LA:
≈ The upper surface is similar in several of this genus, like the BOLORIA SELENE (Small Pearl-bordered Fritillary) and BOLORIA EUPHROSYNE (Pearl-bordered fritillary). 
≈ The BOLORIA DIA (Weaver's fritillary) is also similar except for the under surface which is more blue-purple instead of red-brown.
