HELICON. D &: 
ITHOMIA II. 
ITHOMIA ALIA. 1. 
UprersipE. Anterior wing with a large triangular transparent, slightly rufous 
space, from the base to nearly the end of the cell, where it gives place to a spot of 
white ; the rest black, with a curved band of four transparent unequal spots of lilac- 
white. Posterior wing rufous, lightest in the middle, and bordered with black, except 
on the inner margin. 
Unprrsive. Differs from the upperside in having a line of lilac-white at the apex 
of each wing. 
Exp. 15 in. Hab. River Amazon. 
In the Collection of Mr. Bates. 
This species is nearly allied to Ithomia Illinissa of this work. In colour they scarcely differ. 
ITHOMIA PATILLA. 2. 
Urrrrsipr. Anterior wing black, crossed by two broad bands. One from the base 
to near the anal angle transparent rufous-white ; the other from the costal margin at 
the end of the cell to near the middle of the outer margin, the upper part of an opaque 
white, the lower part transparent and divided by a strong black nervure. Posterior 
wing transparent rufous-white, broadly bordered (except on the inner margin) with black 
with three or four points of white upon the outer margin. 
UnprrsipE. As above, except that the margins of both wings are rufous. 
Exp. 2% in. Hab. Mexico. 
In the Collection of W. W. Saunders. 
ITHOMIA LEILA. 3. 
Urrersipg. Anterior wing black with two broad transparent bands as in the last 
species. One from the base to near the anal angle; the other (the upper part of which 
is opaque white) from the costal margin at the end of the cell to near the middle of the 
outer margin. Between the lower end of these bands a large oval transparent spot. 
The apex with one or two white points.
