HELICONIA VI. 
HELICONIA CYTHERA. 17. 
Heliconia Cythera, Hewitson, Equatorial Lepidoptera, p. 9. 
Upprrrstpz. Male, black glossed with blue. Anterior wing crossed trans- 
versely beyond the middle by a quinquefid band of carmine and white: the outer 
margin with minute white spots. Posterior wing with the outer margin lilac-white, 
intersected at the end of the nervures by distinct broad black lines. 
Unprrsipr as above, except that the band of the anterior wing is paler, and 
that the posterior wing has the base of the costal margin and a longitudinal band 
before the middle, yellow. 
Exp. 24% inch. Hab. Ecuador. (Angus, Buckley.) 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
Very near to H. Cyrbia, but differs from it in having the anterior wing narrower, the outer 
margin spotted with white only, whilst Cyrbia has the fringe altogether white, and in having the 
white outer margin of the posterior wing broader and not intersected by black lines between the 
nervures. 
HELICONIA ALITHEA. 18. 
Feliconia Alithea, Hewitson. Equatorial Lep. p. 10. 
Uprersrpe dark brown, tinted with blue near the base of both wings. Anterior 
wing crossed at the middle by a broad irregular band of yellow, divided by black 
nervures into eight parts (one of which is within the cell), increasing in size from that 
on the costal margin, which is bifid: a spot below these at the anal angle also yellow. 
Posterior wing with the outer margin broadly yellow, intersected by the nervures, 
which are black, and divided on its inner border, between these, by black lines. 
Unpersipz as above, except that the anterior wing has the band almost white, 
and a submarginal band of white spots, and that the posterior wing has the base of 
the costal margin yellow, a short longitudinal band of brick-red from the inner 
margin, and the band of the outer margin white. 
Exp. 3344 inch. Hab. Ecuador. (Jorge, Buckley.) 
In the Collections of W. W. Saunders and W. C. Hewitson. 
This species was previously in the Collection of Mr. Saunders, and belongs to the group of which 
H. Cydno and Sappho form part.

Fleliconia Unimaculata, Hewitson. Equatorial Lep. p. 10. 
Uprrrsipe. Male, dark brown. Anterior wing with a quadrate quinquefid
