Confined to the Australian region the genus Hypochrysops contains some of the most dazzling coloured butterflies of all. Although relatively small insects their undersides are spattered with gold or silver lines. Most of the species occur within Australia, with only a few species and subspecies found on Papua New Guinea. All the larvae are mistletoe feeders, like the genus Delias.
