Celaenorrhinini
The Celaenorrhinini are a tribe of spread-winged skippers in the skipper butterfly subfamily Pyrginae. When the Eudaminae were still included in the Pyrginae as a tribe, their delimitation versus the Celaenorrhinini was disputed, and there were even suggestions that the latter might belong in the former. But in reality, these two lineages of moderately advanced skippers are quite distinct. Some genera of the tribe Celaenorrhinini were also placed in the fairly closely related (but nonetheless distinct) tribe Tagiadini on occasion; '' Capila'' however has turned out to be properly placed there.Brower (2009) These skippers are mainly found in tropical Africa. A few are found in Asia, and some species presently placed in the (paraphyletic) type genus ''Celaenorrhinus'' are found in the Neotropics. The closest living relatives of the Celaenorrhinini are – other than the Tagiadini – the firetips, which were formerly treated as a subfamily but are nowadays considered the Py ...
