''Hypolimnas'' is a genus of tropical brush-footed butterflies commonly known as eggflies or diadems. The genus contains approximately 23 species, most of which are found in Africa, Asia, and Oceania. One species, the Danaid Eggfly (''H. misippus''), is noted for its exceptionally wide distribution across five continents; it is the only ''Hypolimnas'' species found in the Americas. Eggflies are known for their marked sexual dimorphism and Batesian mimicry of poisonous milkweed butterflies (Danainae). For example, the Danaid Eggfly mimics ''Danaus chrysippus'' while the Great Eggfly (''H. bolina'') mimics the Australian Crow (''Euploea core''). In each case, the eggfly mimics the danainid's markings, thus adopting the latter's distasteful reputation to predators without being poisonous itself. ==Species== Listed alphabetically.〔(''Hypolimnas'' ), funet.fi〕 *''Hypolimnas alimena'' (Linnaeus, 1758) *''Hypolimnas anomala'' (Wallace, 1869) – Malayan Eggfly *''Hypolimnas antevorta'' (Distant, 1880) *''Hypolimnas anthedon'' (Doubleday, 1845) – Variable Eggfly *''Hypolimnas antilope'' (Cramer, ()) *''Hypolimnas aubergeri'' Hecq, 1987 *''Hypolimnas aurifascia'' Mengel, 1903 *''Hypolimnas bartelotti'' Grose-Smith, 1890 *''Hypolimnas bolina'' (Linnaeus, 1758) – Common Eggfly or Great Eggfly *''Hypolimnas chapmani'' (Hewitson, 1873) – Chapman’s Eggfly *''Hypolimnas deceptor'' (Trimen, 1873) – Deceptive Eggfly *''Hypolimnas deois'' Hewitson, 1858 *''Hypolimnas dexithea'' (Hewitson, 1863) *''Hypolimnas dinarcha'' (Hewitson, 1865) *''Hypolimnas diomea'' Hewitson, 1861 *''Hypolimnas dimona'' Fruhstorfer, 1912 *''Hypolimnas euploeoides'' Rothschild, 1915 *''Hypolimnas fraterna'' Wallace, 1869 *''Hypolimnas inopinata'' Waterhouse, 1920 *''Hypolimnas macarthuri'' Neidhoefer, 1972 *''Hypolimnas mechowi'' (Dewitz, 1884) *''Hypolimnas misippus'' (Linnaeus, 1764) – Mimic, Danaid Eggfly, or Diadem *''Hypolimnas monteironis'' (Druce, 1874) – Black-tipped Diadem *''Hypolimnas octocula'' Butler, 1869 – Eight-spot Diadem *''Hypolimnas pandarus'' (Linnaeus, 1758) *''Hypolimnas pithoeca'' Kirsch, 1877 *''Hypolimnas salmacis'' (Druce, 1773) – Blue Diadem *''Hypolimnas saundersii'' (Hewitson, 1869) *''Hypolimnas usambara'' (Ward, 1872) – Red Spot Diadem or Usambara Diadem 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hypolimnas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
