The Pyrgini are a tribe in the skipper butterfly subfamily Pyrginae. Formerly, when only four tribes of Pyrginae were recognized, the Pyrgini contained the largest number of genera among these. But this overly wide delimitation has since turned out to be paraphyletic.

Neomyrina is a butterfly genus in the family Lycaenidae described by William Lucas Distant in 1884. It is monotypic, containing only the species Neomyrina nivea. Neomyrina nivea was described by Frederick DuCane Godman and Osbert Salvin in 1878. It is found in the Indomalayan realm.
Chlosyne is a genus of butterflies from North and South America in the family Nymphalidae.
Doleschallia is a genus of butterflies of the subfamily Nymphalinae in the family Nymphalidae. With their wings closed Doleschallia resemble dead leaves. Another Indo-Australian genus Kallima, and the African genera Kamilla, Mallika and Kallimoides are collectively known as dead leaf butterflies. They have a pronounced wing apex, and the hindwing tornus is extended and forms a short tail. This shape, together with the dead-leaf colouration, complete with a "midrib", and markings which resemble patches of mould and leaf galls gives the butterfly a remarkable resemblance to an attached or fallen dead leaf.
