R. impletalis Wkr. I had no access to the description of this species. 
R. werneburgalis Kefsin. Body pale red-brown. Wings hyaline white. Forewing almost quite red- 
brown, only in the centre and at the margin large spots of the ground-colour. Hindwing with few red-brown 
reticulated lines. At the apex and inner margin slightly suffused with brown. 35- 38 mm. Madagascar. 
R. scardialis Rbl. (76 f). Golden brown on the forewing, checquered with many large and small whitish 
yellow spots. Hindwing whitish with golden brown reticulate lines. $ 30 mm. L. Tanganyika. 
R. micragraphalis Hmps. Pale red-brown with fine brown reticulated lines. Forewing with short rusty 
red streaks at the costal margin, an indistinct and irregular interior and median band, bordered by dark lines, 
and a similar subapical band. The exterior line is fine black, bifurcated at the anal angle. Hindwing with brown 
reticulated lines and small dark spots. Sierra Leone. 
R. miosticta Hmps. Pale rusty red. Both wings densely covered with fine dark brown reticulated lines. 
Costal margin of forewing at the base dark. At the cross-vein a dark moon-shaped spot. At the margin above 
vein 5 a dark spot, 4 smaller ones above it and one in the sub median fold. Hindwing likewise above vein 5 
with a black dot. 25 mm. Ashanti. 
R. palairanta B.-Bak. Both wings creamy white, densely speckled with red-brown, and with fine similar 
reticulated lines. On the forewing the ground-colour is only visible in the median area, the oblique exterior line 
prominent. Costal and distal margins dark red-brown. Hindwing less densely reticulated. 30 mm. Lokoja. 
R. perigrapha Hmps. In the colours similar to palairanta. Costal margin of forewing at the base brown. 
A double brown median line is more prominent and a V-shaped streak at the upper cell-angle, from where a 
double line goes to the inner margin. Behind it a line to the anal angle and the usual subapical line. Hindwing 
a little more brownish, with fine brown and dark reticulations. Body brownish-white, abdomen with a dark 
dorsal line. 22 mm. Gold Coast. 
R. subscripta Warr. Greyish-brown with feeble dark reticulations and transverse bands from %, % 
and % of the costal margin, there and at the inner margin somewhat more distinct. The last excurved on the 
centre of the wing, forming a small oval dark spot before the distal margin. Hindwing lighter, at the base and 
inner margin without distinct bands. Beneath lighter, whereby the dark bands are more conspicuous. At the 
median vein and vein 6 of forewing black scales with metallic gloss. $ 18 mm. Niger. The male of this species 
may be a specimen in the Berlin Museum, from Spanish Guinea, with dark bands at 1 / i , before and behind y 2 
of the costal margin. The last is almost entirely fused with the dark distal margin. Beneath 4 dark brown bands, 
the two exterior ones interrupted in the middle. The subapical band is thick and dark, black metallic scales 
only at the median vein. 
R. pusillata Warr. Forewing pale ochreous brown, at the base somewhat rusty red, with rusty red- 
brown streaks and reticulated lines, without distinct lines. Hindwing the same. $ 17 mm. Niger. 
R. misalis Karsch (= palealides Hmps.) (76 f). Head orange. Thorax and forewing pale yellow, costal 
margin and veins fine black. Abdomen and hindwing yellowish-white. $ 32 mm. Mashona Land, Togo. 
R. sigillata Warr. Greyish-white with grey reticulations. Forewing at the costal margin olive grey, 
especially at the base. At the cross-vein an 8-shaped mark, behind it in the centre of the wing an olive grey 
band and a similar costal-marginal spot before the apex, from which an interrupted submarginal line proceeds. 
Behind it small black spots. Hindwing with grey strigae, at the inner and distal margins somewhat black. 
Of the same colour a cellular spot. Fringes of both wings white. $ 26 mm. Niger District. 
R. flavula Pag. (76 f). Yellowish-white with dense greyish brown reticulations. On both wings a black 
central dot and black marginal dots. $ 28—30 mm. Ogove. 
R. jejunalis Gaede (76 f) is somewhat more brownish and smaller than flavula. Striation finer. On the 
forewing before the distal margin a parallel dark line somewhat distinct. Marginal dots of forewing faint, 
absent on hindwing. Central dots hardly distinct. Beneath on forewing as in flavula, the white apical spot 
with 2 black dots. $ 22—24 mm. Togo. 
R. plagialis Gaecle (76 f). Ground-colour lighter, otherwise just like jejunalis. Besides on the hindwing 
at the centre of the inner margin a large blackish-brown spot and above the anal angle two small ones. $ 22 mm. 
Cameroon, Fernando Po. 
R. meriani Gaede (76 f). Light violettish brown with a fine dark violettish-brown reticulation, without 
the dark costal margin of the figure. Beneath on the forewing a distinct dark subapical line enclosing a lighter 
area. 17 mm. Seychelle Is. 
R. apicale Fryer (76 g). Similar to meriani. On the forewing the costal margin is dark-spotted. Below 
the base of vein 3 a white spot edged with black. Below it inwards two more small black dots. Beneath a
