Tanaecia lepidea, the grey count, is a species of nymphalid butterfly found in South and Southeast Asia. Description Male The upperside is dark brown, with obscure black markings of transverse lines across the cells of both forewings and hindwings and an oblique discal fascia on the forewing. An ash-grey continuous band flows along the termen of forewings and hindwings, gradually broadening from the narrow apex of the forewing, to the tornus of the hindwing, where it covers about one-third of the wing.
