Balintus is a gossamer-winged butterfly genus of the tribe Eumaeini in the subfamily Theclinae. Its only known species, Balintus tityrus, is found in the Neotropical realm, where it is endemic to Colombia.[1]
It is generally agreed that this butterfly represents a distinct lineage and is worthy of recognition at least as subgenus. However, there is some dispute about whether the name was validly established, or is a nomen nudum. The matter has been submitted to the ICZN for discussion.
