Euriphellus
Genus of butterflies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Euriphellus is a genus of Neotropical butterflies in the family Hesperiidae, in which it is placed in the tribe Phocidini.[1] The genus was separated from Dyscophellus by George Traut Austin in 2008, and originally contained a single species, Euriphellus euribates. Since then, several other species have been transferred to the genus.[1]
