Trogonoptera is a genus of birdwing butterflies from the rainforests of the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Natuna, Sumatra, Palawan, and various small islands west of Sumatra. Their large size and stunning colors makes them highly prized by collectors. There are at least three theories as to why these butterflies have such distinctive markings on their wings: (1) the alternate green/black spear shapes mimic sharp thorns; (2) the green spear shapes mimic the camouflage pattern of a fern leaf when the butterfly is resting; (3) when flying, the black and green markings mimic those of green broadbill bird feathers in flight. The three green broadbill species in Borneo are found in the same habitats as Rajah Brooke's birdwing, which occurs from the forested lowlands up to 2.000 m on Mount Kinabalu. A number of observers have noted that all Borneo’s birdwing butterflies are so large that they are easily mistaken for birds in flight. A bird hunting for an insect to eat would be unlikely to attack a bird. If the butterfly wing pattern mimics the broadbill’s feathers then it would be a case of a Mullerian mimicry ring because both species have wings covered with thorn like patterns. In addition the broadbills are protected because of their large beaks and the butterfly because it is poisonous.[1] The blue colors evolved in Trogonoptera brookiana form hecata and Trogonoptera trojana may be explained by the presence of fairy-bluebirds in their habitat.

Trogonoptera es un género de mariposas de la familia Papilionidae.[2]
Especie tipo por designación original es Ornithoptera brookiana Wallace, 1855.[1]
Existen 2 especies reconocidas en el género.
El género Trogonoptera pertenece a la tribu Troidini de la subfamilia Papilioninae.[3] Según un análisis filogenético reciente basado en dos genes mitocondriales y uno nuclear, Trogonoptera estaría más cercanamente relacionado con los géneros Ornithoptera, Troides, Byasa y Losaria.[4]

Trogonoptera is een geslacht van vlinders in de familie pages (Papilionidae).
Trogonoptera er en slekt av sommerfugler i gruppen svalestjerter.
Disse svalestjertene er blant de største av alle dagsommerfugler, bare noen av Ornithoptera-artene blir større. Forvingene er lange og smale. Grunnfargen er silkeaktig svart, forvingen har en rad av metallisk grønne, trekantede flekker som har grodd sammen til et sagblad-lignende bånd. Raja Brookes fuglevinge (Trogonoptera brookiana) kjennes lett på at den har en skarpt rød krage og rødt hode.
Slekten Trogonoptera hører til fuglevingene, en gruppe sommerfugler hvor framvingene er store og trekantet. Flukten ligner fugler og herav kommer navnet.
Larvene utvikler seg på planter i holurtfamilien (Aristolochiaceae). Disse er gjerne giftige, og larven utnytter plantens giftstoffer til å beskytte seg selv. Disse sommerfuglene lever i tropisk skog.
Slekten er utbredt i fastlandsdelen av Malaysia, på Sumatra og Borneo og på Filippinene.
Slektskapsforholdene mellom fuglevingenes delgrupper og slekter er avklart i ulik grad. Derfor kan endringer skje.
