HELICONID. 
TITHOREA AND HELICONIA. VII. 
TITHOREA TAMASEA. 1, 2, 3. 
> 
Uprerstpe. Male, black. Both wings crossed beyond the middle by a series 
of pale yellow spots: both with white spots on the fringe. Posterior wing crossed 
near the base by a transverse hexafid band of pale yellow. 
UnpErsIDE as above, except that both wings are crossed by a submarginal 
series of lilac-white spots: that the anterior wing has a longitudinal ochreous band 
from the base and two rufous spots (one large) near the apex : that the posterior wing 
has an ochreous band near the base parallel to the costal margim and a broad rufous 
band beyond the middle preceding the yellow spots. 
Female like the male except that it is larger, that the band near the base of the 
posterior wing is broken into isolated spots one of which is partly rufous and that on 
the underside the rufous colouring covers a much larger space. 
Exp. 339 inch. Hab. New Granada. (Villagomes.)

HELICONIA TEMERINDA. 23. 
Uprrersipe. Male, blue-black. Anterior wing with a spot in the cell, a trans- 
verse irregular band divided into nine parts beyond the middle, a submarginal series 
of seven ill-defined spots and between them and the margin three or four indistinct 
linear spots all lilac-white. Posterior wing crossed near the outer margin by a band of 
yellow divided into seven distinct portions by the nervures. 
UnprrsieE as above, except that the anterior wing from its median nervure and 
its first branch to the inner margin is pale grey and brown: that the base of the costal
