A reappraisal of the systematic position of Libytheidae, employing both adult and immature complex morphological characters that are largely external, indicates it evolved from a Pierinae ancestor and gave rise to Nymphalinae sensu stricto. The Libytheidae combine both pierid and nymphalid characteristics and is best regarded as a separate family. The results differ somewhat from those derived by cladistics which had missed its Pierinae derivation. An evolutionary series can be traced back from Pieridae through Lycaenidae to Lymantriidae. Rhopalocera probably arose diphyletically from Noctuoidea, viz. Lymantriidae-Lipteninae (Africa) and Agaris-tidae-Euschemoninae (Queensland). The general development of Ditrysia is also traced. Stem genera (derived directly from ancestors) to various ditrysian families, identified by non-cladistic clustering by symplesiomorphy, include Psychidarbela, Pemphigostola, Ancarista, Apoprogones, Euschemon, Lamproptera, Larinopoda, and Libytheana. The resultant evolution of Rhopaloceran families obeys Cope's Rule. Inferences drawn from plate tectonics and associated non-Lepidopteran fossils indi-cate that strategic origin times were the mid-Oxfordian (Agaristidae), Albian (Eus-chemoninae), and Cenomanian (Lycaenidae).
