Moeris is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Recognised species in the genus Moeris include:

The Astictopterini are a tribe in the Hesperiinae subfamily of skipper butterflies. As most Hesperiinae have not yet been assigned to tribes, more genera may be placed here eventually.

Cumbre is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
