Hyalothyrus is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae). [1]
Hyalothyrus neleus is restricted to primary rainforest at altitudes between sea level and about 800 metres.
H. neleus caterpillars feed on Inga ( Fabaceae ) and are a dirty greenish colour, with a series of prominent pale green spots along the sides, and a large shiny reddish brown head. The internal organs and digestive system are clearly visible through the translucent skin. There is no information about the pupa, but in common with other Pyrgine skippers it is likely to be dark and smooth, with the wing cases in a contrasting tone or colour.
Adults of H. neleus are social and primarily active at dusk, or on overcast days. [2]
Pyrgus is a genus in the skippers butterfly family, Hesperiidae, known as the grizzled skippers. The name "grizzled skipper" best describes this genus, but in some countries the name "checkered" or "chequered skipper" is applied to some species. Strictly speaking, "chequered skippers" applies to butterflies of the genus Carterocephalus. They occur in the Holarctic with an additional group of species extending to the Neotropic.
Astraptes is the genus of flasher butterflies. They belong to the skipper butterfly subfamily Eudaminae, which was long included with the spread-winged skippers (Pyrginae) as a tribe. They are found in the Nearctic and Neotropical ecozones.
Epargyreus is the genus of flasher butterflies, which belong to the Eudaminae skipper subfamily. The members (species) occur in the Nearctic and Neotropical realms.
Urbanus is a genus of skipper butterflies erected by Jacob Hübner in 1807. They belong to the subfamily Eudaminae, which was long included with the spread-winged skippers (Pyrginae) as a tribe. They are found from the southern United States to South America.
