Euthalia kanda


Euthalia kanda is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It is found in the Indomalayan realm.
A plain species above unicolorous dark umber-brown of a peculiar golden-green bronze lustre. On the forewing the cellular spots as in apicalis, both wings traversed by slightly undulate black lines closely approaching each other on the hind¬wing. Beneath it resembles a very pale merta
but with much more delicate markings. An essential characteristic to distinguish the sexes by are the black crescent-shaped rings at the end of the cell in the forewing, which are narrower and more compressed than in any other Euthalia. Antennae quite red beneath, above as far as the middle brillant pale fulvous, differing from those of all other species.
