HELICONIDA—ITHOMIA. 
ITHOMIA CLEORA. 64. 
Uprrrsipr. Male transparent rufous and hilac-white. Anterior wing with the 
margins, a curved band across the middle of the cell, a band at the end of the cell 
curved in the opposite direction and the nervures (the second and third median nervules 
broad) brown. A space near the base below the median nervure and a spot near the 
outer margin touching the second median nervule, rufous. Posterior wing broadly 
margined with brown, traversed by a band of orange; the nervures rufous; both 
wings with a submarginal row of white spots. 
UNDERSIDE as above. :

I have figured one species of Ithomia, which in its general appearance and colour reminded me 
of the genus Ituna; a second, which scarcely differs at first sight from Dircenna, and now the insect 
pe 2 have named Cleora, is very much like a species of a third Heliconian genus Athesis 
earista. 
ITHOMIA CYRIANASSA. 65. 
I. Cyrianassa. Doubleday § Hewitson Gen. Diur. Lep. Pl. 18. 
Uprrrsipr. Male and Female. Anterior wing with the basal half transparent, 
orange at the base; the margins and the outer half of the wing black, crossed by a 
large curved semi-transparent band of yellow-white, deeply sinuated on its inner edge ; 
a row of indistinct white spots near the outer margin. Posterior wing transparent ; 
the outer margin broadly orange, bounded on both sides with black. 
Unpersip8, as above. Anterior wing with the white spots more distinct. Pos- 
terior wing, with some small and indistinct spots.

The figure in the genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera was made from a very faintly-marked speci- 
men. I haye repeated it here to show its usual colouring, and have some doubt as to its being 
distinct from Rhezia of Hubner, which I have not seen. 
ITHOMIA INACHIA. 66, 67. 
Uprrrsipr. Male and Female transparent. Anterior wing with the basal half 
rufous or yellow-white ; a large oval oblique spot across beyond the middle yellow- 
white; the margins (the outer one broad) and an oblique triangular band at the end 
of the cell continued to the outer margin black. Posterior wing rufous or yellow- 
white ; the outer margin broadly black, traversed sometimes by a band of orange. 
The outer margins of both wings with a row of scarcely visible spots, except at the 
apex of the anterior wing, where two of them are distinct. 
Unprrstbk as above, except that the outer margin of the posterior wing has 
always the orange band.

I cannot discover any distinctive character sufficient to separate these two butterflies ; they are alike 
on the underside, except that the orange margin of Fig. 67 is narrower; and it is with some doubt 
that I have separated them from Fig. 65. This species has the antenne black, Cyrianassa has them 
rufous at the point and rather longer. ,
