Heliconiinae
The Heliconiinae, commonly called heliconians or longwings, are a subfamily of the brush-footed butterflies (family (biology), family Nymphalidae). 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. Most longwings are found in the Tropics, particularly in South America; only the Argynnini are quite diverse in the Holarctic. Especially tropical species feed on poisonous plants, characteristically Passifloraceae vines, as larvae, becoming poisonous themselves. The adult butterflies announce their acquired toxicity with strong aposematic colours, warning off would-be predators. There are several famous cases of Batesian mimicry, Batesian and Müllerian mimicry both within this group and with other butterflies. Other commonly seen food plants are Fabaceae ( ...

Vagrans
''Vagrans'' is monotypic genus with the species vagrant (''Vagrans egista'') a species of nymphalidae, nymphalid butterfly found in forested areas of tropical South Asia and Southeast Asia. Description Race ''sinha'' The upperside of the wings are rich ochre yellow. The forewing is dusky brown towards the base and near the tornus. The cel has three black sinuous lines and there is a line along the discocellulars. The interspaces beyond the apex of the cell are dark brown, the dark colour continues out in interspace 4 and joins a broad oblique short band from the costa. The dusky-brown shading at bases of interspaces 1–3 darkens outwards; Other marks include a transverse postdiscal series of dark brown spots, interrupted by large quadrate dark brown marks in interspace 4 and below costa; a subterminal lunular line and a broad terminal band dark brown or black. Hindwing is shaded toward the posterior and outer half by dusky brown and has a postdiscal row of dark brown spots ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Terinos
''Terinos'' is a genus of Nymphalid butterflies. They are found from Burma, through South-East Asia, to New Guinea New Guinea (; Hiri Motu: ''Niu Gini''; , fossilized , also known as Papua or historically ) is the List of islands by area, world's second-largest island, with an area of . Located in Melanesia in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, the island is .... The few species belonging to this genus differ from those of the closely-allied '' Cynthia'' and '' Cirrochroa'' in being adorned with a most magnificent, blue-violet velvety lustre. Their chief characteristics consist in the ciliated eyes (which in the Argynnidae appear nearly always naked), in the manner in which the subcostal nervules branch off, in the direction of the lower discocellular which closes the cell in the hindwing and finally in the enormous sexual spots. In ''Terinos'', the first subcostal is placed before the end of the cell, the second at the very end or a short distance beyond, the third and fourth ...

Cirrochroa
''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. Description Fairly large, broad-winged butterflies. The outer edges of the wings are wavy. The ground colour of the upper side is usually brown-orange, but can also be brown or blue. The wingtips are usually darker, and often have one or more thin brown zigzag lines along the outer edge and a series of brown spots on the hindwing. The underside of the wings is usually light brownish at the root, darker in the outer half.''Cirrochroa'' is very nearly allied to '' Cynthia''; but one can immediately recognize them through the delicate antennae, which are only slightly thickened at the end, and which bear no distinctly defined club. Further distinguishing characters are to be found in the strongly swollen palpi, the last joint of which is very finely pointed, the naked eyes and the simple precostal ...

Cupha
''Cupha'' is a butterfly genus of the family Nymphalidae found in the Indomalayan and the Australasian realms. The ''Cupha'' species are sharply divided from related genera by two characters: the thread like almost clubless antennae and the fourth subcostal nervure of the forewings finishing in the costal border. Only ''Cirrochroa'' possesses a similarly formed antennae, but it can immediately be separated as only one subcostal nervure branches before the end of the cell and through the position of the fourth nervure. In all the other genera it finishes either in the apex or in the outer border The species have rounded wings and undersides with eye-spots resemble Satyridae.
