Diaphanos is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae. There are three recognised species in the Neotropics, and one undescribed subspecies of D. huberi. [1]
The type species by original designation is Diaphanos huberi Adams & Bernard, 1981 from the Cordillera de Merida in Venezuela. [2] It was originally considered to be a monobasic genus, but two additional species were described from separate mountaintops in the Venezuelan Andes. [3]
