The Eudaminae are a
subfamily of
skipper butterflies (
family Hesperiidae). Their original
type genus Eudamus is today a
junior synonym of
Urbanus . They are largely found in the
Neotropics , with some extending into temperate North America, and one genus,
Lobocla , endemic to East Asia.

Taxonomy
The Eudaminae have been recent subject to significant taxonomic revisions based on genome analysis, including by Brower & Warren 2009,
[1] and Li et al. 2019.
[2]
Historically, the subfamily has been included as tribe Eudamini in subfamily
Pyrginae , based on perceived similarities with two of the tribes in that subfamily, the
Celaenorrhinini and
Pyrgini . As of Li et al. 2019, the Eudaminae are divided into four tribes:
Entheini ,
Phocidini ,
Eudamini
[a] and
Oileidini .
