Mesosemiini
__NOTOC__ The Mesosemiini are one of the tribes of metalmark butterflies (family Riodinidae). They are the basalmost living tribe of the Riodininae, outside the main radiation together with the slightly more advanced Eurybiini. Genera As numerous Riodinidae genera have not yet been unequivocally assigned to a tribe, the genus list is preliminary. In each subtribe, the genera are arranged in phylogenetic sequence, from the most plesiomorphic to the most apomorphic.

Perophthalma
:''Eyemark is also a term used for the CBS network's longtime Eye Device logo.'' ''Perophthalma'' is a very small butterfly genus in the family Riodinidae. The genus comprises only two species, both found only in Central and South America South America is a continent entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere at the northern tip of the continent.

Hermathena (butterfly)
''Hermathena'' is a genus of butterflies in the family Riodinidae containing a total of three known species. A small Neotropical genus of uncommon montane butterflies. The larvae feed on bromeliad The Bromeliaceae (the bromeliads) are a family of monocot flowering plants of about 80 genera and 3700 known species, native mainly to the tropical Americas, with several species found in the American subtropics and one in tropical west Africa, ...s.

Eurybiini
The Eurybiini are a small tribe of metalmark butterflies (family Riodinidae). They are one of the basal tribes of the Riodininae, outside the main radiation but not quite as primitive as the Mesosemiini. Though numerous Riodinidae genera have not yet been unequivocally placed in a tribe and the genus list is thus preliminary, it is not very likely that many other genera will end up being assigned here.Brower (2007); see also references in Savela (2008) Genera * ''Alesa'' Doubleday, 1847 * '' Eurybia'' lliger 1807 Footnotes References * (2007): Tree of Life Web Project The Tree of Life Web Project is an Internet project providing information about the diversity and phylogeny of life on Earth.

Animal
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the Kingdom (biology), biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals Heterotroph, consume organic material, Cellular respiration#Aerobic respiration, breathe oxygen, are Motility, able to move, can Sexual reproduction, reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of Cell (biology), cells, the blastula, during Embryogenesis, embryonic development. Over 1.5 million Extant taxon, living animal species have been Species description, described—of which around 1 million are Insecta, insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have Ecology, complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology.

Apomorph
In phylogenetics, an apomorphy (or derived trait) is a novel character or character state that has evolved from its ancestral form (or plesiomorphy). A synapomorphy is an apomorphy shared by two or more taxa and is therefore hypothesized to have evolved in their most recent common ancestor. ) In cladistics, synapomorphy implies homology. Examples of apomorphy are the presence of erect gait, fur, the evolution of three middle ear bones, and mammary glands in mammals but not in other vertebrate animals such as amphibians or reptiles, which have retained their ancestral traits of a sprawling gait and lack of fur. Thus, these derived traits are also synapomorphies of mammals in general as they are not shared by other vertebrate animals. Etymology The word —coined by German entomologist Willi Hennig—is derived from the Ancient Greek words (''sún''), meaning "with, together"; (''apó''), meaning "away from"; and (''morphḗ''), meaning "shape, form".

Napaea (butterfly)
''Napaea'' is a genus in the butterfly family Riodinidae present only in the Neotropical realm. ''Napaea'' contains strong butterflies with a robust body. The margin of the forewings is not projecting so far, the apex not so very falcate (sickle shaped), the costal of the forewing is not connected with the subcostal. They have a distinctive pattern of metallic blue or white or yellow comma-shaped marks, chevrons or punctiform spots, although in some species the markings are greatly reduced. They found in primary and degraded forest. The butterflies perch with the wings outspread in bushes near the skirts of the forests, out of which they may be beaten. They are not common. Taxonomy Now includes ''Cremna''. Species *'' Napaea agroeca'' Stichel, 1910 present in Brazil *'' Napaea beltiana'' (Bates, 1867) present in French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, Colombia and Brazil *'' Napaea danforthi'' Warren & Opler, 1999 present in Mexico *'' Napaea elisae'' (Zikán, 1952) present in Brazi ...
