Tagiadini
The Tagiadini are a tribe in the skipper butterfly subfamily Pyrginae. Many of its genera were of uncertain relationships for long, and delimitation of the Tagiadini versus the Celaenorrhini was quite disputed at times. The species of this tribe are found in mostly tropical regions of Africa, Asia and Australia.Brower (2007) Genera Altogether, the tribe contains 27 genera. Some of these seem to form a close-knit group around the tribe's type genus ''Tagiades''. These genera are often collectively called "Tagiades group" and may form a clade: "Tagiades group" * '' Abantis'' – paradise skippers * '' Caprona'' – ragged skippers * '' Ctenoptilum'' * '' Leucochitonea'' * '' Netrobalane'' – buff-tipped skipper * '' Odontoptilum'' * ''Semperium'' * ''Tagiades'' – water flats, snow flats Other genera * '' Abraximorpha'' * ''Calleagris'' – scarce flats * '' Capila'' (formerly often in Celaenorrhini) * '' Chaetocneme'' * ''Chamunda'' * '' Coladenia'' * '' Daimi ...

Skipper (butterfly)
Skippers are a family of the Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) named the Hesperiidae. Being diurnal, they are generally called butterflies. They were previously placed in a separate superfamily, Hesperioidea; however, the most recent taxonomy places the family in the superfamily Papilionoidea, the butterflies. They are named for their quick, darting flight habits. Most have their antenna tips modified into narrow, hook-like projections. Moreover, skippers mostly have an absence of wing-coupling structure available in most moths. More than 3500 species of skippers are recognized, and they occur worldwide, but with the greatest diversity in the Neotropical regions of Central and South America.Ackery et al. (1999) Description and systematics Traditionally, the Hesperiidae were placed in a monotypic superfamily Hesperioidea, because they are morphologically distinct from other Rhopalocera (butterflies), which mostly belong to the typical butterfly superfamily Papilionoidea. The ...
