HELICONID£Z—ITHOMIA. 
ITHOMIA INACHIA. Var. 143, 144. 
Ithomia Inachia, Ev. But. Vol. I., figs. 66, 67. 
Uprersipe. Male transparent green-white, bordered with grey ; the margins 
broadly black. Anterior wing crossed midway, from margin to margin, by an oblique 
band of black—broad at the costal margin, narrow where it joins the outer margin. 
UNDERSIDE as above, except that the black margins are all traversed by a band 
of orange, and that there are three white spots at the apex of each wing.

This, however much it may seem to differ at first sight, is, I have no doubt, only a variety of 
I. Inachia, figs. 66, 67. Underside it does not differ from fig. 66, which I consider typical. I had some 
doubt before as to my being correct in figuring two insects so different in colour’as one and the same 
species. The sight of the Butterfly now figured has removed that doubt, and shown that it is a species 
subject to great variation. 
ITHOMIA ILERDINA. Var. ¢ 145. 
3 Ithomia Ilerdina, Ex. But. Vol. I1., fig. 129. 
Does not differ from the male figured before, except that it has two white spots near the middle of 
the costal margin on both sides, one of these spots being sometimes obscured on the upperside. I do 
not think that this is a variety peculiar to the female although the examples which I have seen are all 
of that sex. The sexes of Ithomia seldom differ except in the position of the nervures. 
ITHOMIA THEUDELINDA. 146. 
Uprrrsipr. Male transparent green-white; the margins and nervures (which 
are fine) black. Anterior wing with the costal margin rufous. Both wings with an 
irregular black spot at the end of the cell; both with the outer margin black, deeply 
sinuated inwardly ; broad on the posterior wing, where it is marked with five white 
spots. 
UnpERSIDE as above.
