One S from River Area, British New Guinea (Weiske). 



Distinguished from JJ. fasriatu and sanyuinala Warr. by the absence of 

 orange-red speckling, the narrower and more regular bands, and the ab.sence 

 of marginal and cell-spots.

 64. Abraxas expectata sp. nov. 



Forcwings: white; the costa and hindmargin broadly but irregularly black, 

 connected by a broad bar across the discocellnlar, the white spaces thus being two

 blotch before a])ex ; fringe black ; a yellow dot at base. 



Iliiidwings : with the broad costal streak of forewings continued across the 

 base ; hindmargin broadl}' black from liefore apex to anal angle, the white area 

 forming an angle into it beyond cell.

 base, which is wholly orange ; the blotch of hindmargin fnlly joined to the orange 

 of the base. Head, thorax, and abdomen black ; shoulders and pectus pale ochreous
