Athesis is a Neotropical genus of clearwing (ithomiine) butterflies, named by Edward Doubleday in 1847. They are in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae.
Arranged alphabetically: [1]
The Heliconiinae, commonly called heliconians or longwings, are a subfamily of the brush-footed butterflies. They can be divided into 45–50 genera and were sometimes treated as a separate family Heliconiidae within the Papilionoidea. The colouration is predominantly reddish and black, and though of varying wing shape, the forewings are always elongated tipwards, hence the common name.
Coliadinae, the sulphurs or yellows, are a subfamily of butterflies with about 300 described species.
Idea leuconoe, also known as the paper kite butterfly, rice paper butterfly, large tree nymph, is a butterfly known especially for its presence in butterfly houses and live butterfly expositions. It has a wingspan of 12 to 14 cm. The paper kite is of Southeast Asian origin, but can also be found in Southern Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands.
Biblidinae is a subfamily of nymphalid butterflies that includes the tropical brushfoots. This subfamily was sometimes merged within the Limenitidinae, but they are now recognized as quite distinct lineages. In older literature, this subfamily is sometimes called Eurytelinae.
Cirrochroa aoris, the large yeoman, is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in forested areas of tropical South Asia and Southeast Asia.
Gonepteryx is a genus of butterflies in the family Pieridae; there are about 15 species of Gonepteryx. They live in Europe, Asia, and Northern Africa. They are commonly known as brimstones for the bright yellow colour of the wings of most species. These share the same name as the much larger tropical genus Anteos. These inhabit much of central and South America and also North America. This species are known for being the kings of butterfly longevity. 10–13 months is the lifespan for many temperate species. Anteos, however, is much shorter lived. The adults will often mimic ivy leaves at rest. Male brimstone butterflies can withstand cooler temperatures and are able to fly after just 4 months in hibernation. Female brimstone butterflies need warmer climates to survive, and therefore are in hibernation longer. The male butterflies have a longer life span as they are more resilient to a wider range of temperatures, unlike the female.
Anthene is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae, commonly called the ciliate blues or hairtails. The genus was erected by Edward Doubleday in 1847.
Ithomiini is a butterfly tribe in the nymphalid subfamily Danainae. It is sometimes referred to as the tribe of clearwing butterflies or glasswing butterflies. Some authors consider the group to be a subfamily (Ithomiinae). These butterflies are exclusively Neotropical, found in humid forests from sea level to 3000 m, from Mexico to Argentina. There are around 370 species in some 40–45 genera.
Vagrantini is a tribe of butterflies in the subfamily Heliconiinae found from east Africa over the Indian subcontinent to eastern Asia and Australia.
Cirrochroa, commonly called yeomen, is a genus of butterflies of the subfamily Heliconiinae in the family Nymphalidae found in southeast Asia. The genus ranges from India to New Guinea.
Athesis acrisione is a species of butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It is found from Colombia and Ecuador.
Athesis vitrala is a species of butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Peru.
Athesis clearista is a species of butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It is found in Venezuela and Colombia.
Tithorea is a Neotropical genus of butterflies belonging to the family Nymphalidae. The genus was erected by Henry Doubleday in 1847.
Melinaea is a genus of clearwing (ithomiine) butterflies. They are in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae.
Dircenna is a genus of clearwing (ithomiine) butterflies, named by Edward Doubleday in 1847. They are in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae. The genus comprises fairly large ithomiines with elongated forewings which are characterized by quite straight costae and distinctively shaped discal cells. They occur from Mexico to Southern Brazil. Larvae feed on plants from the family Solanaceae, such as Solanum and Brunfelsia.
Methona is a genus of clearwing (ithomiine) butterflies, named by Edward Doubleday in 1847. They are in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae.
Thyridia is a monotypic genus of clearwing (ithomiine) butterflies, named by Jacob Hübner in 1816. Its only species is Thyridia psidii, the Melantho tigerwing or clapping ticlear. It is in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae and is found in the Neotropical zone.
Eutresis is a genus of clearwing (ithomiine) butterflies, named by Edward Doubleday in 1847. They are in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae.
Olyras is a genus of clearwing (ithomiine) butterflies, named by Henry Doubleday in 1847. They are in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae.
