Introduction

A neotropical tribe of brightly-colored butterflies.

nomenclature

J. Pelham (pers. comm.) points out that the correct name for this tribe is Callicorini Orfila, 1952, and not Catagrammini Butler [1871], Catagrammini Guenée, 1872, or Catagrammini Burmeister, 1878. This due to (1) synonymy of the the type genera (Callicore Hübner, [1819] is senior to Catagramma Boisduval, 1836), and (2) the prevailing usage of Callicorini prior to 1961.

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.
