margin of the posterior wing is yellow, that there is a rufous ring round its centre, and 
that the yellow band is almost white.

With this species there is a variety in which the band and white spots of the anterior wing are 
yellow, also varieties of 7’, Humboldtii in which the bands and spots of both wings are bright yellow. 
HELICONIA CHOARINA. 24, 25. 
Feliconia Choarina. Hewitson. Entom. Mon. Mag. Vol. IX. p. 83 (1872). 
Uprrrsipr. Black: Anterior wing tinted with blue; an irrorated band of 
white from the base: crossed beyond the middle by a curved irregular band of six 
white spots three of which are bifid and by a submarginal band of white spots (some 
in pairs). Posterior wing crossed beyond the middle by a broad band divided by the 
nervures into eight spots six of which are pale yellow, the two nearest the apex white : 
a submarginal series of white spots in pairs between the middle of the wing and the 
anal angle. 
Unversipx as above except that it is rufous-brown, that the band from the base 
of the anterior wing is broader and has below it a spot which is attached to the lowest 
spot of the central band and that there is a marginal series of white spots in pairs: 
that the posterior wing has the base of the costal margin white, is crossed before the 
middle by a lilac-white band, and has the transverse band white.

This adds a third species to that very rare groupe represented hitherto by H. Cassandra and 
H. Hecuba which so much resemble Tithorea Humboldtii and Bonplandi.
