The following genera are recognised in the subtribe Moncina:
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.
The Hesperiini or branded grass skippers are a tribe in the Hesperiinae subfamily of skipper butterflies. They are known as branded grass skippers because all the males in this tribe feature a black diagonal brand of scales on their forewings that exude pheromones to attract females.
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.
