Spotted Black Crow Butterfly

Shape of the wings as in Euploea godarti, Lucas. Upperside very dark brown, almost black, scarcely at all paler towards the terminal margins; forewings and hindwings with subterminal and terminal series of white spots; on the forewing the spots in the subterminal series much larger than the spots in the terminal series and bent inwards opposite apex, a spot in the apex of the cell often obsolescent and a discal series of four or five spots, of which one or two may be very small or obsolescent; on the hindwing the spots in the subterminal and terminal series sub-equal. Underside chocolate-brown, the white spots as on the upperside but more distinct, and in the hindwing with the addition of a spot in the apex of the cell and five or six discal small spots beyond. The antennae, head, thorax and abdomen are very dark brown, and, the antennae excepted, spotted with white beneath. It has a wingspan of 88–94 mm (3.5–3.7 in).

The spotted black crow is found in the Indomalayan realm. It is known to undertake seasonal migrations.
