Haeterini

Tribe of butterflies

The Haeterini are one of the smaller tribes of the Satyrinae in the Nymphalidae (brush-footed butterfly) family. The tribe occurs exclusively in tropical rain forests in the Neotropical realm.

Quick Facts Scientific classification, Genera ...

It contains 29 described species and 39 subspecies[lower-alpha 1] classified in the following five genera:[lower-alpha 2]

There are differences in the shape of the forewings between males and females, with males having wing shapes that are more efficient in gliding flight performance.[1]

Notes

  1. But these estimates remain contentious, and at least 5 more species can be recognized based on the multispecies coalescent model as suggested by Matos-Maraví et al. (2019)
  2. According to TOLweb, Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms (Savela), Wikispecies, and nymphalidae.net Archived 8 December 2010 at the Wayback Machine which all seem to be based on Lamas, G. (2004).
  3. Markku Savela's Pierella page says this is invalid and the correct citation is Herrich-Schäffer, 1865, however no source is given for this conclusion and the LepIndex[2] (among other sources) consider Westwood, [1851] to be correct.
