 Comments
       
  Comment: Pelham (2008:396) comments as follows: "The family-group name Hipparchiinae Swainson, 1820, Zool. Illustr. (1)1(1): pl. 11, unnumbered text, is senior to Satyrinae. Code Article 23.2 clearly states that if the application of the Principle of Priority disturbs stability or universality and causes confusion that existing usage is to be maintained. The long and consistent use of Satyridae overwhelms priority, and the traditional listing is maintained"
