HELICONID &. 
ITHOMIA. XXII. 
ITHOMIA INA. 133. 
UprzrsipE. Male transparent rufous-white; the margins black ; the nervures very faintly 
marked. Anterior wing with a row of indistinct white spots on the black of the outer margin. 
Without the usual spot on the costal margin. Posterior wing with the inner margin broadly 
rufous. 
Unprrsipz. Does not differ at all except that the inner margin of the anterior wing, where 
it rests upon the posterior wing, is brilliantly polished like silver.

Near to I. Alema, fig. 120, but differs from it in colour. Near I. Apulia, 127, but has the nervures very diffe- 
rently placed. 
ITHOMIA ORIANA. 134. 
Upprrsips. Male transparent, the nervures black ; the margins broadly black. Anterior 
wing clouded with brown within the cell. _ Crossed obliquely by a broad band of black, which 
divides at the median nervure, and passes down the second and third median nervules. 
UnpiRsIDE as above, except that all the black margins are traversed by a rufous band ; 
that the apex of both wings is marked with two or three small white spots, and that the outer 
margin of the posterior wing has some indistinct white spots.

Near I. Onega, fig. 1, but different in the arrangement of the nervures of the posterior wing. 
ITHOMIA ALEXINA. 185. 
Uprrrsipr. Male transparent purple-white; the margins black. Anterior wing crossed 
obliquely at the middle by a band of black; triangular where it crosses the end of the cell, 
linear where it follows the second median nervule to the outer margin. Apex broadly black. The 
oval space between it and the black band slightly washed with white. Posterior wing with the 
nervures black. 
Unpersipz as above, except that the black band and margins are all traversed by a rufous 
line.

Although, at first sight, this species scarcely differs from I. Ardea, fig. 78, it will be seen at once how distinct 
they are, upon examining the nervules of the posterior wing. They are both of them as nearly allied to I. Silphis, 
of Guérin, as they are to each other, and yet differ as widely from it.
