The Malindeva Skipper or Two-spotted Sedge-skipper (Hesperilla malindeva) is a butterfly of the Hesperiidae family. It is found in New South Wales and Queensland.
The wingspan is about 30 mm.
The larvae feed on Gahnia aspera.[1] They make a shelter by rolling leaves of their host into a tube. They remain in this shelter during the day and come out to feed at night.
