Euploea est genus papilionum subfamiliae Danainarum familae Nymphalidarum. Species coloribus plerumque sunt obscurae, saepe denigratissimae, quam ob rem eae corvi vulgo appellantur. Ut fieri solet in earum subfamilia, eae sunt venenosae, quia larvae plantis generis Asclepiadis et aliis plantis toxiferis vescuntur. Colores larvarum sunt aposematici, qui praedatores victu arcent, et ergo species non cognatae et non vel minus venenosae papiliones adultos saepe imitantur.
