Satarupa is a genus of spread-winged skippers in the family Hesperiidae.
Satarupa comes from the Pali śatá (Sanskrit शत shata) meaning "100" and rupa (Sanskrit रूप "rūpa") meaning "form" or "beauty",[2] thus meaning "one hundred (beautiful) forms". It is the name given the wife of Manu; compare the goddess Saraswati.
