Its only species, Paranagia rufostrigata, was first described by George Thomas Bethune-Baker in 1906.[1][2] It is found on New Guinea and on the southern Maluku Islands, Sulawesi and Borneo. The habitat consists of forests and areas with secondary vegetation.
Adults have a very variable forewing pattern. The hindwings are white with a broad black border.[3]
