Forsterinaria is a genus of satyrid butterflies found in the Neotropical realm.
Listed alphabetically: [1]
The Satyrini is one of the tribes of the subfamily Satyrinae. It includes about 2200 species and is therefore the largest tribe in the subfamily which comprises 2500 species.
The butterfly subtribe Euptychiina is a diverse group within the tribe Satyrini, occurring throughout Central and South America, in addition to a few species known from North America. Euptychiina is a predominantly lowland group, with the exception of one Asian taxon Palaeonympha opalinaButler, 1871 and the Andean genus ForsterinariaGray, 1973. The taxon was erected by Lee Denmar Miller.
Eunica is a genus of nymphalid butterflies found in the Neotropical realm.
Memphis, described by Jacob Hübner in 1819, is a Neotropical nymphalid butterfly genus in the subfamily Charaxinae.
Dismorphia is a genus of butterflies in the subfamily Dismorphiinae.
Adelpha is a genus of brush-footed butterflies found from the southern United States and Mexico to South America. They are commonly known as sisters, due to the white markings on their wings, which resemble a nun's habit. This genus is sometimes included with the admiral butterflies (Limenitis).
Splendeuptychia is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae.
Leptophobia is a Neotropical genus of butterflies in the family Pieridae.
Pronophilina is a Neotropical subtribe of butterflies of the subfamily Satyrinae. They are a species-rich group with highest diversity in the tropical and subtropical mountains, especially the Andes. Before 1970, they were poorly studied, but recent interest has resulted in high rates of species description from previously unexplored mountain ranges. However, there is still a lack of knowledge on their biology and ecology. Their relationship to other groups of Satyrine butterflies and their complex patterns of speciation within and among mountain ranges have led to several biogeographic discussions.
Hermeuptychia is a genus of satyrid butterflies found in the Neotropical realm. They are a widespread, cryptic genus, with Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I species delineation methods implying much greater species diversity than currently recognised.
Euptychia is a genus of satyrid butterflies found in the Neotropical realm. The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1818.
Taygetis is a genus of satyrid butterflies found in the Neotropical realm.
Magneuptychia is a genus of satyrid butterflies found in the Neotropical realm.
Paryphthimoides is a genus of satyrid butterflies found in the Neotropical realm.
Pharneuptychia is a genus of satyrid butterflies found in the Neotropical realm.
Yphthimoides is a genus of satyrid butterflies found in the Neotropical realm.
Altopedialiodes is a genus of satyrid butterflies.
Idioneurula is a genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae. The species of this genus are found in the Neotropics.
Pampasatyrus is a Neotropical genus of butterflies in the family Nymphalidae.
