The butterflies of this group "mimic" different species of the "protected" subfamily 

 Banaina, and are found from Continental India throughout the Malayan Archipelago. This 

 and the two following groups have been thus diagnosed by Mr. Wallace :— 



"Larvffi elongate, attenuate behind, and often bifid, with lateral and obliciue pale stripes, green. 

 Imago with the abdominal margin in <? rellexed, wooly or hairy within; aual valves small, haii-y; 

 antennae short, stout ; body stout."
