12-566: A tribe Limenitidini in the Nymphalinae . But in fact, their closest living relatives seem to be the Heliconiinae . The Limenitidinae are traditionally divided into four tribes , of which the Parthenini are the most basal lineage and the others form a close-knit and more apomorphic radiation. While this basic layout is likely to be fairly correct, a few genera cannot be easily assigned to
18-595: The admirals and relatives. The common names of many species and genera reference military ranks or – namely the Adoliadini – titles of nobility (e.g., count , duke , earl , and marquis ), in reference to these butterflies' large size, bold patterns, and dashing flight. In particular, the light stripe running lengthwise across the wings of many Limenitidini has reminded earlier authors of officers ' (e.g. admiral , commander , commodore ) shoulder marks and epaulets . In flight, many of these butterflies have
24-423: The habit of flapping their wings, so the (usually) bright upperside and the cryptic underside alternate for the observer, then gliding for prolonged distances, with the motionless wings held outstretched. The common names of some Limenitidinae – " aeroplanes ", " clippers ", or " gliders " – refer to this flight pattern. The Biblidinae are sometimes merged here. The present subfamily is also sometimes included as
