Hermeuptychia is a genus of satyrid butterflies found in the Neotropical realm. They are a widespread, cryptic genus, with Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I species delineation methods implying much greater species diversity than currently recognised. ^[1]

Species

The genus contains the following species, listed alphabetically: ^[2]

• Hermeuptychia atalanta (Butler, 1867)
• Hermeuptychia cucullina (Weymer, 1911)
• Hermeuptychia fallax (C. & R. Felder, 1862)
• Hermeuptychia gisella (Hayward, 1957)
• Hermeuptychia harmonia (Butler, 1867)
• Hermeuptychia hermes (Fabricius, 1775)
• Hermeuptychia hermybius Grishin, 2014
• Hermeuptychia intricata Grishin, 2014
• Hermeuptychia maimoune (Butler, 1870)
• Hermeuptychia pimpla (C. & R. Felder, 1862)
• Hermeuptychia sosybius (Fabricius, 1793)
