Introduction

The genus Chliaria, ranging from India to Borneo, is very closely-related to Hypolycaena. Eliot states that the only consistent difference is the form of the antennal club, and that the male genitalia of Chliaria are similar to those of Hypolycaena. Larvae feed on orchid flowers.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
