Narrative

Amathusidae Family is a family of perhaps eighty species of medium and large-sized butterflies. The family is closely related to the Morphodae of South America. The Amathusids are found from India through Malaysia and Indonesia to New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Generally, the butterflies have relatively small bodies for their wing size and frequently have ocelli (eyespots) on the underside of their wings. In the genus Zeuxidea, there is marked sexual dimorphism as the females are very unlike their corresponding mates.
