across the middle transparent; crossed near the apex by a broad curved band of 
orange. Posterior wing transparent tmted with purple, the nervures and costal and 
outer margins brown.

This species, though very distinct, has at first sight a great resemblance to Ithomia Alia of 
this work. 
ITHOMIA PERIDIA. 20. 
Upprrsipr. Male. Anterior wing black, with numerous semi-transparent 
nearly white spots, one within the cell (a double triangle); a second on the costal 
margin beyond the middle; a third a little below it; two macular bands parallel to 
the outer margin, the first of five large spots, the second near the margin of eight 
small spots. Posterior wing orange from the inner margin to the middle; the rest 
black, with two rows of spots, as on the anterior wing; the first of three spots (one 
united to the orange); the submarginal row of fine spots. 
UnpersipE as above, with an oblong spot of yellow and orange on the costal 
margin at the base of the posterior wing.

ITHOMIA HEZIA. 21. 
Uppersipe. Female. Anterior wing black, with numerous semi-transparent 
spots of light yellow, one within the cell (a double triangle); two macular bands, 
each of fine spots, somewhat parallel to the outer margin, the first a little beyond the

N.B. This species is more properly a Mechanitis. I was misled by its resemblance to two other 
figures of the plate.
