Type species. Hesperia camposa Plötz, 1886.
Definition. A sister genus to Orthos Evans, 1955 (type species Eutychide orthos Godman, 1900) and in a different clade from Turmada Evans, 1955 (type species Dion turmada Druce, 1912), where it was placed previously (Fig. 10). Keys to K. 16.2 in Evans (1955). Differs from other Hesperiidae by unspotted metallic blue-green wings above, hindwing below shiny orange-green with dark veins and narrow discal black band. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly276634.6.3:C296A, aly320.9.2:A59G, aly276634.6.3:C353T, aly5965.2.3:G988A, aly2582.35.2:A932T.
Etymology. The name is a feminine noun in the nominative singular, a fusion of two words in a former name: Turm [ada] and [camp] osa.
