Taxonomy
The Eudaminae have been recent subject to significant taxonomic revisions based on genome analysis, including by Brower & Warren 2009,
and Li et al. 2019.
Historically, the subfamily has been included as tribe Eudamini in subfamily
Pyrginae, based on perceived similarities with two of the tribes in that subfamily, the
Celaenorrhinini and
Pyrgini
The Pyrgini are a tribe (biology), tribe in the skipper butterfly subfamily Pyrginae. Formerly, when only four tribes of Pyrginae were recognized, the Pyrgini contained the largest number of genera among these. But this overly wide delimitation h ...
. As of Li et al. 2019, the Eudaminae are divided into four tribes:
Entheini,
Phocidini,
Eudamini and
Oileidini.
