Hindwings : with the costa narrowly and the hiudmargiu 1)roa<lly bhick ; cell- 

 spot variable in size, sometimes all but obsolete. 



Underside the same. Face and collar yellow; thorax and alidomen yellow, 

 spotted with black. 



Expanse of wings : .34 — 40 mm. 



A good series from Pnio Lant, south of Borneo, May 1891 (W. Doherty). 



Related to A. subhi/alinafa EOli., but larger and without any yellow markings. 



202. Abraxas invasata sp. nov. 



Like A. maculicincja. Wlk., but with two series of black submargiual spots 

 instead of one ; the marginal row partially confluent with those of the outer sub- 

 marginal, while the inner or postmedian row is nearer the base of the wing ; apical 

 third of forewings wholly black, but containing a single triangular or hook-shaped 

 white spot ; a black costal curved spot close to base, nearly confluent with a thinner 

 one on inner margin ; a large black costal blotch at one-third, with irregular black 

 spots below it ; cell-blotch large, sometimes connected above with some small sub- 

 costal spots ; base of both wings with several small irregular black spots and streaks. 



One (?, one ? , from Kina Balu, North Borneo. 



203. Abraxas moniliata sp. nov. 



Forewings : cream-white, with smoky blackish markings ; the liasal area 

 yellow, limited by a broad curved black line, dentate outwardly on the median and 

 snbmediau veins, and crossed by a similar curved line following a black basal spot : 

 the cell occupied by a diffuse blotch, connected above with a median costal blotch, 

 and throwing oif below a narrow sinuous mark, sometimes double, to the inner 

 margin ; an exterior fascia of confluent round spots, bent opposite the cell ; a similar 

 submarginal fascia, its inner edge curved, its outer crenulate, confluent below with 

 the exterior fascia, and followed below by three or four blotches, which are also 

 sometimes confluent ; a marginal row of dark lunnles blackish, like the fringe. 



Hindwings : with the base, an antemedian fascia, swollen in cell and on inner 

 margin, a postmedian curved double fascia of confluent spots, and a marginal scries 

 of lunules with the fringe blackish. 



Underside the same. Legs, palpi, face, and antennae black ; vertex yellow : 

 thorax and abdomen yellow, with numerous black spots. 



Expanse of wings : 58 mm. 



A pair from Bua Kraeng, South Celebes, .5000 feet, February 1896 (Frnlistorfer). 



204. Abraxas pleniguttata sp. nov. 



Foreioings : white, with basal patch fulvous, edged with blacki.sh brown and 

 interrupted below the median ; central area with a double dark grey spot on inner 

 margin, a large round one on the submedian fold, two more obliquely above it, a 

 large cell-blotch, and costal blotch above it ; in the darker examples these are all 

 more or less confluent ; exterior line formed of two sinuous rows of round grey 

 spots, divergent towards costa, confluent and purple-tinged mixed with fulvous 

 below ; in the dark specimens the outer row becomes a line, and the spots become 

 laterally confluent ; an irregular row of s])ots follows ; a row of marginal spots, 

 sometimes confluent, with one submarjjinal on vein 4.
