usual large costal spot before the exterior line distinct ; hindniiirgin clouded witli 

 leaden grey from anal angle to just before apex. ilindwings with an irregular 

 triangular blotch on inner margin, with traces of a curved line of dark spots, 

 but these more often than not obsolete; fringe with dark disconnected blotches. 



Expanse of wings : (^, 54 mm. ; ? , 5G mm. 



Subathu. 



Abraxas disrupta sp. no\. 



Anal patch narrowed and oblique in both wings ; costal markings much reduced; 

 a small discal blotch connected with a costal blotch above it, and having another 

 oliliquely below it ; exterior line of small grey spots ; as a rule, the whole wing is 

 covered with small detached irregular grey spots; hindmargin dark grey with a grey 

 blotch about middle. Hindwings with an irregular doul^le row of grey spots, the anal 

 blotch narrow ; the central blotches variable ; sometimes only a costal and inner 

 marginal blotch ; sometimes two or three intermediate, and at others none at all. 

 In three ? ? from the Khasia Hills the smaller six)ts are absent, and the anal 

 blotch is slightly, but only slightly, exjianded, on the forewings, while the discal 

 leaden spots are more developed. 



ExjMinse of wings : <?, 50 to 5(J mm. ; ? , 58 to (JO mm. 



Abraxas determinata sp. nov. 



Allied to intermedin Warr., but smaller ; the anal lilotch variable ; generally 

 nan-ow and oblique, uow and then broader and more conspicuous, but never large 

 and swollen ; basal blotch restricted, usually with a dark curved edge from the 

 costa ; costal spots variable ; one in centre, generally connected with a discal blotch, 

 which is very in-egular in size and shape, and generally has some smaller grey 

 blotches below it ; costal exterior spot distinct ; exterior line of spots also distinct ; 

 hindmargin and fringes narrowly gi'ey ; a dark grey blotch in the middle ; apex 

 generally pale. Hindwings with narrow anal blotch, and curved row of grey 

 submargiiial spots; a grey sjwt on costa and inner margin; hindmargin with more 

 or less connected dark grey blotches, which in jiale specimens are nearly obsolete. 



i^ubathu ; Khasia Hills. Those from the latter locality slightly more strongly 

 marked. 



Expanse of wings : 48 to 50 mm. 



Abraxas symmetrica >ii. nov. 



Of the same size and shaije as A. determinata, but with all the markings 

 much darker and more developed ; basal patch and anal patch dark, the latter 

 oblong and oblique ; costa well spotted with dark leaden grey ; discal blotch large, 

 connected with central costal spot, aud in the S with a horizontal extension us 

 far as the basal patch, continueil beneath as a narrow somewhat broken grey blotch 

 to the inner margin; the end of the discal hlotcli beyond the cell is protuberant, and 

 contains within it a small white spot; exterior line doulile towards the costa; apex 

 with several small grey spots; hindmargin narrowly grey, with a broader sjwt in the 

 middle. Hindwings with the exterior line of spots double, in regular pairs on 

 the veins; an inner grey line, starting vertically from the costa and then bent 

 nearly at right angles towards the inner margin ; hindmargin with dark grey 

 hlotches.
