HELICONIDA—ITHOMIA. 
ITHOMIA VIRGINIANA. 111. 
Tthomia Virginia. Boisd. MS. Hew. Eevot. But. Ithomia 1X., Mig. 54. 
Although differmg greatly in size and form, this is undoubtedly the female of 
fig. 54, which, though unique in the fine collection of Dr. Boisduval of Paris, was 
kindly intrusted to my care to figure. It was accompanied by the manuscript name 
of Virginia, which I carelessly adopted, having myself made use of the same name 
at fig. 18; I have therefore changed it to Virginiana. ‘This species is remarkable for 
the great length of the median nervure of the anterior wing before its first branch. 
In colour, its chief difference from the male is in the larger proportion of black upon 
both wings. It is in my own collection from New Granada. 
ITHOMIA ZELICA. 112. 
Uprrrsipg. Male black. Anterior wing with a large triangular transparent 
space of yellow-white from the base to the middle, interrupted at the costal margin 
by a black spot; beyond the middle and near the costal margin, a rather large white 
spot crossed by three nervures ; near the apex three small spots of white (one scarcely 
visible), and below them, near the middle of the outer margin, another spot com- 
municating by a clouded indistinct band with the triangular space at the base. 
Posterior wing with the basal half transparent yellow-white. 
UNDERSIDE as above, except that both wings have a submarginal row of white 
spots, largest near the middle of the posterior wing.
