226 Mr. A. G. Butler on new Species of 



the first basal, indistinct ; the second siibbasal, formed of three 

 rounded spots, immediately followed by two larger, almost 

 lunate spots and a rounded one on inner margin ; third and 

 fourth each of two closely approximated series, which combine 

 into one band towards the inner margin ; fifth formed of three 

 series, the first of oval submarginal spots, the second of con- 

 fluent lunate marginal spots, the third of semicircular spots 

 on the fringe : secondaries with a discocellular spot, one or 

 two dots towards base of abdominal margin, a discal inter- 

 rupted series of two or three small subcostal, and one or two 

 large abdominal spots ; a submarginal series, a marginal series 

 of elongate spots, and a series alternating with the latter upon 

 the fringe, all blackish : body ochreous, spotted with black. 

 Primaries below with all the markings sericeous grey. Ex- 

 panse of wings 2 inches 4 lines. 



Darjiling (Lidderdale) . Type B. M. 



Allied to A. lapsariata, but smaller, the white intervals 

 between the bands of primaries mottled all over with olive 

 dots and the central bands of large spots rather more sinuous. 



61. Abraxas consocia, sp. n. 



Near to the preceding, but considerably larger ; the veins 

 and borders of primaries pale olivaceous, the spots of the bands 

 blackish, many of them confluent, and the secondaries dotted 

 all with dark grey ; the ordinary spots larger, those of the 

 border confused by the numerous mottlings between them. 

 Expanse of wings 3 inches 3 lines. 



N,E. Himalayas (Lidderdale) . Type B. M. 



Call abraxas, gen. no v. 



Abraxati affine, differt autem cellulis brevioribus, vena costali 

 alarum posticarum multo breviore, vena subcostali pone cellulam 

 furcata. Gen. typ. C. amanda*. 



62. Callabraxas amanda, sp. n. 



Wings above snow-white, sericeous : primaries with the 

 basal half cupreous brown, crossed towards the base by three 

 grey lines dotted with white on the veins, the third line undu- 

 lated in the middle ; a grey-and- white V-shaped marking 

 immediately beyond the cell ; costa towards apex black ; two 

 subapical spots, one below the other, close to the costa, three 

 similar submarginal spots and an apical nebula grey ; a 

 marginal series of black spots ; one or two minute grey dots 

 near the external angle : secondaries with the external border 



* Abraxas Whitelyi of Japan may also be referred to this genus.
