Taygetis is a genus of satyrid butterflies found in the Neotropical realm.
Taxonomy and evolution
The genus appeared as polyphyletic, with Taygetis kerea and Taygetis weymeri as part of the butterfly genus Taygetina, whereas Taygetis rectifascia and Taygetis ypthima are related to the genus Pseudodebis. Recently, the "Taygetis ypthima species group" was defined, and it includes Taygetis rectifascia, Taygetis ypthima, Taygetis drogoni, and Taygetis fulginia. However, the inclusion of such a species group within the genus Taygetis is unsupported by molecular and karyological data.
