Type species. Hesperia kora Hewitson, 1877 View in CoL .

Definition. Genetically separated from Justinia Evans, 1955 View in CoL (type species Hesperia justinianus Latreille, 1824 View in CoL ), where it was previously placed, and possibly not even monophyletic with it due to weak statistical support, pending more detailed studies ( Fig. 16 View Figure 16 ), therefore proposed as a genus. Keys to J. 49.2 in Evans (1955). Distinguished from Justinia View in CoL by white above antennal club, flanges on tegumen, shorter uncus arms and expanded ampulla. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly363.37.2:C727A, aly813.4.4:T4508G, aly1222.14.14:A7170C, aly694.20.3:G480A, and aly694.20.3:T479C.

Etymology. The name is a feminine noun in the nominative singular formed from the type species name.

Species included. Only the type species.
