Achlyodidini
Achlyodidini is a tribe of skipper butterflies in the subfamily Pyrginae, characterized by unusually-shaped wings with squarely truncated forewing tips and often vivid coloration. The tribe comprises approximately 16 genera and is restricted to the Americas, primarily in tropical regions. Formerly included within a broad concept of Pyrgini, Achlyodidini is now recognized as a distinct tribe based on phylogenetic studies, though it remains the closest relative to Pyrgini sensu stricto. The tribe includes notable genera such as Eantis (sicklewings) and Achlyodes.
