Inglorius is a genus of skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae, containing only one species, the mediocre skipper (Inglorius mediocris). It is endemic to Guatemala.
Skippers are a family of the Lepidoptera named the Hesperiidae. Being diurnal, they are generally called butterflies. 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.
The superfamily Papilionoidea contains all the butterflies except for the moth-like Hedyloidea.
Thymelicus is a Palearctic genus in the skipper butterfly family, Hesperiidae. The genus is the only member of the tribe Thymelini, but many skipper butterflies are yet to be assigned to tribes, so this might change eventually.
Erynnis is a genus in the skippers butterfly family Hesperiidae, known as the duskywings. Erynnis is found in the Neotropical realm and across the Palearctic, but the highest species diversity is in the Nearctic. The genus was erected by Franz von Paula Schrank in 1801.
Pyrgus is a genus in the skippers butterfly family, Hesperiidae, known as the grizzled skippers. The name "checkered" or "chequered skipper" may also be applied to some species, but also refers to species in the genera Burnsius and Carterocephalus. They occur in the Holarctic with an additional group of species extending to the Neotropic.
Poanes is a genus of skipper butterflies distributed throughout North and Central America. The larvae feed on grasses and sedges. The genus was erected by Samuel Hubbard Scudder in 1872.
Myscelus is a Neotropical genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Aides is a Neotropical genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Carcharodus is a Palearctic genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Codatractus is a Neotropical and Nearctic genus in the family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae).
Favria is a monotypic genus of spread-wing skippers in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. This genus was formerly a synonym of Muschampia, and its only species, Favria cribrellum, was formerly a member of Muschampia. The species is commonly known as the spinose skipper.
Heliopetes is a Neotropical genus of spread-winged skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae.
Leona is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Muschampia is a Palearctic genus of spread-winged skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Papias is a Neotropical genus of grass skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae.
Spialia is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae, which are mainly found in Africa and Asia. They are commonly called grizzled skippers or sandmen.
The Erionotini are a tribe in the Hesperiinae subfamily of skipper butterflies.
Moncini is a butterfly tribe in the skipper subfamily Hesperiinae.
Lon is a genus of skipper butterflies found in North and South America. The genus was erected in 2019 by Nick V. Grishin. The name derives from the last syllable of the type species name.
