Descriptions of one hundred new species of Hesperiidae. Hesperiidae

A century and a half since the time of Hewitson, we are experiencing a renaissance in species discovery fueled by whole genome sequencing. A large-scale genomic analysis of Hesperiidae, including primary type specimens, reveals a deluge of species new to science. One hundred of them (one in a new genus) are described here from the New World. Additionally, we present evidence to support 22 taxa as species (not subspecies or synonyms), synonymize one genus and four species, and designate one neotype and nine lectotypes.
