About seven species of medium to large butterflies with characteristic colour patterns. They are probably the fastest  flying butterflies in the Neotropics , but are solitary, shy and wary. The males have yellow androconial tufts  on the upper surface of he hindwings, whilst  the ocellus near the apex, and the one near the torus are markedly enlarged- in contrast to the Archaeoprepona species.
