Thauria

Thauria or the junglekings is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae.

The genus ranges from Burma to Borneo.

The butterflies are large and brightly coloured on the dorsal surface.

The ventral wing surfaces are disruptively patterned and look like dead leaves, allowing the butterflies to blend into leaf litter on the forest floor.

Cryptic ventral patterns have arisen multiple times in various forest-floor dwelling groups of Nymphalidae.
