black (the outer margins, as in Fig. 69, sometimes rufous). Anterior wing with a 
narrow band across the middle of the cell, and a broad oblique band at the end of the 
cell, extending beyond the median nervure, and joimed to the outer margin by two 
broad nervules. 
Unpersib#, with the margins (except the costal margin of the anterior wing)

P. Hippodamia. Fabricius, Ent. Syst. 
Uprersipg. Female. Anterior wing black, with a triangular spot at the base 
and an oblong spot both within the cell, followed beyond the middle by five spots, 
three large and divided by nervures, two small placed between the others, all trans- 
parent lilac-white. 
Posterior wing transparent lilac-white; the outer margin broadly brown, with 
the centre rufous. 
Expan. 14% in. Hab. Brazil.

I am enabled by the kindness of Dr. Boisduval to figure this the species described by Fabricius. 
If I had seen it previous to the publication of I. Egra (Exot. But., Ithomia I., Fig. 4) I should have 
figured that insect as a variety of Hippodamia, although there is some disparity of form as well as 
colour. 
ITHOMIA FIMBRIA. 71. 
Uprersipr. Female black. Anterior wing with a large rufous spot at the 
base its centre marked by a triangular spot of black ; followed within the cell by an 
oblique band, and at the middle of the wing by a transverse very irregular sinuated 
band, both pale yellow. Posterior wing, with the basal half, semi-transparent rufous- 
yellow, followed by a band of black; the outer half orange, the outer margin 
black. Both wings with a submarginal row of distinct white spots. 
Expan. 23'5 m. Hab. New Granada.

This very distinct species was sent me by Mr. T, J. Stevens, of Bogota.
