Faunis
''Faunis'' is a genus of Asian butterflies in the family Nymphalidae. They are among the butterflies commonly known as fauns.

Morphinae
The Morphinae are a subfamily of Nymphalidae butterflies that includes the morphos, the owl butterflies (''Caligo''), and related lineages. It is either considered a sister group of the Satyrinae, or disassembled and included therein. Systematics This group sometimes includes the monotypic (sub)tribe Biina, otherwise placed in the Brassolini. This group is the subject of intense study and the following classification is subject to modification.

Melanocyma
''Melanocyma'' is a monotypic butterfly genus in the subfamily Morphinae of the family Nymphalidae. Its one species ''Melanocyma faunula'', the pallid faun, is restricted to Burma, Malaya, Thailand and Indochina in the Indomalayan realm. The wingspan of ''M. faunula'' is at around 90 millimetres. Individuals found in lowland forests are often smaller than specimens of ''M. faunula'' found on hills. There are two subspecies, ''M. f. kimurai'' and ''M. f. faunula'' Life History M. faunula individuals are known to breed in primary rainforest. They are often seen in flight in the mid-story of primary rainforest. Individuals are often known to be baited with rotting fruit. They are known to be commonly found in hill stations A hill station is a town located at a higher elevation than the nearby plain or valley.
