True, and this image that I just found shows that the recto of adonia is quite different from that of the OP's butterfly -

Thank you for posting this. I have been looking for a reference for Euphaedra. I have a lot of unidentified specimens in my collection.

There are also some for other genera of nymphalidae. But even with this documentation some Euphaedra are difficult to identify.
