Gomalia albofasciata, the Asian marbled skipper, is a species of spread-wing skipper in the butterfly family Hesperiidae. It is found in India and Sri Lanka.
This species was formerly a subspecies of Gomalia elma, but was elevated in rank to species as a result of genomic research published in 2020.[1][2][3]
