Taxon discussion.

Hesperus pacificus Olliff, 1887 was originally described from LHI where it is endemic. In contrast to the above mentioned LHI endemic Hesperus dolichoderes and presumably closely related ' Cafius ' gigas , Hesperus pacificus looks like a more typical species of the genus, i.e. more brightly coloured, with well developed wings.
