}} Precis is a genus of nymphalid butterflies described by Jacob Hübner in 1819.[1] They are commonly known as commodores and are found in Africa. Two species are endemic to Madagascar. DescriptionPrecis are medium-to-large butterflies (wingspan up to 5 cm). The upperside ground colour is black with white, pink, green, or blue spots and bands, the upperside may also have a brownish ground colour. The wings often have eyespots. The outer wing margins are wavy and toothed or scalloped. The species tend to have rainy-season and dry-season forms which can look quite different. Many of the species can occur in several other colour forms (morphs). BiologyPrecis are savannah species. They are good fliers. The larvae feed on Lamiaceae. TaxonomyThe genus Precis is closely allied to Junonia. The two genera differ in the structure of their genitalia and larval food plant choice. The type species of the genus is Precis octavia.
