1895.] L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin — Butterflies of Sumatra, 427 



230. Euthalia {Nora) ramada, Moore. 



Hagen. Not very common, found from Selesseh to Bekantschan. 



231. Euthalia (Nora) decorata, Butler. 



Originally described as Adolias decoratus from Singapore, and both 

 sexes figured by Butler. 



232. Euthalia (Nora) erana, de Niceville. 



E. (Nora) erana, de Niceville, Journ. Bomb. Nafc. Hist. Soc, vol. viii, p. 46, n. 6, 

 pL L, figs. 1, male ; 2, female (1893). 



Snellen as salia. Hagen as salia. The E. (Nora) salia of Moore 

 is quite distinct from the present species, and is confined to Java, from 

 whence I possess both sexes. E. erana is very near to E. decorata, 

 Butler, but the much less extent of the bronzy-greenish (in some speci- 

 mens purplish) coloration, and the greater width and purer whiteness 

 of the inner macular band of the hindwing on the upperside will at 

 once distinguish the males of the two species. Together with E. deco- 

 rata it is found in both large and small forests, and at no very great 

 elevation. Neither species is rare. 



233. *Euthalia (Nora ?) laverna, Butler. 



Hagen. Grose Smith. The male is figured in colours by Mr. 

 Distant from Malacca, the female in black and white from Penang. We 

 have been unable to recognise it from Sumatra. Distant's figure of the 

 male has much more the appearance of a female than of the opposite sex. 

 The Bornean form I have named E. (Nora) lavemalis. 



234. Pframeis cardui, Linnaeus. 



Snellen. Hagen. Grose Smith. Semper. This cosmopolitan 

 butterfly occurs only on the grassy plains of the Central Plateau, often 

 in large numbers. Dr. Martin only once met with a specimen in the 

 plains near Toentoengan in June, 1888, where it might have been car- 

 ried by one of the sudden storms known locally as " Sumatrans." The 

 late Herr Honrath, to whom Dr. Martin sent specimens of this species in 

 a letter, at a meeting of the Berlin Entomological Society drew atten- 

 tion to the conspicuously small size, the much darker than normal 

 coloration of the upperside of the hindwing, and the unusually large 

 white triangular spot present on the undei'side of the hindwing of 

 the Sumatran form. 



235. *Pybameis samani, Hagen. 



P. samani, Hagen, Iris?, vol. vii, p. 359. (1894). 



Dr. Hagen described this species from a single torn example
