The numerous forms of this group [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 1b.

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

[3] The larvae feed on Mimusops obovata, Englerophytum magalismontanum, E. natalense and Donella viridifolia.

False wanderers display a rare example of stable genetic Underdominance.

Individuals who are heterozygous for this trait appear to be intermediate in appearance and thus experience increased predation and lowered overall fitness, since false wanderers heavily rely on Batesian mimicry for survival.
