Racta is a genus of grass skippers in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. [1] [2] [3]
These species belong to the genus Racta:
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.
Gomalia is a genus of marbled skippers in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. There are three described species in Gomalia.
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.
The Pyrgini are a tribe in the skipper butterfly subfamily Pyrginae. Formerly, when only four tribes of Pyrginae were recognized, the Pyrgini contained the largest number of genera among these. But this overly wide delimitation has since turned out to be paraphyletic.
Urbanus is a genus of skipper butterflies erected by Jacob Hübner in 1807, placed to subtribe Eudamina. Species of the genus are found from the southern United States to South America.
Bungalotis is a genus of Neotropical butterflies in the family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae), in which they are placed to genus Phocidini.
Dyscophellus is a genus of largely Neotropical butterflies in the family Hesperiidae. The genus has been the subject of recent revisions based on genome analysis. It is currently placed in tribe Phocidini within the subfamily 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.
Moeris is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Nerula is a genus of dicot skippers in the butterfly family Hesperiidae (Eudaminae).
Paracarystus is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Telegonus is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae, in which it is placed in subtribe Eudamina. It has been the subject of recent revision, and now includes several species formerly in Astraptes, Autochton and Urbanus.
Vidius is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
The Carcharodini are a tribe in the skipper butterfly subfamily Pyrginae. They are a very diverse but quite plesiomorphic and inconspicuous group distributed throughout the tropics.
Eantis thraso is a species of spread-wing skipper in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. It is found in Central America, South America, and the Caribbean.
Eantis tamenund, the sickle-winged skipper, is a species of spread-wing skipper in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. It is found in Central America, Mexico, the south central United States, and Caribbean countries.
Chirgus is a genus of checkered-skippers, white-skippers, and allies in the butterfly family Hesperiidae, found in the New World. The genus was erected by Nick V. Grishin in 2019. There are about six described species in Chirgus.
Agyllia is a genus of spread-wing skippers in the butterfly family Hesperiidae, erected in 2020. There are at least three described species in Agyllia, all found in Africa. These species were formerly members of the genus Spialia.
Ernsta is a genus of spread-wing skippers in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. There are about 14 described species in Ernsta, found mainly in Africa. These species were formerly members of the genus Spialia.
