Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Helias pyralina Möschler is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Hesperia begga Prittwitz, 1868 (Stett. ent. Ztg 29 : 198). See also electronic Biologia centrali americana. Insecta. Lepidoptera-Rhopalocera volume 2 The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). See images at Butterflies of America where it is treated in the Pyrrginae: Erynnini.
