Hyalaethea is a genus of moths in the subfamily Arctiinae. The genus was erected by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1887.
George Thomas Bethune-Baker was an English entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera, especially those in the family Lycaenidae of butterflies.
Paraduba is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. The species of this genus are found in New Guinea.
Perpheres is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. It is monotypic containing only Perpheres perpheres endemic to New Guinea.This species was previously in Danis.
Philiris is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. The species of this genus are found in the Australasian realm, mostly inhabiting tropical rainforests. Philiris was erected by Julius Röber in 1891. It is a speciose genus. Tite decided on 56 species. Sands added 11 species and placed the taxa into 21 species groups. Most species are on New Guinea. Tite considered Philiris and Candalides Hübner, 1819 to be sisters. Eliot (1973) placed Philiris in Luciini Waterhouse & Lyell, 1914, close to Hypochrysops C. et R. Felder, 1860. Compared to other members of the tribe, Philiris have relatively uniform ventral patterns with usually silvery-white ground color.
Pistoria is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. The single species of this monotypic genus, Pistoria nigropunctata, is found in New Guinea.
Prosotas is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae erected by Hamilton Herbert Druce in 1891. The species of this genus are found on New Guinea in the Australasian realm and the Indomalayan realm. An overview is provided by Hsu and Yen.
Psychonotis is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. The species of this genus are found in the Australasian realm.
Thaumaina is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. It is monotypic, containing the single species Thaumaina uranothauma.

Nacaduba cyanea, the tailed green-banded line-blue, is a species of butterfly in the family Lycaenidae, and formerly considered a member of the genus Danis. It is found in the Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia (Queensland).
Titea sublutea is a species of butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. It is found in New Guinea.
Eliot (1973) separated two species, P. sublutea (Bethune-Baker) and P. caerulea Tite from New Guinea, placing them in a new genus Titea and showed that Philiris, Titea, Parachrysops Bethune-Baker, Hypochrysops C. and R. Felder, and Waigeum Staudinger were a closely related group of genera within the tribe Luciini
