20. — ITHOMIA CASS0TI8. 



(^ $ . Neuration same as in Ith. Cymo (Hiibii). Fore- wing broad 

 towards the apex, especially in the male, owing to its being produced 

 near the hind angle ; the hind margin is for the same reason strongly 

 incurved towards the hind angle. Grlassy with a bluish tinge ; borders 

 and a wedge-shaped spot over end of fore-wing cell black. The black 

 border is widened at apex of fore-wing, and is there broken by two 

 semi-hyaline spots ; the outer border is much thickened at the ends of 

 the nervures ; the space between the median nerviu*e and the hind 

 margin is black. The hyaline space between the end of the cell and 

 the black apex is crossed by a white belt, which is chalky towards the 

 costa, and milky towards the outer border, the latter hue is continued in 

 isolated spots between the third and second, and second and first median 

 branches. Hind- wing with a simple narrowish black border. Beneath : 

 same as above, except that the black parts are fulvous. Body black, 

 thorax marked with white, antennae black.

21. — ITHOMIA DOEILLA. 



^. In shape, neuration, and colours, closely resembling Ith. 

 Azara (Hewits. Ex. Butt. Ith. f. 23). Wings transparent glossy ; basal 

 half orange tawny ; apical half dusky. The basal orange fawny part 

 of the fore- wing has a large dusky spot extending from the sub-costal 

 nervure obliquely to the bases of the second and third median branches, 

 and a second dusky spot in the middle of the cell, besides having the 

 costa and hind margin streaked with dusky. The dark apical part has 

 a broad yellow belt crossing over and beyond the end of the cell, and 

 joining a yellow spot between the first and second median branches, a 

 second isolated yellow spot between the second and third median 

 branches, and a row of four yellow marginal spots near the apex, the 

 apical one being large. Hind-wing has a broadish faint dusky border, 

 and a spot of same colour towards the disk. Beneath : same as above, 

 except that all wings have a marginal row of white triangular spots. 

 Body black, thorax marked with yellow ; antennae wanting.
