1895.] L. de Niceville & Dr. L. Martin — Butterflies of Sumatra. 427 
230. Euthalia (Nora) ramada, Moore. 
Hagen. Hot very common, found from Selesseh to Bekantsclian. 
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. Nat. Hist. Soc., vol. viii, p. 46, n. 6, 
pi. 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. Wo 
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) lavernalis. 
234. Pyrameis cardui, Linmeus. 
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 hind wing, and the unusually large 
white triangular spot present on the underside of the hindwing of 
the Sumatran form. 
235. *Pyrameis samani, Hagen. 
P. samani , Hagen, Iris, vol. vii, p, 359 (1894). 
Dr. Hagen described this species from a single torn example
