Iridana is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. The species of this genus are endemic to the Afrotropical realm.

The only known specimen of I. agneshorvathae was collected at light in Bia National Park in western Ghana from a dry semi-deciduous forest and is most probably a canopy species. It might or might not be endemic to the Ghana subregion of West Africa.[1]
