Pi COUN ID 7: 
ITHOMIA XV. 
ITHOMIA HYALA. 87, 88. 
Uprersipr. Male transparent rufous-white; the nervures aud margins black. 
Anterior wing with an indistinct narrow band across the cell, and a broad curved 
band at the end of the cell, produced beyond the median nervule black. The usual 
white spot on the costal margin very small. The space between the inner margin 
and the median nervure and its first nervule, unusually broad (narrow in the female) 
and light brown. Posterior wing unusually small (larger in the female). 
UnpeErsIDE (except the nervures) rufous, where black above. The apex of both 
wings with minute white spots, sometimes seen above. ‘The costal margin of the 
posterior wing broadly orange (narrower and rufous in the female). 
Expan. 2 in. Hab. Guayaquil. 
In the Collections of W. W. Saunders and W. C. Hewitson. 
This will come next to I. Diasia (Fig. 28). I have figured both sexes, to point out more clearly 
than I can by description, the differences which exist. In the female the disco-cellular nervules cross 
the posterior wing transversely and at a right angle with the costal margin. In the male these 
nervures are much lower down, cross the wing obliquely, and join the costal margin nearer the apex, 
and at an acute angle. 
I have ascertained, since figuring the beautiful Ithomia Stella, at Fig. 52, that the nervures 
of the posterior wing differ in the opposite sexes exactly as in this species. The female of I. Stella 
is figured. 
ITHOMIA LAGUSA. 89. 
Uprrrsipre. Female transparent rufous-white ; the margins (except the inner 
margin of the anterior wing, near its base, which is rufous) black. Anterior wing, 
with the space between the imner margin and the median nervure, and its first 
nervule, orange; the nervures (except the median nervure to its first branch), an 
oblique band at the middle of the cell, and a broad, irregular, transverse band at the 
end of the cell, black. Two indistinct spots of white at the apex. 
UnpDERSIDE as above, with the base of the posterior wing yellow. The margins 
of both wings with very distinct round submarginal white spots. 
The male I have 1 t seen. 
Expan. 2355 nn. Hab. New Granada. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
Nearly allied to Ithomia Avella, Fig. 27.
