Epicopeiidae

	Epicopeiidae Epicopeiidae is a family of insects in the order Lepidoptera. They are known as oriental swallowtail moths as they closely resemble some oriental swallowtail butterflies (e.g. red-bodied swallowtails). Epicopeiidae have highly varied structure in regards to body size and wing shape. Epicopeiidaen wing patterns are involved in complicated mimicry rings.

picture info	Mimaporia ''Mimaporia'' is a genus of moths in the Oriental swallowtail moth family Epicopeiidae consisting of two species, ''Mimaporia hmong'' and ''Mimaporia owadai''. First described in 2017 by Shen-Horn Yen and Chia-Hsuan Wei, as the sole species ''Mimaporia hmong'', from museum specimens held at the Natural History Museum, London. The second species, ''Mimaporia owadai'' was discovered two years after the initial description. Its members are found in Northern Vietnam, Northern India, and Sichuan Province in China. Named due to their resemblance to ''Aporia'' butterflies, this genus of moths engage in various mimetic relationships with other lepidopterans. This includes members of the butterfly genus ''Neptis'' in addition to the aforementioned ''Aporia''. Recent genetic studies put ''Mimaporia'' as a sister group to ''Nossa'' and ''Epicopeia''.
