Cecropians and Allies
Coeini is a tribe of brush-footed butterflies (family Nymphalidae) restricted to the Neotropical realm. The tribe comprises six recognized genera: Baeotus, Colobura, Historis, Pycina, Smyrna, and Tigridia. Members are commonly referred to as "Cecropians and Allies" in reference to their association with Cecropia trees. The group is characterized by reduced forelegs typical of the Nymphalidae family.
