Imago Habitus and Differences from alike species
- Somewhat similar to the Ethiopian, but smaller than her, and not as bright Euryale, as the Ethiopian. There is also a similarity with ligea, but Euryale already has a sash on the outer edge of the front wings, and this sash itself may consist of separate spots. The underside of the hindwings is characterized by blurry eyes surrounded by red-yellow rings. Very changeable view. [85].
