Thauria or the junglekings is a genus of butterfly in the Nymphalidae family.The genus, ranges from Burma to Borneo. The butterflies are large and brightly coloured on the dorsal surface. There is a transverse white stripe on the forewing and one or two white apical spots.The hindwing has a broad yellow margin. 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.
