The genus Euthalia (“Barons” and “Counts”) is
represented in Vietnam by 32 species – a hard genus with many new
species described in the years 1990-2000. Identification is
confounded by the fact that the males and females of each species are
usually very different in colour and pattern, and because several of the
species produce a number of different colour forms or morphs.
