Drephalys is a Neotropical butterfly genus in the family Hesperiidae, [1] in which it is placed in tribe Entheini. [2]
The genus was established in 1893 by Edward Yerbury Watson, who assigned Eudamus helixus (now Drephalys helixus ) as type species of the genus. [2]
According to Li et al. 2019, the genus contains the following species across two subgenera: [2]

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 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.
Epargyreus is the genus of flasher butterflies, in the subfamily Eudaminae of skipper butterflies. The species are found in the Nearctic and Neotropical realms.
Urbanus is a genus of skipper butterflies erected by Jacob Hübner in 1807, placed to subtribe Eudamina. Species of the genus are found from the southern United States to South America.
Aurina is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae, in which it is placed in tribe Phocidini.
Bungalotis is a genus of Neotropical butterflies in the family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae), in which they are placed to genus Phocidini.
Cecropterus is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae, within which it is placed in subtribe Eudamina. It has three subgenera: Cecropterus, Thorybes and Murgaria.
Chioides is a mainly Neotropical genus of skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae)
Codatractus is a Neotropical and Nearctic genus in the family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae).
Cogia is a genus of Neotropical butterflies in the family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae).
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.
Ectomis is a genus of Neotropical and Nearctic butterflies in the family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae).
Heliopetes is a Neotropical genus of spread-winged skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae.
Phocides is a genus of butterflies in the skipper family, Hesperiidae, in which it is placed in tribe Phocidini, of which it is the namesake genus.
Porphyrogenes is a Neotropical genus of spread-winged skippers in the family Hesperiidae, in which they are placed to tribe Phocidini.
Sarmientoia is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae, in which they are placed to tribe Phocidini.
Telemiades is a genus of Neotropical butterflies in the family Hesperiidae.
Aguna is a genus of Neotropical skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae).
Euriphellus is a genus of Neotropical butterflies in the family Hesperiidae, in which it is placed in the tribe Phocidini. The genus was separated from Dyscophellus by George Traut Austin in 2008, and originally contained a single species, Euriphellus euribates. Since then, several other species have been transferred to the genus.
