Genus Arielulus
- Bronze sprite (A. circumdatus)
- Coppery sprite (A. cuprosus)
- Social sprite (A. societatis)
The collared sprite (T. aureocollaris) and necklace sprite (T. torquatus) in the genus Thainycteris were formerly also classified in Arielulus, but phylogenetic evidence supports them forming a distinct genus.[2][3]
