Burara etelka, the great orange awlet, is a species of skipper described by William Chapman Hewitson in 1871. [1] In some schemes it is treated as Bibasis etelka. [1] However, it was instead listed as Burara etelka in Maruyama & Otsuka, 1991, then again by Bridges, 1994. The genus Burara was further treated as valid by Vane-Wright & de Jong 2003 when they distinguished multiple species as divergent from Bibasis. Later, Chiba, 2009 detailed the comparative morphology of the species as Burara etelka, [2] and the status as Burura was strongly supported in genomic analyses by Toussaint, 2020.
The distribution of Burara etelka is mostly Southeast Asia.
