Celaenorrhini

The Celaenorrhini are a tribe in the skipper butterfly subfamily Pyrginae (spread-winged skippers). When the Eudaminae were still included in the Pyrginae as a tribe, their delimitation versus the Celaenorrhini 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 Celaenorrhini genera 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.
