Burnsius is a genus of New World checkered-skippers in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. The genus was erected by Nick V. Grishin in 2019. There are about 12 described species in Burnsius.
As a result of a 2019 study of the genomes of 250 representative species of skippers, the genus Burnsius was created to contain 12 related species formerly in the genus Pyrgus.[1]
Species
These 12 species belong to the genus Burnsius:
- Burnsius adepta (Plötz, 1884) (Central American checkered-skipper)
- Burnsius albescens (Plötz, 1884) (white checkered-skipper)
- Burnsius brenda (Evans, 1942) (Brenda checkered-skipper)
- Burnsius chloe (Evans, 1942) (Chloe checkered-skipper)
- Burnsius communis (Grote, 1872) (common checkered-skipper)
- Burnsius crisia (Herrich-Schäffer, 1865) (Antillean checkered-skipper)
- Burnsius notatus (Blanchard, 1852)
- Burnsius oileus (Linnaeus, 1767) (tropical checkered-skipper)
- Burnsius orcus (Stoll, 1780) (orcus checkered-skipper)
- Burnsius orcynoides (Giacomelli, 1928)
- Burnsius philetas (Edwards, 1881) (desert checkered-skipper)
- Burnsius titicaca (Reverdin, 1921) (Peruvian checkered-skipper)
