Eracon is a genus of skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae.
Recognised species in the genus Eracon include: [1]
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.
Anisochoria is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Arteurotia is a genus of skipper butterflies genus 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.
Lamponia is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Lerodea is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Metiscus is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae. Species of the genus are found in Central America.
Moeris is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
