Introduction
A genus of lowland neotropical butterflies. Eurybia species perch on the undersides of leaves, darting out and flying rapidly when disturbed, but often returning to the same leaf. They are superficially reminiscent of geometrid moths.
As shown in the picture of the mating pair of E. caerulescens, sexes may have dimorphic wing patterns, and most of the species also exhibit geographical variation. These factors make species determination difficult.References
