(Plate X7.) 



This plate is presented in order to show the variableness of the 

 linear markings of this species on the under side of secondaries. 

 The variations are common regardless of locality, and have no signifi- 

 cance except to show nature's moods. The specimens represented 

 came from Venezuela to Bolivia. 



Ithomia drogheda A. G. Weeks, Jr. 1 



(Plate XVI.} 

 Habitat: Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse: 2.50 inches. 



Head black, with a white circle around the eyes. Antennae black. Club tawny. 

 Thorax above black, with a prominent lemon-yellow spot at the junction with the 

 costa of fore wings ; beneath, lemon-yellow. Abdomen nearly black above, with 

 four lemon-yellow dots on the lower segments; beneath lemon-yellow. Legs 

 black above, white beneath. 



Upper side of fore wing transparent, with tawny, black, and yellow markings. 

 Costa black. Discoidal space transparent, with dusting of tawny scales towards 

 the base, and a suggestion of a black spot near the centre. A heavy dusting of 

 black scales extends from the costa downwards across the end of the discoidal 

 space, suffusing to hind margin along the median nervure, and also along the 

 first submedian nervule, somewhat tawny near the margin. Apical area black. 

 Between the apical area and the band or dusting of black scales above noted 

 the space is transparent, heavily dusted with brown scales near the costa. The 

 space below median nervure to the hind margin is black, with tawny scales 

 along the nervure. 



The upper side of hind wing has the same ground coloring. The upper half 

 of the wing, including the discoidal space and its immediate surroundings, is 

 transparent, the nervures and nervules being heavily dusted with lemon-yellow. 

 The edges of this transparent area are black, the lower portion forming a band 

 across the wing from the centre of inner margin nearly to the upper angle. 

 This transparent area shows a tendency to extend downwards to hind margin in 

 the first submedian interspace. Below this the area to hind margin is tawny. 

 The hind margin has a generous black border, wavy on its basal edge. 



The under side of both wings is the same as upper surfaces, the dusting of 

 lemon-yellow scales being more marked. At the apex of the fore wing are four
