The Gegenini are a tribe in the Hesperiinae subfamily of skipper butterflies. Among others, it contains the butterflies commonly called "swifts" ("Swift moths" belong to the unrelated Hepialidae). As most Hesperiinae have not yet been assigned to tribes, the number of genera assigned to it might increase eventually.
