ITHOMIA. XVIII. 
ITHOMIA LILLA. 108. 
Uprrrsips. Female transparent purple-white, both wings tmted with yellow 
within the cell. The margims and the nervures (except where they cross the yellow 
band of the anterior wing and the middle of the posterior wing) black. Anterior 
wing, with an oblique broad band of black at the end of the cell, followed by a band 
of yellow. 
UnprrsipE as above, except that the margins are rufous-brown. ‘The apex of 
both wings with two small white spots, and the outer margin of the posterior wing 
with an indistinct white spot between each nervule. 
Expan. 13§ in. Hab. Guayaquil. 
Tn the Collection of the British Museum. 
Nearly allied to I. Vestilla (Fig. 17) and also to I. Salonina (Fig. 86). It wants the broad 
black nervule on the anterior wing of the former, and differs from the latter in the arrangement of 
the nervures of the posterior wing. 
ITHOMIA SAO. 109, 110. 
Hymenitis Sao. Hubner, Zutr., Figs. 123, 124. 
Uprrrsipr. Male transparent, glossy, rufous-white. ‘I'he margins and nervures 
(except where they cross the yellow band of the anterior wing) brown. Anterior 
wing, with a broad triangular band of black at the end of the cell, followed by an 
indistinct band of yellow which extends to the middle of the outer margin. Outer 
margin of posterior wing traversed by a rufous band. 
Unpersibz rufous where brown above; the apex of both wings, and the outer 
margin of the posterior wimg, with minute white spots. 
The female is smaller, has the wings more tinted with colour, the nervures 
lighter, and the marginal white spots of the underside much more distinct. 
Expan. 14% in. to 2345 m. Hab. Amazon and Venezuela. 
In the Collections of W. W. Saunders and W. C. Hewitson. 
This, though much larger than Hubner’s figure, does not differ in any other respect. I have 
examples from Venezuela of the same size as Hubnev’s. It is unusual to see the female less than the 
male, as it is in this species.
