Ramadasa plumbeola Warren

Ramadasa plumbeola Warren, 1916, Novit. zool., 23: 210.

Diagnosis

The smallest species in Borneo, plumbeola has a darker, browner distal part of the forewing, with the apical patch smaller than in fumipennis and bounded by a narrower dark brown band. The subtornal dark spot seen in fumipennis is lacking in plumbeola. The hindwings are uniform brown above, except for yellow narrowly around the dorsal margin.

Geographical range

N.E. Himalaya, Sumatra, Borneo, Bali.

Habitat preference

All three specimens recorded in recent surveys are from lowland forest: at Labi in Brunei (as fumipennis); in alluvial forest at 70m near the foot of G. Mulu; in dipterocarp forest on limestone at 250m on the slopes of G. Api. Martini & Thony (1993) recorded a singleton at 950m (Apin Apin) on G. Trus Madi in Sabah.
