''Favria'' is a monotypic genus of spread-wing skippers in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. This genus was formerly a synonym of ''Muschampia ''Muschampia'' is a Palearctic genus of spread-winged skippers in the family Hesperiidae. Species These species belong to the genus ''Muschampia'': * ''Muschampia alta'' (Schwingenschuss, 1942) Southern Italy, Balkan Peninsula * ''Muschampia ...'', and its only species, ''Favria cribrellum'', was formerly a member of ''Muschampia''. The species is commonly known as the spinose skipper. The spinose skipper, a species of arid regions, is found in northern Hungary, Romania, Serbia, North Macedonia and Bulgaria, through Ukraine, southern Russia, up to the Altai and the Amur region.

Hesperiidae
Skippers are a family of the Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) named the Hesperiidae. Being diurnal, they are generally called butterflies. They were previously placed in a separate superfamily, Hesperioidea; however, the most recent taxonomy places the family in the superfamily Papilionoidea, the butterflies. They are named for their quick, darting flight habits. Most have their antenna tips modified into narrow, hook-like projections. Moreover, skippers mostly have an absence of wing-coupling structure available in most moths. More than 3500 species of skippers are recognized, and they occur worldwide, but with the greatest diversity in the Neotropical regions of Central and South America.Ackery et al. (1999) Description and systematics Traditionally, the Hesperiidae were placed in a monotypic superfamily Hesperioidea, because they are morphologically distinct from other Rhopalocera (butterflies), which mostly belong to the typical butterfly superfamily Papilionoidea.

Monotypic Taxon
In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unispecific" or "monospecific" is sometimes preferred. In botanical nomenclature, a monotypic genus is a genus in the special case where a genus and a single species are simultaneously described. In contrast, an oligotypic taxon contains more than one but only a very few subordinate taxa. Examples Just as the term ''monotypic'' is used to describe a taxon including only one subdivision, the contained taxon can also be referred to as monotypic within the higher-level taxon, e.g. a genus monotypic within a family. Some examples of monotypic groups are: Plants * In the order Amborellales, there is only one family, Amborellaceae and there is only one genus, '' Amborella'', and in this genus there is only one species, namely ''Amborella trichopoda ...
