Introduction

The genus Danis occurs in New Guinea and surrounding islands, as well as northernmost Australia. More widespread taxa formerly included in Danis are now separated into the genus Psychonotis. According to Parsons (1999), members of both genera are distasteful and engage in mimicry with one another and other New Guinea lycaenids.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
