Hesperia |
The Hesperiini are a tribe in the Hesperiinae subfamily of skipper butterflies. Two genera are presently assigned to it, but as most Hesperiinae have not yet been assigned to tribes, this might change eventually.
This is a fairly small tribe, as regards the number of genera as well as species.
