Tsitana, commonly called sylphs, is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae are found primarily in Africa. These are small to medium-sized skippers that are primarily unmarked brown of the upperside wings. For other sylphs see genus Metisella.
Fresna
Fresna is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae. They are commonly known as Acraea skippers.
Monza
genus of insects
Iliana
Iliana is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae. It was first described in 1937 by Ernest Layton Bell, with Iliana romulus as the type species. Species of the genus have a neotropical distribution.
Noctuana
Noctuana is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Gretna
genus of insects
Porostereum
Porostereum is a genus of poroid crust fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae. It was circumscribed by Czech mycologist Albert Pilát in 1937.
Hovala
Hovala is a genus of skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae.
Dardarina
Dardarina is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae. Species of the genus are found in Central America and parts of South America.
Acada
Acada is an Afrotropical genus of skippers.
Prusiana
Prusiana is an Indomalayan genus of grass skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Syzygospora
Syzygospora is a genus of fungi in the family Filobasidiaceae. Circumscribed by the American mycologist George Willard Martin in 1937, the genus is characterized by its gelatinous fruiting bodies that often form galls on host organisms. Syzygospora species possess distinctive features such as thin-walled hyphae with clamp connections, haustorial branches, and a hymenium containing probasidia that develop into elongated, club-shaped basidia. The genus has undergone taxonomic revisions, including the synonymization of Christiansenia and the transfer of some lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) specie
Melphina
Melphina is a genus of skipper butterflies in the family Hesperiidae.
Lepella
Lepella is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae. It consists of only one species, Lepella lepeletier, commonly known as '''Lepeletier's sylph''', which is found in eastern Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Sudan, Uganda, western Kenya, western Tanzania and north-western Zambia. The habitat consists of submontane grassland.

It consists of only one species, Mopala orma, the orma, which is found in Guinea, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Uganda. The habitat consists of wet forests.
Moltena
Moltena is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae. It is named after the town of Molteno, Eastern Cape.
Leona
genus of insects
Trypetheliopsis
Trypetheliopsis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Monoblastiaceae. It contains eight species. The genus grows as a thin crust on tree bark, typically in tropical and subtropical regions, and is recognised by its flask-shaped fruiting bodies that are embedded within raised, crusty structures on the lichen's surface. Species in this genus were largely forgotten by lichenologists for several decades until 2009, when researchers studying Japanese herbarium specimens "resurrected" the group by reclassifying several related lichens within it.
Strangesta
Strangesta is a genus of gastropods belonging to the family Rhytididae.
Hamartia
genus of insects
Herpothallon
Herpothallon is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Arthoniaceae. It has about 50 species.
Achytonix
Achytonix is a genus of moths of the family Noctuidae.
Cissachroa
Cissachroa is a monotypic moth genus of the family Crambidae described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1937. Its only species, Cissachroa callischema, described in the same article, is found in Australia.
Troglodillo
Troglodillo is a genus of isopods belonging to the family Armadillidae. This genus was described in 1937 by Harold Gordon Jackson. The type specimen of this genus is a Troglodillo emarginatus that was found in Northern Thailand. There are currently three species in this genus.
Daphnimorpha
Daphnimorpha is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Thymelaeaceae.
