HELICONIDZ.—ITHOMIA. 
ITHOMIA ESTELLA. 165. 
Uprrrsipr. Male. Anterior wing dark brown, transparent at the base : crossed 
beyond the middle by a large oval white spot, and by a submarginal narrow indistinct 
band of orange. Posterior wing transparent, glossed with purple: the nervures 
black: the outer margin broad, dark brown, traversed by an orange band. 
Unpersipp, as above, except that the orange band of the anterior wing is broad 
and distinct : that the costal margin of the posterior wing is orange: and that both 
wings have four or five white spots near the apex. 
Exp. 134 inch. Hab. Ecuador. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
ITHOMIA SYLVELLA. 166. 
Uprrrstpz. Male, transparent, glossy, rufous-white. The margins (except a 
portion of the costal and inner margins, which are rufous), the nervures (except the 
basal half of them), and a band at the end of the cell, dark brown: an oblong white 
spot on the costal margin outside the band. 
Unpersipg, as above, except that the margins and band are all rufous: that 
there is a single white spot at the apex of each wing: and that the base of the 
costal margin of the posterior wing is yellow. 
Exp. 24/5 ich. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
This species and I. Apuleia scarcely differ except in the nervures of the posterior wing: they 
bear the same resemblance, that I. Cymothoe and Artena do to each other. 
ITHOMIA ZITELLA. 167. 
Uppersipr. Male, orange rufous. Anterior wing crossed beyond the middle 
by a zigzag band of yellow, bordered irregularly with dark brown: the inner margin 
and linear marginal spots between the nervures, dark brown. Posterior wing with 
broad rays of dark brown between the nervures. 
UnpersipE, as above, except that both wings have a submarginal band of 
minute white spots between the nervures. 
Exp. 235 inch. Hab. Amazon (Nauta). 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
ITHOMIA ADELINDA. 168. 
Uprrrsipe. Female, transparent: the anterior wing tinted with purple, the 
posterior wing with yellow: the nervures (except those at the middle of the posterior 
wing which are yellow) and margins black. Posterior wing with a large orange spot

anterior wing, and a submarginal band of similar spots on the posterior wing.
