HELICONIDE. 
ITHOMIA III. 
ITHOMIA VALLONIA. 13. 
UprrersipeE. Male. Anterior wing transparent, slightly tinted with yellow. The 
base and a spot near the anal angle orange. A triangular spot within the cell, a band at 
the end of the cell (sinuated on both sides), the second median nervule which is broad, 
the apex and the margins (the outer margin very broadly so) black. Posterior wing 
with the upper half transparent, slightly tinted with crimson, followed by a narrow band 
of black, a band of orange, and a marginal border of black. Both wings with a submar- 
ginal row of white spots. 
UNDERSIDE as above. 
Expan. 24, in. Hab. River Amazon. 
In the Collection of W. W. Saunders. 
This very beautiful species, from the Collection of Mr. Saunders, might easily be mistaken for Sais 
Cyrianassa of Doubleday, figured in the “ Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera.” It is, however, very distinct, 
and differs from it in the position of the nervures of the posterior wing. 
ITHOMIA VEIA. 14. 
Urrrrsipe. Female, transparent. Anterior wing, slightly tinted with yellow 
with the margins (narrow except at the apex), a band at the end of the cell (slightly 
forked at its lower end), and the nervures (except where they are crossed by a large 
oblique spot of yellow beyond the end of the cell), black. Posterior wing with a broad 
costal and outer margin, and the nervures black. 
UnpersivE rufous where black above. Apex of the anterior wing and margin of 
the posterior with white lunular spots. 
Expan. 2 in. Hab. unknown. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
ITHOMIA SALAPIA. 15. 
Urrrrsipz. Male transparent, slightly tinted with green. Anterior wing with 
the margins broadly black. A band at the end of the cell, and the second and third 
median nervules which proceed from it also black. The usual spot on the costal margin, 
and one or two at the apex, white. Posterior wing with a broad border of black on the 
costal and outer margins; the nervures white till they approach the outer margin, where 
they become black.
