This tree diagram shows the relationships between several groups of organisms.

The root of the current tree connects the organisms featured in this tree to their containing group and the rest of the Tree of Life. The basal branching point in the tree represents the ancestor of the other groups in the tree. This ancestor diversified over time into several descendent subgroups, which are represented as internal nodes and terminal taxa to the right.

Containing group: Nymphalidae

Introduction

A subfamily consisting of a single east Asian genus with an indeterminate number of species. Calinaga has been enigmatic and difficult to place in or close to any other nymphalid taxon (Ackery et al. 1999). Lately, Wahlberg et al. (2003, 2005) and Peña et al (2006) have shown based on DNA sequences that it is associated with the Satyrinae and/or Charaxinae.

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.
