Introduction

Genera in Eudaminae were formerly viewed to be part of Pyrginae. However, Warren et al. (in prep.) have demonstrated that Pyrginae s. l. is paraphyletic with respect to other skippers unless this subfamily is separated. Most of the eudamine genera are neotropical, with some extending into North America. However, Lobocla is endemic to east Asia.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
