Celaenorrhinus
Encyclopedia
Celaenorrhinus is a genus
of skipper butterflies which are commonly termed sprites. An alternate name is "flats", for their habit of holding their wings flat when resting, but this is also used for related genera. They belong to the spread-winged skipper subfamily (Pyrginae), and therein are the type genus of tribe
Celaenorrhini
.
Celaenorrhinus species
are found in most tropical
regions. However, rather than a monophyletic genus the group appears to be a paraphyletic asssemblage, and will probably be split up in the future.
The following is a description of the genus from an old work and may not account for more recent taxonomic changes.

When the Eudaminae were still included in the Pyrginae as a tribe, their delimitation versus the Celaenorrhini was disputed, and there were even suggestions that the latter might belong in the former. But in reality, these...
