Hesperia, the branded skippers, is a Holarctic genus in the skippers (Hesperiidae) butterfly family. Most species are endemic to North America, Hesperia comma is widespread throughout the region. H. florinda is endemic to temperate eastern Asia. H. nabokovi is endemic to Hispaniola.

Presumably, Johan Christian Fabricius named the genus for Hesperia, one of the Hesperides.

Hesperia er en slekt av sommerfugler som tilhører familien smygere (Hesperiidae).

Utseende

Middelsstore (vingespenn ca. 30 millimeter), kraftige, brunlige smygere. Oversiden er brun med gulaktige felter, undersiden av forvingen mest gulbrun, undersiden av bakvingen er grå til grønnlig med sølvaktig hvite flekker eller streker.

Levevis

Disse smygerne flyr gjerne på enger, larvene lever på ulike gress. De voksne besøker gjerne blomster.

Utbredelse

Slekten har en holarktisk utbredelse, men bare tre av de 24 artene lever i Palearktis, de andre i Nord-Amerika. I Europa lever bare kommasmyger (Hesperia comma).
