Name

Catapaecilmatini Eliot, 1923: 432. 381

Type genus: Catapaecilma Butler, 1879

Stem: Catapaecilmat-

Note: Latinized names ending in "-ma" (often derived from Greek) are typically neuter and have a stem ending in -mat- (e.g., stigma from its genitive singular stigmatos becomes stigmat-, systema becomes systemat-), hence here with modified stem (Catapaecilmat-) + Tribal suffix (-ini). The Greek basis can be Kata- (κατά) [e.g. "throughout"], plus Poikilma (ποίκιλμα) e.g. "variegation"] (from poikilos (ποικίλος), [Latinized forms Poecil-/Paecil- or Poecilo-/Paecilo- depending on Greek diphthong oi (οι) and ligature character (œ)].

Synonyms

Catapaecilmini (incorrect termination) [e.g. Chou, 1994 Monografia Rhopalocerorum Sinensium].
