P. kenara Btlr. (= female salvini Fldr., Drc.) (62 a). Forewing similar as in
ithomia, the apical spots smaller. Hindwing likewise similar to the preceding,
but the veins and costa quite black. Forewing beneath at the base broadly
ochreous-yellow, with a black cellular spot. -- The form separata form. nov. (62
b) has the band of the hindwing broken up into broad black streaks on the veins.
Panama, Colombia, Venezuela.

The ithomia paragraph referred to (same work, p. 438, pl. 62 a):

P. ithomia Fldr. (62 a) is rather variable, head and thorax black, dotted white
or yellow, abdomen blackish-brown, at the base more or less ochreous-brown,
beneath straw-coloured. Forewing blackish-brown, in the basal area without or
with ochreous-brown longitudinal stripes at the costa and on the fold. Discal
band composed of ochreous, yellow or white spots, a likewise yellow or white
subapical band, a series of large similar marginal spots. Hindwing ochreous,
costa basally and distal margin broadly black, with yellow or white marginal
spots. Panama, Honduras. It copies Heliconius zuleika Hew. (Vol. V, t. 74 c)
flying in the same region.
