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]

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.
