Haematera pyrame is a South American species of butterflies belonging to the family Nymphalidae. It was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1781 under the name Papilio pyramus, which was preoccupied (by the species now known as Tarsoctenus corytus). Jacob Hübner designated a slightly modified replacement name. As currently prescribed, it is the only species in the genus Haematera.
