  • Oenomaus

    Oenomaus is a genus of hairstreak butterflies (Lycaenidae: Theclinae: Eumaeini) first described by Hübner in 1819. Species in this genus are relatively large compared to other hairstreaks and are distributed from southern Texas through Central America to southern Brazil. At least one species, Oenomaus ortygnus, is a significant agricultural pest of Annona fruit crops, with larvae boring into fruit pulp and causing economically important damage.
