Elymniini
The Elymniini is one of the tribes of the subfamily Satyrinae. If the subfamily Satyrinae elevate to family status, this tribe shall be treated as subfamily Elymniinae. Elymniini was formerly a large group, but recently, it is considered to be include only one genus, ''Elymnias'', according to molecular phylogenetic analyses. Systematics and taxonomy The systematics and taxonomy of Satyrinae began to be heavily revised around the 2000s, and this revision continues to this day. Consequently, the subdivisions of this tribe have also undergone significant changes in recent years. The higher level classification of Satyrine butterfly developed by became the basis for later taxonomic studies. The work which based on adult morphology, recognised seven subfamilies in the family Satyridae: Haeterinae, Brassolinae, Biinae, Elymniinae, Eritinae, Ragadiinae and Satyrinae, and four tribes within Elymniinae: Lethini, Zetherini, Elymniini and Mycalesini.

Lethina
The Satyrini is one of the tribe (biology), tribes of the subfamily Satyrinae. It includes about 2200 species and is therefore the largest tribe in the subfamily which comprises 2500 species. Distribution Satyrini butterflies have a Cosmopolitan distribution, worldwide distribution, but the distribution pattern differs between subtribe, subtribes. Some subtribes are almost restricted to a single biogeographic region, such as the Pronophilina, which is found only in Andean cloud forests from Venezuela to Bolivia. Biology The Larval food plants of Lepidoptera, larval food plants of many species in this tribe are grasses, i.e. Poaceae. It is considered that the Satyrini diversified at about the same time as the grasses did, and that the Evolutionary radiation, radiation of the tribe is therefore closely related to the evolution of the grasses. In contrast, the tribe has a few genera which show uncommon feeding preferences. Three genera, ''Euptychia'', ''Ragadia'' and ''Acrophta ...

Satyrinae
The Satyrinae, the satyrines or satyrids, commonly known as the browns, are a subfamily of the Nymphalidae (brush-footed butterflies). They were formerly considered a distinct family, Satyridae. This group contains nearly half of the known diversity of brush-footed butterflies. The true number of the Satyrinae species is estimated to exceed 2,400. Overview They are generally weak fliers and often shun bright sunlight, preferring moist and semishaded habitats. The caterpillars feed chiefly on monocotyledonous plants such as palms, grasses, and bamboos. The Morphinae are sometimes united with this group. The taxonomy and systematics of the subfamily are under heavy revision. Much of the early pioneering work of L. D. Miller has helped significantly by creating some sort of order. '' Dyndirus'' (Capronnier, 1874) is a satyrid ''incertae sedis''. Other than this genus, according to the latest studies on the classification of Nymphalidae, all satyrines have been assigned to one of t ...

Hyantis
''Hyantis'' is a monotypic nymphalid butterfly genus. Its sole species is ''Hyantis hodeva'', which is found in New Guinea. It is uncertain which tribe this butterfly should be placed within. Distribution The species is distributed in the following islands: New Guinea, Waigeo, Misool, Yapen and D'Entrecasteaux Islands. Morphology The species has three pairs of six well-developed ocellus on the ventral side of the wings: one pair on the forewings near the apex and two pairs on the hindwings. Each eyespot is large and bordered with yellow, and the black "pupil" has plural small white dots inside. This species is similar to ''Taenaris'', but can be easily identified from that genus, which generally has only two or four ocellus with single white spot on its hindwings. This species is also unique in having a closed discoidal cell on each hindwing. This morphological character is also shared by the genus ''Morphopsis'' and is generally found in the subfamily Satyrinae. The ear ...

Mycalesis 1 By Kadavoor-2
''Mycalesis'', the bushbrowns, are a genus of brush-footed butterflies. They are common in the warm regions from Central Asia to Australia, and have a high diversity in South Asia and the Wallacea. They are notably polymorphic, with wet- and dry-season forms differing in many species, especially as regards size and number of underwing eyespots. ''Mycalesis'' superficially resemble the species ''Orsotriaena medus'', but can readily be identified by the number of spots. Species Listed alphabetically: * ''Mycalesis adamsoni'' Watson, 1897 – Watson's bushbrown * ''Mycalesis adolphei'' (Guérin-Ménéville, 1843) – redeye bushbrown * ''Mycalesis aethiops'' Butler, 1868 * ''Mycalesis amoena'' Druce, 1873 * ''Mycalesis anaxioides'' Marshall & de Nicéville, 1883 * ''Mycalesis annamitica'' Fruhstorfer, 1906 – Annam bushbrown, tawny bush-brown * ''Mycalesis anapita'' Moore, 858/small> * ''Mycalesis anaxias'' Hewitson, 1862 – white-bar bushbrown * ''Mycalesis arabella'' Fruhst ...
