Oarisma is a genus of butterflies in the skipper family, Hesperiidae.
Listed alphabetically: [1]
Skippers are a group of butterflies placed in the family Hesperiidae within the order Lepidoptera. 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.
Skipperlings are butterflies in the subfamily Heteropterinae. With about 150 described species, this is one of several smaller skipper butterfly subfamilies.
