it is in Ifh. Ninonia. Fore-wing, above, with basal third orange tawny, 

 rest black ; the basal part has a large black spot in centre of the cell 

 connected with a short black costal stripe ; the black apical part has a 

 large quadrate yellow spot within the end of the cell, a very flexuous 

 row of yellow spots halfway between the cell and apex, and a closer 

 sub-marginal row of similarly-coloured oval spots along the outer margin; 

 the hind- wing has its basal half orange tawny, its apical half black, the 

 black part being very broad near the apex, and extending as a lobe 

 towards the disk of the wing. Beneath : same as above, except that 

 the hind- wing has a sub-marginal row of small yellow spots.

18. — ITHOMIA PSYCHE. 



^. Same size, shape, and colours as ItJi. Victorina (Hewits' Ex. 

 Butt. Ithom. f. 75), and Ith. Gotytto (Hewits. Ex. Butt. f. 76). Differs 

 from both in the neuration of the hind- wing ( 3" ) ; the lower discocel- 

 lular being angulated near its middle, and the middle discocellular 

 being long and strongly curved towards the apex of the wing. The 

 colour and markings of the fore-wing are almost the same as in Jth. 

 Victorina (Hewits. 1. c. f. 75), the only difference being that both the 

 second and third median branches are both thickened with black. 

 Hind- wing with the narrowish outer border rusty red, edged with black, 

 and showing a clear white speck near the apex. Beneath : the black 

 borders are all reddish, and the hind-wing has a series of short white 

 streaks on the margin ; the costa of the same wing is pale yellow near 

 the base. Collar reddish, antennae black. 



Gruatemala, Pacific slope ; many examj)les. 



19. — ITHOMIA SALVINIA. 



$ . Shape and neuration same as Itli. Sylvo, but a little larger in 

 size. The dark narrow borders and the nervures are light fulvous 

 brown instead of blackish brown, and the pale spot of fore-wings is 

 chalky white instead of yellow ; the spot is nearly square in form, and 

 covers part of the bases of both the radial nervules as well as the sub- 

 costal ; the dark streak from the costa over the discocellulars is narrow 

 as in Ith. Sylvo, and none of the nervures are thickened with dark 

 edgings. The narrow fulvous outer border of fore-wing is thickened at 

 the end of the nervures ; the space between the median nervure and 

 hind margin is fulvous brown and opake. Beneath : same as above, but 

 paler; two chalky spots at tip of hind- wings. Body black, thorax 

 marked with white, antennae black, stoutish.
