Description
Euthalia durga resembles Euthalia duda, but is much rarer; on the forewing the white median band is broader, the subapical spots smaller, on the hindwing the median area steeper and distally dentate. Under surface chiefly blue instead of yellowish-green, the distal portion of both wings nearly grey-black.

It is found in Sikkim, Abor Hills and Nagaland. In June 2022, it was declared as the State Butterfly of Sikkim.
