Euthalia telchinia, the blue baron,[1][2] is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in South and Southeast Asia. It was first described by Édouard Ménétries in 1857.[1][2]

It is found in Sikkim, Assam[1] to Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos.[2][3] This species is historically known in the Western Ghats from a single verified record from Sampaje Ghat in Dakshina Kannada (Yates 1931).[4] Several more unconfirmed records have been subsequently reported (Larsen 1987).[5] But no new records after that.
