ITHOMIA. XI. 
ITHOMIA DERASA. 61. 
I, Derasa. Boisd. Ms. 
Urrrersipz. Male transparent yellow-white; the margins (the outer margins 
broad) brown. Anterior wing with a curved very narrow band at the end of the cell, 
and the second and third median nervules black, the rest of the nervules (except where 
they run into the outer margin) yellow. Outer margin of both wings with white 
spots, indistinct on the anterior wing, except at the apex. 
Unpersinz as above, except that the white spots are more distinct. 
Expan. 1485 im. Hab. Nicaragua. 
In the Collection of Dr. Boisduval. 
ITHOMIA ELARA. 62, 63. 
Uprrrsipz. Male anterior wing dark or light brown, with a large triangular 
space from the base to beyond the middle, and an oblique narrow band between it and 
the apex, light-yellow. 
Unprrsipe as above, with a rufous band parallel to the costal and outer margins, 
broken by both ends of the narrow band. Posterior wing with a similar rufous band 
near the outer margin. Both wings with a row of white spots between the rufous 
band and the margin from the apex to the middle. 
Expan. 158 to 144m. Hab. Amazon. 
In the Collections of W. W. Saunders and W. C. Hewitson. 
I believe these figures to be varieties of the same species. They are both males, and the 
females do not differ from them, nor do they differ from each other, except in the depth of colour 
and the triangular mark near the costal margin of the posterior wing of Fig. 63; but this difference 
occurs in the same species of other Ithomias. These form a connecting link between Reckia of 
Hubner, and Eurimedia of Cramer (Aegle, Hubn.), and are I think sufficiently distinct from both; the 
band across the apex is narrower, they have more of the rufous submarginal band on the under- 
side, and the white spots near the margin do not extend beyond the middle of the wing.
