Faunis is a genus of Asian butterflies in the family Nymphalidae. They are among the butterflies commonly known as "fauns" or "duffers".
Larvae are found on Musa, Smilax, and Pandanus host plants.
Many forms, whether species or subspecies, are restricted to islands and are probably vulnerable (Koh et al., 2004).
