Medium-sized butterflies, with elongated narrow hind wings with long tails. In the anal region of the posterior wing there is a rather wide protrusion that wraps itself on the upper side of the wing. The color is dark - black, black-brown or grayish-ash with contrasting, red or orange spots on the hind wing.
Tropical butterflies without a clear change of generations during the year, as a result, at the same time, all stages of butterfly development can be observed in nature - from egg to imago . Most species are trophically associated with kirkazons .
