成年人的Euthalia phemius复杂，这是由三个东南亚nymphalid物种，Euthalia phemius，Euthalia ipona，和Euthalia euphemia，通过检查线粒体和核基因进行了遗传分析。急诊此外，还从形态学上研究了菲米斯复合体，特别强调了翅膀标记和雄性生殖器。三个物种之间的复杂的没有显着差异，检测到无论是遗传距离或生殖器形态。因此，我们得出结论，目前公认的三个Euthalia物种属于一个单一的物种。因此，E. ipona与E.费米斯。Euthalia euphemia被认为是E.费米斯。所有分类群的模式标本和E. Phemius复形。此外，我们还简要讨论了物种复合体的演化和物种地理学。
Adults of the Euthalia phemius complex, which is composed of three South-East Asian nymphalid species, Euthalia phemius, Euthalia ipona, and Euthalia euphemia, were genetically analysed by examining mitochondrial and nuclear genes. The E. phemius complex was also examined morphologically, with particular emphasis on wing markings and male genitalia. No significant differences amongst the three species in the complex were detected with respect to either genetic distance or genital morphology. We therefore conclude that the three currently recognized Euthalia species belong to a single species. Accordingly, E. ipona is synonymized with E. phemius. Euthalia euphemia is treated as a subspecies of E. phemius. Type specimens of all taxa and a synonymic list for the E. phemius complex are also given. In addition, we briefly discuss the evolution and biogeography of the species complex.
