Classification

Class
Insecta

Cupha is a butterfly genus of the family Nymphalidae found in the Indomalayan and the Australasian realms. The Cupha species are sharply divided from related genera by two characters: the thread like almost clubless antennae and the fourth subcostal nervure of the forewings finishing in the costal border. 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.
