Abstract/Summary:
The subfamily Coeliadinae of the family Hesperiidae is reviewed. Genera cladogram is reconstructed from the morphological data. A single most parsimonious cladogram is obtained. The result matches intuitive treatments by previous researchers. Their distribution pattern is examined genus by genus to see if the pattern seen in the genus Choaspes is applicable to other Coeliadine genera. With minor exceptions, the pattern is applicable to other genera.
