Mnais is a genus of broad-winged damselflies, known as copperwings, in the family Calopterygidae. The genus was described by the Belgian entomologist Edmond de Sélys Longchamps in 1853[1]. There are 15 described species in Mnais.[2][3][4][5]

Mnais pruinosa

Distribution

Mnias damselflies are found primarily in eastern Asia[2][6].

Biology and Behaviour

Adult male Mnais occur in two genetically determined wing morphs, orange-winged and clear-winged, controlled by a single locus. Orange-winged males tend to be territorial and defend oviposition sites, while clear-winged males are typically non-territorial and perch nearby to intercept females [7][8].

Species

These 15 species belong to the genus Mnais:
