BUTTERFLIES OF BORNEO. 117 



Confined to Borneo. 



The species was described from a female specimen, 

 which as already stated has subsequently been associa- 

 ted with E. ramada, Moore by Butler and with E. 

 bipunctata, Vollenh. by Fruhstorfer. Here occurs in 

 Borneo however a species, represented in the Sarawak 

 Museum by a series of seven male specimens for which 

 no name can be found ; the species is allied to E. laverna 

 but is abundantly distinct from it and in conjunction 

 with the late Mr. de NiceVille I regard this as the male 

 of Vollenhoven's species. As already emphasised the 

 pairing of species of JYora from cabinet specimens can 

 only be provisional sspeculative and it is equally pro- 

 bable that (i) Vollenhoven's type female is a distinct 

 species or (ii.) the female of E. ramada, Moore. It 

 certainly is not the female of E. bipunctata, Vollenh. 

 for that species has a female very like the female of E. 

 merta, Moore also a Nora. The insect that I consider 

 to be the male of E. indras, Vollenh. is now described : — 



Upperside — Uniform olive-brown with the following 

 markings :— 



Forewing, an angulated submarginal series of sagittse, 

 white outwardly bordered with fuscous, the white 

 becoming obsolescent towards the external angle of the 

 wing ; a series of five white hastale markings internal to 

 the submarginal series but fusing with it in the upper 

 discoidal interspace ; the fuscous lines in and below the 

 cell are arranged as in E. laverna, Butl. Hind- wing, a 

 submarginal series of fuscous sagittse bordered both 

 internally and externally with a shading slightly paler 

 than the ground colour ; markings in the cell as in E. 

 laverna, Butl. ; below the costal nervure and occupying 

 the basal costal and basal subcostal interspaces is a dis- 

 tinct patch of blade androconial scales which show up 

 very clearly against the olive-brown of the rest of the 

 wing. Underside. — Almost the same as in E. laverna, 

 Butl. but less ochreous and the outer border of all the
