Butterflies belonging to the order Lepidoptera are widely distributed throughout the world. A recent systematic review documented 421 species of butterflies from Bangladesh. This study presents the first records of silver royal, Ancema blanka (de Niceville, 1894); common Faun, Faunis canens (Hübner, 1826); and the rediscovery of grey baron, Euthalia anosia (Moore, 1858) from Bangladesh after 137 years in Madhabkunda Eco Park (MEP; 24o38’25″N, 92o13’06″E), Moulvibazar District, northeastern Bangladesh.
