5-582: The Carcharodini are a tribe in the skipper butterfly subfamily Pyrginae . They are a very diverse but quite plesiomorphic and inconspicuous group distributed throughout the tropics . Formerly, when only four tribes of Pyrginae were recognized, they were included in the Pyrgini , which at that time contained a massive number of genera . But the Pyrginae have since been reorganized to make them and their tribes monophyletic , leading most modern authors to treat
10-558: The Carcharodini as distinct tribe. However, the old circumscription of the Pyrgini was by and large just as correct from a phylogenetic perspective. The tribe of the Pyrgini sensu lato most closely related to the Pyrgini sensu stricto are the strikingly different Achlyodidini . As many consider it desirable to treat this lineage as a distinct tribe, the Carcharodini naturally need to be considered distinct too. These genera belong to
15-447: The name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae . The tribe Hyacintheae is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology , the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the genus name Pseudomonas . An unfamiliar taxonomic rank cannot necessarily be identified as
20-410: The standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include the tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany , the standard ending for
25-406: The tribe Carcharodini: This Pyrginae -related article is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Tribe (biology) In biology , a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus , but below family and subfamily . It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes . By convention, all taxa ranked above species are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology ,
