Just as an FYI, I'm having trouble finding a definitive source on whether the genus is Euthalia or Bassarona. Butterflies are way out of my field of expertise, so any insect folks that can confirm would be welcome :D

Gosh, poor thing! I think what you've got here is a Great Marquis! I'll try and find a good reference page for it, but here's the stub of a Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bassarona_d...
