«Hespérie», nom commun réservé à une des deux sous-familles de papillons (les Pyrginae et les Hesperiinae) comprend plusieurs genres, dont «Pholisora». Par contre toute hespérie ne constitue pas nécessairement un «sooty wing». Il y a des hespéries qui sont rendues en anglais par « dusky wings », d'autres par «cloudy wings», encore d'autres par «skippers». Il s'agit de 2 façons différentes de nommer la même réalité. 1, record 1, French, - hesp%C3%A9rie%20Pholisora
