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.〔Brower (2009)〕 These skippers are mainly found in tropical Africa. A few are found in Asia, and some species presently placed in the (paraphyletic) type genus ''Celaenorrhinus'' are found in the Neotropics. The closest living relatives of the Celaenorrhini are – other than the Tagiadini – the firetips, which were formerly treated as a subfamily but are nowadays considered the Pyrginae tribe Pyrrhopygini.〔 ==Genera== The following genera – listed in the presumed phylogenetic sequence – are placed in the Celaenorrhini:〔 * ''Alenia'' * ''Celaenorrhinus'' – sprites, "flats" (paraphyletic) * ''Katreus'' – Giant Scarce Sprite * ''Eretis'' – "elves" * ''Sarangesa'' – "elfins" (formerly often in Tagiadini) * ''Pseudocoladenia'' (formerly often in Tagiadini) * ''Loxolexis'' – scarce sprites 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Celaenorrhini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
