Notes

The butterfly is found in forests at moderate elevations (1,100–1,200 m a.s.l.), but is localized and only found during the rainy season.
This species is very similar to Euthalia sahadeva, narayana and thawgawa. However, the tip of the antenna is black, whereas other species have yellow tips.
Yokochi (2011) recorded Euthalia thawgawa Tytler, 1940 from S. Laos. Subsequently, Yokochi (2012: 38) corrected this record, stating that "S. Laos should be deleted from the distribution of E. thawgawa". The record is considered to represent Euthalia prasobsuki. Consequently, there are currently no confirmed records of E. thawgawa from Laos.
