Philiris is a genus of

Julius Röber
in 1891. It is a speciose genus. Tite decided on 56 species.[2] Sands[3][4] added 11 species and placed the taxa into 21 species groups (broadly accepted by Parsons).[5] Most species are on New Guinea. Tite considered Philiris and Candalides Hübner, 1819 to be sisters. Eliot (1973)[6] placed Philiris in Luciini Waterhouse & Lyell, 1914, close to Hypochrysops C. et R. Felder, 1860. Compared to other members of the tribe, Philiris have relatively uniform ventral patterns with usually silvery-white ground color.[1]
