Markku Savela's database lists 16 species in two subgenera:
Subgenus Cerastis
- Cerastis aspira Gyulai, Ronkay & Saldaitis, 2011
- Cerastis faceta (Treitschke, 1835)
- Cerastis flagellata Gyulai, Ronkay & Saldaitis, 2011
- Cerastis griseiorbis Hreblay & Ronkay, 1997
- Cerastis leucographa (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)
- Cerastis orientalis Boursin, 1948
- Cerastis pallescens (Butler, 1878)
- Cerastis rubricosa (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775)
- Cerastis tenebrifera (Walker, 1865)
- Cerastis violetta Boursin, 1955
Subgenus Metalepsis Grote, 1875
- Cerastis cornuta (Grote, 1874)
- Cerastis enigmatica Crabo & Lafontaine, 1997
- Cerastis fishii (Grote, 1878)
- Cerastis gloriosa Crabo & Lafontaine, 1997
- Cerastis robertsoni Crabo & Lafontaine, 1997

Apart from the subgenus structure, these lists differ in that Savela recognizes Cerastis aspira and Cerastis flagellata missing from the Global Lepidoptera Index, whereas the opposite is true for Cerastis rufomedialis.
