Lerodea
Lerodea is a genus of grass skippers in the family Hesperiidae, comprising seven described species distributed primarily in the Americas. The genus was established by Scudder in 1872, with Lerodea eufala designated as the type species. Species in this genus are generally associated with grassland and open habitats, where their larvae feed on various grass species. The most widely distributed member, Lerodea eufala (the Eufala Skipper), ranges from the southern United States through much of South America.
