Ismene gomata Moore, 1865[1] Burara gomata Vane-Wright and de Jong, 2003
Bibasis gomata, commonly known as the pale green awlet,[2][3] is a butterfly belonging to the family Hesperiidae.[4] It is found in Northeast India, the Western Ghats and parts of Southeast Asia. The butterfly was reassigned to genus Burara by Vane-Wright and de Jong (2003) and is considered by them to be Burara gomata.[5]
^Vane-Wright and de Jong (2003) (see TOL web pages on genus Bibasis and genus Burara in the Tree of Life Web Project) state that Bibasis contains just three diurnal species, the crepuscular remainder having been removed to Burara. The species now shifted to Burara are morphologically and behaviorally distinct from Bibasis, within which many authors have formerly included them.
