LTRHOMIA. .- VI. 
ITHOMIA GIULIA. 30. 
Urrersipe. Female transparent, slightly rufous; the margins (except the 
inner margins from the base to beyond the middle) black. Anterior wing with an 
oblique band at the end of the cell, and most of the nervures black ; divided into 
spots beyond the middle by an indistinct cloud of neutral tint; the costal and outer 
margins to the middle, and the nervures of the posterior wing (except near their 
points, which are black), orange. 
UnpersIDE as above, except that there are three white spots at the apex of the 
anterior wing, and a line of white spots near the outer margin of the posterior wing ; 
two between each nervule. 
The Male does not differ, except in the form of the posterior wing. 
Expan. 2345 m. Hab. New Granada. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
ITHOMIA ALETTA. 31. 
Does not differ from I. Giulia except in the nervures of the posterior wing. 
Male and Female alike. 
Expan. 14 in. Hab. Venezuela.

The same words used to describe the preceding species will apply to this as well. They are, 
however, abundantly distinct, as will be seen by the very different arrangement of the nervures of the 
posterior wing, better shown by delineation than description ; indeed, written descriptions only are 
worse than useless to point out the nice distinctions which characterise some of the species of Ithomia. 
No descriptions of Heliconidze are more accurate than those of the Icon. du Régne Animal, by M. 
Guérin-Meneyille ; but are yet so insufficient, that Mr. Doubleday could not identify the Ithomias 
by them, though several of them were before him, and, indeed, left them out of this genus. 
ITHOMIA LATILLA. 32. 
Urrrrsipr. Male transparent rufous; the margins (except the imner margin 
of the posterior wing) brown. Anterior wing, with the nervures, a very slight 
triangular band within the end of the cell, and an indistinct spot in the middle of 
the cell, brown; divided into spots beyond the middle by a cloud of neutral tint. 
Posterior wing more rufous ; the nervures entirely rufous. 
UnpERsIDE as above, with two white spots at the apex of the anterior wing, and 
a line of white spots near the margin of the posterior wing, large and round; one 
between each nervule. : 
The sexes are alike.
