Athyma Minensis
''Athyma'' is a genus of brush-footed butterflies. They are commonly known as the "true" or "typical" sergeants, to distinguish them from the false sergeants of the genus ''Pseudathyma'', a fairly close relative from the Adoliadini tribe. The genus ranges from Tibet to the Solomon Islands, but does not occur in New Guinea or Australia.

''Athyma selenophora'', the staff sergeant, is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in tropical and subtropical Asia.Western_Ghats.html" ;"title="Nilgiris (mountains)">Nilgiris, the Western Ghats">Nilgiris (mountains)">Nilgiris, the Western Ghats; Assam, Myanmar and northern Tanintharyi Region, Tenasserim. In the dry-season form the ground colour in both sexes is brown, paler in the male than in the female; the discal band variable in width, but on the whole broader both on the upper and under sides, and the ground colour on the underside ochraceous brown. Larva and pupa: Like that of '' Athyma inara'', Doubleday & Hewitson, but the dorsal patch is much smaller and there are some white spots on the sides. The pupa is distinguished from that of ''A. inara'' by slight differences in the shape of the grotesque processes on the head and thorax. The common food plant is the ''Adina cordifolia'' (Davidson, Bell and Aitken). File:VB 065 Staff Sergeant.jpg, At Jairampur, Arunachal Pr ...
