. zelleri Dew. (76 e). Red-brown with intense greyish-brown marking on the forewing. The exterior zelleri. 
band very broad at the costal margin, where it encloses a yellow streak, before and behind it a similar short 
streak. The band in the submedian fold distally angled, narrowly to the inner margin. Hindwing less marked 
greyish-brown, with dark reticulated lines. Hyaline spot bilobate, before the lower lobe another dot. Distal 
margin in both wings feebly angled also at vein 2. B 27 mm. Ghinchoxo (Congo). 
D. angulata Warr. (76 e). Almost like zelleri, but on the forewing the median band is widened at the angulata. 
inner margin. On the hindwing the large spot is reduced to a fine dot, the accessory dot is also present. Both 
the wings are not angled at vein 2. The specimen figured is denoted as humerata Hmps. i. 1. 27 mm. Sierra Leone. 
2. Genus: Itliofloneura Gn. 
Palpi erect. Forewing with a pointed apex. All the veins free, 6—10 near the upper cell-angle. In the 
hindwing veins 4 and 5 slightliy, 6 and 7 more distantly separated from each other. Type: pudiculaGn. from Java. 
I. Margin of hindwing slightly concave below the apex. 
R. eugrapha Hmps. (= alenica Strd.) (76 e). Rusty yellow, with a rusty yellow median line on the eugrapha. 
abdomen. Forewing with a red-brown costal margin and similar lines, 3 of which are vertical, 2 oblique, partly 
bifurcated at the ends. Hindwing with similar lines. 30—35 mm. Ashanti, Spanish Guinea. 
R. nigropunctula Pag. (— seriata Warr.) (76 e). Ochreous with indistinct pale greyish ochreous trans- nigropunc- 
verse bands in both wings and fine black central dots. On the forewing near the median and distal bands at the 
inner margin darker brown. 26 bis 28 mm. East Africa, Natal. 
R. catenula Pag. (76 e). Rusty red with brown short transverse streaks. On the forewing only a catenula. 
subapical line and a median shadow at the costal margin behind the cell more distinct. 32 -36 mm. Cameroon. 
II. Hindwing not concave at the distal margin below the apex. 
R. thermographa Hmps. Body and wings yellowish white, abdomen at the base with brown spots, thermo- 
Forewing with chocolate brown reticulation forming several X-shaped figures. Besides a chocolate apical line, 
costal margin narrowly brown, and similar spots at the distal margin near vein 2. Fringe spotted yellow and 
brown. Hindwing likewise with chocolate reticulations. Fringe brown. $ 45 mm. Nigeria. 
R. gemmata Hmps. Light rusty red. Forewing with dark brown reticulations and two feeble interior gemmata. 
and exterior lines each. Hindwing similar. As the forewing beneath exhibits the same black spots with blue 
scales as in catenula, it may be that gemmata is merely a small, more distinctly marked form of it. B 25 mm. 
Nigeria. 
R. myrsusalis Wkr. (Vol. II, pi. 56 f). This species being found everywhere in the tropics occurs in Africa myrsusalis 
in the form — idalialis Wkr. (76 e). Greyish pink with a slight violet gloss, with dark bands of spots and fine idal-idlis. 
streaks. On the forewing with 2 hyaline spots and between them two yellow dots. 22—25 mm. tibiale Foyer, 
from the Seychelle Is. is probably the same species, as the chief difference stated, the thickened hind tibiae, 
may only signify “flattened”.
