Xanthotaenia is a monotypic butterfly genus in the family Nymphalidae.[2] Its single species is Xanthotaenia busiris, the yellow-banded nymph. They can be identified by a yellow strip along their forewings.[3]
The larvae feed on Calamus, while adults spend most of their lives at ground level usually near ginger, around Faunis canens butterflies. It is semi-crepuscular in behavior.[4]
The Xanthotaenia are primarily found around Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo, in tropical rainforests at elevations between 100–300 m.
