Hesperiini
Tribe of butterflies
The Hesperiini or branded grass skippers [ 1] are a tribe in the Hesperiinae subfamily of skipper butterflies . They are known as branded grass skippers because all the males in this tribe feature a black diagonal brand of scales on their forewings that exude pheromones to attract females.[ 1] Some subspecies of Hesperiini, such as Thespius Maacki, are found in high-altitude grasslands in areas like Araçatuba Mountain in Paraná, Brazil.[ 2]
