Aurina is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae. It contains only one species, Aurina dina, which is found in Ivory Coast.[2]

Taxonomy

The genus was erected as a monobasic Afrotropical genus. However, the specimens on which the erection of the genus was based appear to represent mislabelled Neotropical material, resembling the Neotropical genus Ablepsis.[2]
