Pseudergolinae is a small subfamily of nymphalid brush-footedbutterflies. It is considered to include only seven species in four genera distributed mainly in the Oriental region.[1]
The circumscription of Pseudergolinae has seen some changes in the recent years, when it was first suggested that the tribes Cyrestini and Pseudergolini formed a monophyletic clade with subfamily status under the name Cyrestinae,[2] but then the tribes were split again—with subfamily status—as their positions within the Nymphalidae were defined more clearly.[3] It is now considered to be the sister group to the larger nymphaline clade, which includes the Nymphalinae, Cyrestinae, Apaturinae and Biblidinae.
