Résumé

Euthalia malaccana Fruhstorfer, 1899, a species previously thought to be dubious in its occurrence in India, is confirmed in Arunachal Pradesh through direct observation and photographic evidence. First described as a subspecies of Euthalia adonia (Cramer, [1780]), Euthalia malaccana was considered rare, with limited records from Southeast Asia. Previous studies, including Yokochi (1999), raised doubts about its presence in India, citing misidentifications. Our findings provide concrete evidence of this species’ distribution in India, marking a significant extension of its range in the region.
