ANTHOMYZA heliconides,
Heliconian Burnet.
Anterior wings black, with one basal and two transverse hyaline yellowish white bands: posterior yellowish white, with a broad black border, margins of both wings dotted with white.
If we were not in possession of both sexes of the foregoing species, we should have suspected that this was a mere sexual difference; but the spots are transparent. The remarkable resemblance between this and some of the Heliconian butterflies, particularly Linus and Psidii, (Cr. pl. 257.) is truly astonishing. Nature could not have stamped their analogy stronger.
