Dirini Eritini Elymniini Haeterini Melanitini Ragadiini Satyrini and see text Satyridae The Satyrinae, the satyrines or satyrids, commonly known as the browns, are a subfamily of the Nymphalidae (brush-footed butterflies).

[2] They are generally weak fliers and often shun bright sunlight, preferring moist and semishaded habitats.

The caterpillars feed chiefly on monocotyledonous plants such as palms, grasses, and bamboos.

Much of the early pioneering work of L. D. Miller[3] has helped significantly by creating some sort of order.

Other than this genus, according to the latest studies on the classification of Nymphalidae,[4] all satyrines have been assigned to one of the tribes, at least preliminarily.
