Abstract

A new species of Euthalia Hübner, 1819 (subgenus Limbusa Moore, [1897]) (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Limenitidinae, Adoliadini) is described from Arunachal Pradesh, northeastern India. This species, Euthalia (Limbusa) zubeengargi, Sadasivan & Upadhaya sp. nov., is assigned to the Patala group of Limbusa based on its wing pattern, venation, and male genital morphology. A detailed description of the male and its genitalia is presented, along with a revised key to the males of Subtype A2 of the Patala group sensu Yokochi (2011).
