The Limenitidinae are a subfamily of butterflies that includes the admirals and relatives. The common names of many species and genera reference military ranks or – namely the Adoliadini – titles of nobility, in reference to these butterflies' large size, bold patterns, and dashing flight. In particular, the light stripe running lengthwise across the wings of many Limenitidini has reminded earlier authors of officers' shoulder marks and epaulets.
Euthalia is a genus of brush-footed butterflies. They are commonly called barons or dukes.
Athyma is a genus of brush-footed butterflies. They are commonly known as the "true" or "typical" sergeants, to distinguish them from the false sergeants of the genus Pseudathyma, a fairly close relative from the Adoliadini tribe. The genus ranges from Tibet to the Solomon Islands, but does not occur in New Guinea or Australia.
Neptis is a large genus of butterflies of Old World tropics subtropics. They are commonly called sailer butterflies or sailers, or more precisely typical sailers to distinguish them from the related blue sailer (Pseudoneptis).
Tanaecia is a genus of butterflies of the family Nymphalidae.
Lassipa is a genus of Asian butterflies distributed from India to Sulawesi. They resemble Neptis but are smaller and marked yellow not white.
Parasarpa is a genus of butterflies. Parasarpa hollandi ranges from Lombok to Timor. Parasarpa albidior and Parasarpa houlberti are known only from Yunnan. The three other species occur in northern India and southern China.
