The numerous forms of this group [ Pseudacraea eurytus group - eurytus, dolomena and rubrobasalis] may be known at once by the long, distinct black streaks on the interneural folds of the hindwing; forewing always with 5 rounded black spots in the cell and 1 or 2 at the base of cellule 1 b.

The butterflies stand in interesting but very complicated mimetic relations with the Planema species which fly together with them.

dolomena is distinguished from all the others by the large basal dots of the forewing, which are surrounded by white or whitish rings.

Forewing in the male above with very large red hindmarginal spot, covering cellules l-2 and the posterior longitudinal half of the cellUand with a yellow subapical band, which at least in cellule 3 forms a large spot and usually has also a streak in cellule 2, nearly joined to the hindmarginal spot; in the apical part the black interneural folds are only indistinctly edged with grey; the hindwing is yellow-red above with black costal margin and broad black marginal band.

albostriata Lathy has the hindwing marked as in the type-form, but the forewing differs in the absence of the subapical band, while its apical part bears long white stripes.

[ now species Pseudacraea rubrobasalis agrees with albostriata as regards the forewing, but has in the female a sharply defined black marginal band, only 4 mm.
