HELICONID 4. 
ITHOMIA. XX. 
ITHOMIA ALEMA. = 120. 
Urrrrsipe. Male transparent rufous-white. The margins and nervures (except 
those which cross the centre of the posterior wing, which are rufous) black. Anterior 
wing with a curved narrow indistinct band at the end of the cell; the usual white 
spot on the costal margin undefined, opaque-white. | Clouded near the outer margin 
so as to inclose white spots between each nervure. Posterior wing orange-yellow on 
its inner margin. 
Unpersibe as above, with all the margins rufous, except the costal margin of the 
posterior wing which is black with its upper edge only rufous. 
The female has the margins broader. 
Expan. 2355 in. Hab. New Granada.

ITHOMIA AMALDA. 121. 
Uprerstpr. Female transparent rufous-white. The margins and nervures 
(except where they cross the lower half of the posterior wing, which is orange) black. 
Anterior wing, with an oblique band across the middle of the cell, and a broad band 
at the end of the cell, black. The apex broadly black, inclosing two transparent 
spots. 
Unpersine as above, with two or three white spots at the apex of both wings: 
Expan. 14% in. Hab. New Granada. 
Tn the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
Except in the colour of its posterior wing this species does not differ much from I. Makrena, jigs. 
29 and 105. 
ITHOMIA CIDONIA. 122. 
Uprersipr. Female transparent rufous-white. The margins and nervures 
black. Anterior wing with an oblique black band at the end of the cell; the second

border traversed by an orange band. 
Unpersipx as above, except that the anterior wing has three white spots at the 
apex, that the posterior wing has the orange band broader and continued on the 
costal margin to the base, and a submarginal row of bifid white spots. 
The male is less ; has the margins narrower, the second median nervule produced 
to the outer margin, and the third scarcely seen, and has not the submarginal white 
spots. 
Expan. 148; to 2;45 in. Hab. New Granada. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
This beautiful species, until compared with it, seems to differ very little from I. Herda at jig. 19.
