HELICONID®—ITHOMIA. 
ITHOMIA LARINA. 90. 
Uprersipe. Male. Anterior wing with a large space at the base orange ; 
a spot in the cell, and the rest of the wing black, with several white spots; one 
(a double triangle) im the cell; two below it, between the median nervules; two (the 
first of which is large and trifid) placed obliquely across the wing beyond the middle, 
and a submarginal row, white, or slightly tinted. Posterior wing orange, with the 
outer margin, and a band of three spots, placed longitudinally across the middle, 
black. A transparent spot near the apex, bounded by the black already described, 
and a line of black near the costal margin. ‘Three small white spots near the 
apex. 
Unpersipe differs only in having a continuous row of white spots on the outer 
margin.

If this species was not also a male I must have placed it as the female of Ithomia Celemia, 
Fig. 22, to which it bears such close resemblance in its general aspect. Besides the black spots and 
different position of the nervures of the posterior wing, the shape and relative proportions of the two 
wings are very different. 
ITHOMIA IPHIANASSA. 91, 92, 93. 
Ithomia Iphianassa. Doubleday and Hewitson. Gen. Diur. Lep. Plate 18. 
Uprrrsips. Male (Fig. 92). Anterior wing, from the base to beyond the 
middle (except the margins, and two black spots, one of which crosses the end of 
the cell), semi-transparent rufous. The rest black; crossed before the apex by a 
curved band of yellow, and an oblong transparent spot between the second and third 
median nervules. A curved line of orange near the outer margin, and two or three 
white spots at the apex. Posterior wing, with the basal half transparent rufous- 
white, with a small black spot at the end of the cell. The rest black; traversed by 
a band of orange, parallel to the outer margin. 
UNDERSIDE as above, except that both wings have a submarginal row of white 
spots. 
The female does not differ.

The figure of this species is repeated here although previously published in the genera of 
Diurnal Lepidoptera, to make this series as complete as possible, and also to bring it into juxta- 
position with Figures 91 and 93, which I believe to be varieties of the same species, their only 
difference consisting in the quantity of black with which the wings are suffused. I have both sexes 
of each of the varieties.
