Satyrinae
The Satyrinae, the satyrines or satyrids, commonly known as the browns, are a subfamily of the Nymphalidae (brush-footed butterflies). They were formerly considered a distinct family, Satyridae. This group contains nearly half of the known diversity of brush-footed butterflies. The true number of the Satyrinae species is estimated to exceed 2400.〔The Lepidoptera Taxome Project (TLTP) (2007): (Taxonomy of butterflies: the scale of the problem ). Retrieved 2007-SEP-07.)〕
== Overview ==
They are generally weak fliers and often shun bright sunlight, preferring moist and semishaded habitats. The caterpillars feed chiefly on monocotyledonous plants such as palms, grasses, and bamboos. The Morphinae are sometimes united with this group.
The taxonomy and systematics of the subfamily are under heavy revision. Much of the early pioneering work of L. D. Miller〔Miller, L.D. (1968): The higher classification, phylogeny and zoogeography of the Satyridae (Lepidoptera). ''Mem. Am. Entomol. Soc.'' 24: () + iv + 1-174.)〕 has helped significantly by creating some sort of order. ''Dyndirus'' (Capronnier, 1874) is a satyrid ''incertae sedis''. Other than this genus, according to the latest studies on the classification of Nymphalidae,〔The Lepidoptera Taxome Project (TLTP) (2007): (Taxonomy of butterflies: the scale of the problem ). Retrieved 2007-SEP-07.〕 all satyrines have been assigned to one of the tribes, at least preliminarily.〔Savela, Markku (2007): (Markku Savela's Lepidoptera and some other life forms: Satyrinae ). Version of 2007-MAY-12. Retrieved 2007-MAY-31.)〕 For detailed lists, see the tribe pages.
