HELICONIDH—ITHOMIA. 
ITHOMIA KEDEMA. 33. 
Uprrrsipz. Male transparent rufous; the margins (except the immer margin of 
the posterior wing) light brown. Anterior wing, with the nervures and an indistinct 
spot in the middle of the cell, brown; divided into spots beyond the middle by a 
cloud of neutral colour. Posterior wing, with the nervures, orange; divided into 
spots near the outer margin by a cloud of neutral colour. 
UnpzrsIDE as above, with two spots at the apex of the anterior wing, and a line 
of oval spots near the margin of the posterior wing (two between each nervure), 
white.

This and the last described are as nearly allied as I. Giulia and Aletta, and derive their distinctive 
characters from the same nervures of the posterior wing. They are both males. This species scarcely 
differs, except in the same nervures, from C. Jemina (Hubn. Zut. 807). Dircenna Iambe—Gen. Diur.

Urrnrsipr. Male (36) transparent glossy white. Anterior wing, with the 
margins, a narrow band at the end of the cell, and the nervures, black; divided into 
spots beyond the middle bya cloud of neutral colour ; two indistinct spots at the apex. 
Posterior wing tinted with orange beyond the middle; the nervures orange. 
UnpersivE as above. ‘The white spots at the apex of the anterior wing more

Much as these three Butterflies vary in colour, I cannot separate them. I have no doubt what- 
ever that Figs. 35 and 36 are of the same species. The Female does not differ from the Male, except 
in the greater quantity of colour. A Male in the Collection of Dr. Boisduval has much less orange on 
the posterior wing. With regard to Fig. 34, there is room for some doubt. Besides wanting colour, 
it is less glossy, has the nervures of the posterior wing black, and the margins below rufous.
