The Erynnini are a tribe in the skipper butterfly subfamily Pyrginae.
They are a moderately diverse but quite plesiomorphic and inconspicuous group, and except for the Holarctic species of the type genus Erynnis occur only in the Neotropics.
[1] Formerly, when only four tribes of Pyrginae were recognized, they were included in the Pyrgini, which at that time contained a massive number of genera.
However, the old circumscription of the Pyrgini was by and large just as correct from a phylogenetic perspective.
[1] The genera are listed here in the presumed phylogenetic sequence:[1][2]
