Introduction

A mainly holarctic group of hairstreaks, with some representatives in subtropical Asia. There are a number of names associated with taxa from Taiwan and China which are not listed here because their status cannot be ascertained.

Nomenclature

There are a vast number of generic names associated with Satyrium, in part because of Tutt's publication of numerous homonyms which have spawned replacement names that are now for the most part viewed as synonyms. The circumscription adopted here is that of Robbins (2004). Tuzov et al. (2000) recognize Neolycaena, Nordmannia, Superflua and Armenia as valid genera for temperate Asian forms.

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.
