A summary of the current knowledge on the satyrine butterflies in South America is given, and 27 American satyrine genera, most of them Fuego-Patagonian or high Andean, are transferred to other subtribes: 19 to the Hypocystina, and 8 to the Erebiina. Two genera formerly believed to belong to the Pronophilina remain in uncertain positions.
Se transfieren a otras tribus veintisiete géneros de satirinos americanos, la mayoría de ellos fuego-patagónicos o altiandinos: diecinueve pasan a Hypocystina, y ocho a Erebiina. Dos géneros, anteriormente considerados como pertenecientes a Pronophilina permanecen por el momenta en posición incierta.
