HELICONIDA—HELICONIA. 
Unprrsipe as above, except that the anterior wing has the line at the base much 
wider, and a second row of white spots near the outer margin from the anal angle to 
the middle. The posterior wing has the costal margin, from the base to the transverse 
band, white. A band crosses the wing near the base, yellow from the imner margin to 
the cell, white in the cell and a little beyond it. Some rufous spots between this band 
and the central band, which is almost white.

This species is an excellent link to connect the genus Tithorea with Heliconia. It has the 
nervures of Heliconia, the more bulky form of Tithorea, and in colour resembles nearly T. Bonplandi 
and 'T’. Humboldtii. 
HELICONIA HERMOGENES. 12. 
Uprrrsipe black glossed with blue. Anterior wing with numerous white spots. 
Two in the cell near its outer end, five or six im a curved band across the middle, and 
eight or nine in asimilar curved band parallel to the other band and the outer margin. 
Posterior wing with the costal margin rufous, crossed towards the outer margin by a 
broad curved band of yellow divided by the nervures into seven spots. 
Unpersipe as above, except that the two spots in the cell are united, the whole 
of the inner margin broadly lustrous white; that the posterior wing has the costal 
margin near the base yellow; the costal margin in the middle, the immer margin and a 
transverse band within and near to the white band all rufous.
