Euptychia, a diverse genus of Neotropical satyrine butterflies, has been the subject of taxonomic studies over the past several decades. However, our understanding of its species diversity and the phylogenetic relationships of species has been far from complete. A Monograph of the Genus Euptychia Hbner, 1818 (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Satyrinae) makes significant breakthroughs toward developing a firm species classification of Euptychia.

Based on travels around the globe, visits to natural history collections, and years of fieldwork, Shinichi Nakahara, Andrea Schomann, Christer Fhraeus, and Keith R. Willmott offer new morphological and molecular data. They also provide a review of archival records to produce a comprehensive analysis of what is known about Euptychia today.
