Cupha

Cupha is a butterfly genus of the family Nymphalidae found in the Indomalayan and the Australasian realms.

Only Cirrochroa possesses a similarly formed antennae, but it can immediately be separated as only one subcostal nervure branches before the end of the cell and through the position of the fourth nervure.
