What is collectively referred to as the hip flexors is actually a group of muscles that includes the iliopsoas, the thigh muscles (rectus femoris, Sartorius and tensor fasciae latae), and the inner thigh muscles (adductor longus and brevis, pectineus and gracilis).
The main adductors of the hip are the adductor magnus muscle, the adductor longus muscle, and the adductor brevis muscle. These adductors are assisted by the gracilis and the pectineus.
