Buzyges is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Recognised species in the genus Buzyges include:
Skippers are a group of butterflies placed in the family Hesperiidae within the order Lepidoptera. They were previously placed in a separate superfamily, Hesperioidea; however, the most recent taxonomy places the family in the superfamily Papilionoidea, the butterflies. They are named for their quick, darting flight habits. Most have their antenna tips modified into narrow, hook-like projections. Moreover, skippers mostly have an absence of wing-coupling structure available in most moths. More than 3500 species of skippers are recognized, and they occur worldwide, but with the greatest diversity in the Neotropical regions of Central and South America.
Celaenorrhinus is a genus of skipper butterflies which are commonly termed sprites. An alternate name is flats, for their habit of holding their wings flat when resting, but this is also used for related genera. They are the type genus of tribe Celaenorrhinini.
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.
Artines is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Atrytonopsis is a genus of butterflies in the skipper family, Hesperiidae. They are native to Mexico and the southwestern United States.
Dalla 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.
Iliana is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae. It was first described in 1937 by Ernest Layton Bell, with Iliana romulus as the type species. Species of the genus have a neotropical distribution.
Narcosius is a genus of butterflies in the family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae).
Parelbella is a Neotropical genus of firetips in the family Hesperiidae.
Piruna is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Punta punta is a species of skipper butterfly in the family Hesperiidae. It is the only species in the monotypic genus Punta.
Sodalia is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Wahydra is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae. As of 2018 it consists of 15 species, including:
Moncina is a subtribe of butterflies in the skipper subfamily Hesperiinae.
Nicephellus is a monotypic genus of Neotropical butterflies in the family Hesperiidae, in which it is placed in tribe Phocidini.
Chioides zilpa, the zilpa longtail, is a species of dicot skipper in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. It is found in Central America, North America, and South America.
Notamblyscirtes is a genus of grass skippers in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. There is one described species in Notamblyscirtes, N. simius.
