7-413: Numerous, see text Nymphalini is a tribe of nymphalid brush-footed butterflies . Common names include admirals , anglewings , commas , and tortoiseshells , but none of these is specific to one particular genus . The name anglewing butterflies is an English translation of a Latin term papiliones angulati , [ Denis & Schiffermüller ], ([1775, 1776]). Based on an overall similarity in
14-612: A clade : Nymphalis sensu lato , and to specifically exclude Papilio atalanta [→ Vanessa ], P. cardui [→ Cynthia ], P. levana , and P. prorsa [→ Araschnia ]. This monophyletic group of nymphaline butterflies inhabiting the Northern Hemisphere are characterized by a jagged outline of their wings and the ability to survive the winter months as adults in an obligatory hibernal diapause , hiding in various shelters (e.g., crevices, hollows, cavities, even unheated buildings). The signature mark of all butterflies
21-424: Is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Tribe (biology) In biology , a tribe is a taxonomic rank above genus , but below family and subfamily . It is sometimes subdivided into subtribes . By convention, all taxa ranked above species are capitalized, including both tribe and subtribe. In zoology , the standard ending for the name of a zoological tribe is "-ini". Examples include
28-544: Is divided into subtribes, including the subtribe Massoniinae. The standard ending for the name of a botanical subtribe is "-inae". In bacteriology , the form of tribe names is as in botany, e.g., Pseudomonadeae, based on the genus name Pseudomonas . An unfamiliar taxonomic rank cannot necessarily be identified as a tribe merely by the presence of one of the standard suffixes: Accordingly, working within animals alone, subfamily -inae , tribe -ini, and subtribe -ina are unique suffixes to their specific taxonomic ranks. At
35-442: Is the cryptic colour and maculation (spots) of the ventral (under) side of their wings, serving to conceal the hibernating butterfly against the substrate on which it rests. Listed alphabetically: The monotypic genus Tigridia is sometimes placed here as a very basal offshoot close to Colobura , sometimes in the related tribe Coeini . Prehistoric genera only known from fossils are: This Nymphalinae article
42-629: The angulate wing shape, a collective name: Papiliones angulati was employed for Papilio atalanta , P. antiopa , P. cardui , P. c-album , P. io , P. polychloros , P. urticae , P. xanthomelas , P. vaualbum , P. levana and P. prorsa . The term papiliones angulati is applied as a collective taxon name, which therefore needs no type species as specified in Article 42.3.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature . Papiliones angulati has thus been re-defined to apply only to
49-450: The tribes Caprini (goat-antelopes), Hominini (hominins), Bombini (bumblebees), and Thunnini (tunas). The tribe Hominini is divided into subtribes by some scientists; subtribe Hominina then comprises "humans". The standard ending for the name of a zoological subtribe is "-ina". In botany , the standard ending for the name of a botanical tribe is "-eae". Examples include the tribes Acalypheae and Hyacintheae . The tribe Hyacintheae
