Abstract
AbstractA distinct group of skippers, mainly from northern Australia, including Hesperilla malindeva Lower, H. sexguttata Herrich‐Schäffer and H. furva Sands and Kerr, is revised. The morphology of the adults and immature stages, and the larval biology, show that Telesto crypsigramma Meyrick and Lower, formerly referred to Toxidia Mabille, also belongs to this group. H. sarnia sp. n. is described and assigned to this group on the basis of wing venation and genitalic characters. Illustrated descriptions and a key to the species are given.
