3* LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY. 



with no reddish tawny markings, and with a black mark to- 

 wards the end of the cell on the hind-wings. 

 We add figures of two other species of Ithomia. 



ITHOMIA DIAPHANA. 



(Plate VII. , Fig. i.) 



Papilio diaphanus, Dairy, 111. Exot. Ent, ii., pi. 7, fig. 3 



(1773). 



This species, which inhabits Jamaica, belongs to an extremely 

 transparent group with long narrow wings, which is sometimes 

 regarded as generically distinct under the name of Hymenitis 

 (Hiibner). The tuft of hair on the wings is very conspicuous in 

 Drury's figure, from which ours is copied. 



ITHOMIA FLORA. 



(Plate VI L, Figs. 2,3) 



Papilio floret^ Cramer, Pap. Exot., iii., pi. 257, figs. B., C. 



This insect is probably a variety of I. astrea, Cramer (Pap. 

 Ex., i., pi. 22, fig. D., 1775), but as it is often represented in col- 

 lections by specimens differing from that figured by Cramer under 

 the name of /. flora^ we have been careful to copy his figure 

 exactly. Both /. astrea and I. flora are natives of Surinam. 



SUB-FAMILY III. 

 Egg. Resembling that of the Danaina. 

 Larva. Cylindrical, gregarious, with branching spines. 



Pupa. Long, slender, the thorax angulated, the abdomen 

 sometimes with spines or filaments. 



Imago. Of moderate size, the antennae strongly clubbed ;
