They are commonly known as zebra blues in reference to their zebra-striped undersides. Several species have recently been moved here from the genus Tarucus, a rather close relative. An even closer relative, however, seems to be Cyclyrius. SpeciesThe genus can be divided in two distinct geographic groups which are possible clades, as well as one more isolated species:[1] Afrotropical species:- Leptotes adamsoni Collins & Larsen, 1991 – Adamson's zebra blue
- Leptotes babaulti – Babault's zebra blue
- Leptotes brevidentatus (Tite, 1958) – Tite's zebra blue
- Leptotes casca (Tite, 1958)
- Leptotes cassioides (Capronnier, 1889)
- Leptotes jeanneli (Stempffer, 1935)
- Leptotes marginalis Aurivillius, 1924 – black-bordered zebra blue
- Leptotes mayottensis (Tite, 1958)
- Leptotes pirithous – Lang's short-tailed blue, common zebra blue
- Leptotes pulcher (Murray, 1874) – beautiful zebra blue
- Leptotes rabefaner (Mabille, 1877)
- Leptotes socotranus (Ogilvie-Grant, 1899)
- Leptotes terrenus (Joicey & Talbot, 1926)
Neotropical species:- Leptotes andicola (Godman & Salvin, 1891)
- Leptotes bathyllos Dyar, 1913
- Leptotes callanga (Dyar, 1913)
- Leptotes cassius – Cassius blue, tropical striped blue
- Leptotes delalande Bálint & Johnson, 1995
- Leptotes lamasi Bálint & Johnson, 1995
- Leptotes marina – marine blue, striped blue
- Leptotes parrhasioides (Wallengren, 1860) – Galapagos blue
- Leptotes perkinsae Kaye, 1931
- Leptotes trigemmatus (Butler, 1881)
Placement uncertain:- Leptotes plinius – zebra blue, plumbago blue
