Scientific name for social butterfly

The other day I heard someone called a "social butterfly" for the first
time, and my immediate thought was "lepidopterus socialis" -- but that
can't be right, can it?  I mean, lepidoptera is an order, not a genus. 
Can anyone help me out here?

TIA,
Louis

P.S. There aren't _really_ any social butterflies, are there?
