A group of small to medium-sized butterflies confined to the mountains of New Guinea.

New species are being discovered all the time. Talbot, in his Monograph of 1937 mentions only four species, and yet I can now list at least ten, with possibly more to come.

Characterised by a particularly colourful underside hind wing.

The group is closely linked to the next two groups, Weiskei and Kummeri.
