Euptychiina is one of the largest subtribes of the butterfly subfamily Satyrinae. The only two comprehensive studies that included Euptychiina are the works of Miller (1968)[citation needed] and Forster (1964)[citation needed]. Although the classification of brush-footed butterflies (Nymphalidae) is currently under heavy revision, the Euptychiina is still little-studied by taxonomists.
