The Astictopterini are a tribe in the Hesperiinae subfamily of skipper butterflies. As most Hesperiinae have not yet been assigned to tribes, more genera may be placed here eventually.
Recognised genera in the tribe Astictopterini include:
The Hesperiini or branded grass skippers are a tribe in the Hesperiinae subfamily of skipper butterflies. They are known as branded grass skippers because all the males in this tribe feature a black diagonal brand of scales on their forewings that exude pheromones to attract females.
The Eudaminae are a subfamily of skipper butterflies. Their original type genus Eudamus is today a junior synonym of Urbanus. They are largely found in the Neotropics, with some extending into temperate North America, and one genus, Lobocla, endemic to East Asia.
The Pyrgini are a tribe in the skipper butterfly subfamily Pyrginae. Formerly, when only four tribes of Pyrginae were recognized, the Pyrgini contained the largest number of genera among these. But this overly wide delimitation has since turned out to be paraphyletic.
The giant skippers (Megathymini) are a tribe of butterflies in the family Hesperiidae.
Anisochoria is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Apallaga is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Cycloglypha is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Dyscophellus is a genus of largely Neotropical butterflies in the family Hesperiidae. The genus has been the subject of recent revisions based on genome analysis. It is currently placed in tribe Phocidini within the subfamily Eudaminae.
Gretna is a genus of skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae. It is the only genus in the monotypic tribe Gretnini.
Moeris is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Nyctus is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Paracarystus is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Paratrytone is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Phlebodes is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae, subfamily Hesperiinae.
Telegonus is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae, in which it is placed in subtribe Eudamina. It has been the subject of recent revision, and now includes several species formerly in Astraptes, Autochton and Urbanus.
Tigasis is a Neotropical genus of grass skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Vettius is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Vidius is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
The Carcharodini are a tribe in the skipper butterfly subfamily Pyrginae. They are a very diverse but quite plesiomorphic and inconspicuous group distributed throughout the tropics.
Moncina is a subtribe of butterflies in the skipper subfamily Hesperiinae.
