Pteronymia

Description

Pteronymia is a genus of clearwing butterflies belonging to the tribe Ithomiini within the subfamily Danainae of the family Nymphalidae. These butterflies are primarily found in Central and South America. As their common name suggests, many species within this genus are characterized by their transparent or semi-transparent wings, a common adaptation among clearwing butterflies that helps them evade predators by making them less visible.
