Note: Tribe Apaturini occurs in all Regions except Australia. The nominate genus is Apatura, of which the type species is the Purple Emperor, Apatura iris, of Europe. In the Malay Peninsula, the tribe is represented by a number of genera including Eulaceura and Euripus. Some of the species resemble butterflies in other families or groups, e.g. the female forms of Euripus nyctelius euploeoides (the Courtesan) are mimics of the Magpie Crow, Euploea radamanthus, from the Tribe Euploeini.
