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'' * '' Dai ...

Celaenorrhini
The Celaenorrhinini are a tribe of spread-winged skippers in the skipper butterfly Butterflies are insects in the macrolepidopteran clade Rhopalocera from the order Lepidoptera, which also includes moths. Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprises ... 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 (paraphyle ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Chaetocneme
''Chaetocneme'' is genus of skipper butterflies (family Hesperiidae). It belongs to the tribe Tagiadini of subfamily Pyrginae. The genus was established in 1860 with ''"Chaetocneme corvus"'' – then newly described as it was believed – as the type species. However, the same species was already described by Pieter Cramer in 1775 under the name ''"Papilio helirius"''. Thus, the type species is nowadays called ''Chaetocneme helirius''.

Abantis
''Abantis'' is an Afrotropical genus of skipper butterflies. They are also known as the paradise skippers. Their imagos are generally attractive with bold or colourful wing and/or body markings. They occur in either forest or savanna, and several species are very localized or thinly distributed. The territorial males are encountered more often than the females. Males engage territorial intruders, and are prone to very rapid and high flight, while females display more relaxed flight habits, closer to the ground. Plants of several families serve as food plants, and only one egg is oviposited per plant. The larva is pale and spotted to varying degrees, and pupates inside a leaf shelter drawn together by silk threads. Species *''Abantis adelica'' (Karsch, 1892) *''Abantis amneris'' (Rebel & Rogenhofer, 1894) *''Abantis arctomarginata'' Lathy, 1901 *''Abantis bamptoni'' Collins & Larsen, 1994 *''Abantis bicolor'' (Trimen, 1864) *''Abantis bismarcki'' Karsch, 1892 *''Abantis canopus' ...
