Euptychiina is one of the largest subtribes of the butterfly subfamily Satyrinae (family Nymphalidae). The only two comprehensive studies that include Euptychiina are the works of L. D. Miller and W. Forster [Forster (1964), Miller (1968)] , though the latter is in large parts considered obsolete nowadays.

Although the classification of brush-footed butterflies (Nymphalidae) is currently under heavy revision, the Euptychiina is still little-studied by taxonomists. In fact, the group is so difficult that D'Abrera placed almost all included species in a "wastebin genus" "Euptychia" in his popular guide to Neotropical butterfies [D'Abrera (1988)] .
