Quedara basiflava, the yellow-base flitter [1] or golden flitter,[2] is a butterfly belonging to the family Hesperiidae and is endemic to India's Western Ghats.

Upperside dark glossy blackish-brown, almost black.

Forewing with a short post-medial semi-hyaline, white, fairly broad band, composed of two semi-quadrate, rather long, conjugated spots, filling up the end of the cell, the lower spot the larger, a still larger semi-quadrate spot below extending to the first median nervule, only divided from the upper spots by the median vein, its outer end extending somewhat outwards.

Hindwing with a chrome-yellow basal patch, varying in extent in different examples, in the type specimen the basal third of the wing is so coloured, in some examples from the Nilgiris the chrome-yellow basal patch is much more limited.

Antennae black, without markings; palpi, head and body above and the legs concolorous with the wings, palpi and thorax below greyish, abdomen cinereous.
