Here, we present new molecular and morphological evidence that contributes towards clarifying the phylogenetic relations within the family Hesperiidae, and overcomes taxonomic problems regarding this family. First, nine new complete mitogenomes, comprising seven newly sequenced species and two samples of previously sequenced species collected from different localities, were obtained and assembled to analyze characteristics. The length of the mitogenomes ranges from 15,284 to 15,853 bp and encodes 13 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes, 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, and a control region. Two model-based methods (maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference) were used to infer the phylogenetic relationships. Based on the mitogenomic phylogenetic analyses and morphological evidence, we claim that the lineage that comprises two Asian genera,ApostictopterusLeech andBarcade Nicéville, should be a tribe Barcini stat. nov. of the subfamily Trapezitinae,Pseudocoladenia dea(Leech, 1894),P. festa(Evans, 1949), andAbraximorpha estaEvans, 1949 are considered distinct species. Finally, we suggest thatLotongus saralus chinensisEvans, 1932 should belong to the genusAcerbasde Nicéville, 1895, namelyAcerbas saralus chinensis(Evans, 1932) comb. nov..
