Description
A.eumolphus is recognisable by the males, which exhibit a bright green lustre. However, it has not yet been determined whether some of these green forms differ sufficiently from each other to be classified as separate species. Typical specimens are from Northern India and are observed during the rainy season. The male is characterized by an abundant emerald-green with a golden lustre, while the jet-black marginal band is narrow on the forewing and broad on the hindwing. The female, on the other hand, is dark-red brown above with a violet-blue reflection in the basal portion; the hindwing has a small tail. In tagore Fruhst., from Assam, the male is smaller, but it has a broader black marginal band than specimens from Sikkim. In the female of this form, the blue colour above is darker, but it extends farther across the wing. — [1]
