''Ernsta'' is a genus of spread-wing skippers in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. There are about 14 described species in ''Ernsta'', found mainly in Africa. These species were formerly members of the genus ''Spialia''. Species These species belong to the genus ''Ernsta'': * ''Ernsta bifida'' (Higgins, 1924) * ''Ernsta colotes'' (Druce, 1875) (Bushveld Sandman) * ''Ernsta confusa'' (Higgins, 1924) (Confusing Sandman) * ''Ernsta delagoae'' (Trimen, 1898) (Delagoa Sandman) * ''Ernsta depauperata'' (Strand, 1911) (Wandering Sandman) * ''Ernsta dromus'' (Plötz, 1884) (Forest Sandman) * ''Ernsta mangana'' (Rebel, 1899) (Arabian Grizzled Skipper) * ''Ernsta nanus'' (Trimen, 1889) (Dwarf Sandman) * '' Ernsta paula'' (Higgins, 1924) (Mite Sandman) * '' Ernsta ploetzi'' (Aurivillius, 1891) (Forest Grizzled Skipper) * '' Ernsta sataspes'' (Trimen, 1864) (Boland Sandman) * '' Ernsta secessus'' (Trimen, 1891) (Wolkberg Sandman) * '' Ernsta wrefordi'' (Evans, 1951) (Wreford’s Grizzled Skip ...

Hesperiidae
Skippers are a family of the Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) named the Hesperiidae. Being diurnal, they are generally called butterflies. They were previously placed in a separate superfamily, Hesperioidea; however, the most recent taxonomy places the family in the superfamily Papilionoidea, the butterflies. They are named for their quick, darting flight habits. Most have their antenna tips modified into narrow, hook-like projections. Moreover, skippers mostly have an absence of wing-coupling structure available in most moths. More than 3500 species of skippers are recognized, and they occur worldwide, but with the greatest diversity in the Neotropical regions of Central and South America.Ackery et al. (1999) Description and systematics Traditionally, the Hesperiidae were placed in a monotypic superfamily Hesperioidea, because they are morphologically distinct from other Rhopalocera (butterflies), which mostly belong to the typical butterfly superfamily Papilionoidea. ...
