Introduction

Although bearing a superficial resemblance to some of the more derived ithomiines, such as Ithomia amarilla and Oleria zelica, Aeria spp. are "just little Tithoreas," according to Keith Brown (pers. comm.), as is born out by recent phylogenetic analyses.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
