Very closely allied to Edessa; the band at the end of the cell is at a very different angle, and 
much further from the base of the wing. Another nervule is also seen on the posterior wing (not a 
sexual distinction in this case, because they are both females). 
ITHOMIA TIMNA. 44. 
Uprrrsipn. Female: transparent rufous-white. ‘The margins and the nervures 
(except where they cross the white of the anterior wing) black. Anterior wing, with 
a narrow triangular band at the end of the cell, followed by a broad band of white 
reaching to the middle of the outer margin; the second median nervule broad and 
straight. 
Uypersipg, with the black rufous, with indistinct white spots at the apex of 
both wings. 
Expan. 14% in. Hab. Venezuela.

This species has a great resemblance to I. Vestilla of a former Plate; but has the nervures of 
the posterior wing differently placed. I have not seen the Male.
