Satyrus.net

This is a pictorial guide to species of Satyrinae butterflies. You will find butterfly pictures, notes on classification and taxonomy and links to relevant bibliographic references. Note that the taxonomy of the group is a mess and its classification is in constant change. Although this situation has improved greatly thanks to the Catalog of names for Neotropical butterflies by Lamas et al. (2004). The only comprehensive phylogenetic study of the group, using molecular data, of Peña et al. (2006) shows that the relationships among tribes and subtribes are in need of a major revision.
