HELICONIDH®—ITHOMIA. 
ITHOMIA ATTALIA. 77. 
Urrrrsipg. Male black. Anterior wing with the basal half of the cell, a 
bilobed spot also within the cell, followed by nine other spots, all lilac-white. Two 
small spots on the costal margin, and three at the apex, opaque-white. Posterior 
wing with a central band transparent lilac-white divided by the nervures. ‘The apex 
with two or three white spots. 
Unpersipre with most of the black rufous, but chiefly m the direction of the 
nervures. The posterior wing with a submarginal row of white spots.

ITHOMIA ARDEA. 78. 
Uprrrsipr. Male transparent lilac-white; the margins and nervures (except 
where they cross the white) black. Anterior wing with an oblique triangular band 
at the end of the cell, extending beyond the median nervure, joined to the outer mar- 
gin by the second median nervule, which is broad, and followed by a band of white. 
Unpersrpn rufous where black above; the ¢ apex of both wings with some indis- 
tinct white spots.

Much resembling I. Virginia, Fig. 18, in general aspect, but with the nervures very differently 
arranged.

Uprrersipg. Female transparent rufous or lilac-white ; the mafgins and nervures 
black. An oblique band at the end of the cell, jomed to the outer margin by the 
second and third median nervules which are generally rather thicker than the other 
nervules. Posterior wing with sometimes a triangular black spot which conceals the 
disco-cellular nervules. 
Unperstpe rufous where black above; the costal margin, from the base to the 
middle of the posterior wing, yellow.

The male, of which I have seen but one example, has the band at the end of the cell narrower, 
more sinuated on its inner side, and not reaching beyond the median nervure. In some of the females 
this band reaches further than in either of the figures of the plate.
