I am much indebted to Mr. Butler of the British Museum for enabling me to correct this error. 
I was not before aware that Fabricius had described species in his “ Genera Insectorum.”’ The 
description of Aegle is so exact as to distinguish it from the very nearly allied species now 
figured. 
ITHOMIA ZEREPHA. 173. 
Uprersipr, male, black. Anterior wing with eight transparent spots of lilac- 
white: the first at the base triangular, the second within the cell, the third (trifid) 
near the costal margin, three below this touching each other, and two near the apex. 
Posterior wing transparent, with the outer margin brown. 
UnprrsipE as above, except that the apical spots of the anterior wing are 
surrounded by a rufous band, and that the costal and outer margins of the posterior 
wing are traversed by a broad rufous band. 
Exp. 23'9 inch. Hab. Cayenne. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
ITHOMIA ALIDELLA. 174. 
Urrrrsipr. Female, rufous-white: the margins and disco-cellular band dark 
brown. Anterior wing with a band of yellow at the end of the cell. 
Unpersipp as above, except that all the margins and the centre of the band 
are rufous: the apex of each wing with a single white spot. 
Exp. 23% mch. Hab. New Granada. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
Scarcely differs from Alida, except in the disco-cellular nervures of the anterior wing: 174a. 
represents those of Alida, 174b. those of Alidella. This species seems to agree nearly with Felder’s 
description of Eulyra. He, however, says that it is considerably smaller than Cymothoe, which this is 
not, and that it has a submarginal series of white spots on the underside, which this is without. 
ITHOMIA ZALMUNNA. 175, 176. 
Uprrrsipr. Male, transparent, rufous: the outer margins and disco-cellular 
band dark brown. Anterior wing with the costal and part of the inner margin 
rufous. Posterior wing with four white spots on the outer margin. 
Unpersipr as above, except that all the margins are rufous. 
Female like the male, except that the disco-cellular nervures of the posterior wing 
are banded with brown, and that its outer margin is much broader, and has six large 
white spots. 
Exp. 233 inch. Hab. Ecuador. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
Perhaps only a variety of I. Theudelinda, In this species the female has the colouring of the 
male of Theudelinda.
