When the male of this species was figured, I believed it to be only a variety of I Cceno, but having seen 
several females, I find that they differ from Cceno in the position of the nervures of the posterior wing. ‘The 
females of this species are also much smaller than the males, differing thus from the rest of the genus Ithomia. 
This species is very closely allied to I. Villula, they differ from each other in the nervures of the posterior wing. 
ITHOMIA ERCILLA. 127. 
UrrrrsipE. Female. Anterior wing black, with a large semi-transparent trifid triangular 
rufous spot from the base to the middle. A transverse band near the apex of two white spots, 
one oblong and divided into four by the nervures, the other small. Posterior wing semi-trans- 
parent rufous, the outer margin broadly black, traversed by a broad band of orange.
