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.
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]
- Cithaerias Hübner, [1819]
- Dulcedo d'Almeida, 1951
- Haetera Fabricius, 1807
- Pierella Westwood, [1851][lower-alpha 3]
- Pseudohaetera Brown, 1942
Notes
- ↑ 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)
- ↑ According to TOLweb, Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms (Savela), Wikispecies, and nymphalidae.net which all seem to be based on Lamas, G. (2004).
- ↑ 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.
