Hesperiini, Latreille, 1809

Cock, Matthew J. W., 2014, An updated and annotated checklist of the Hedylidae and Hesperiidae (Lepidoptera) of Trinidad, West Indies, Insecta Mundi 2014 (393), pp. 1-40 : 28-30

Hesperiini

Hylephila phyleus phyleus (Drury, 1773)

Hylephila phylaeus (Drury) : Kaye (1904, no. 269), Kaye (1921, no. 378), Barcant (1970, no. 495) [misspelling]

Hylephila phyleus phyleus (Drury) : Evans (1955), Cock (1982, no. 231), Cock (2007)

Polites vibex (Geyer, 1832) praeceps (Scudder, 1872)

Pamphila vibex (Geyer) : Crowfoot (1893)

Thymelicus vibex Geyer : Godman and Salvin (1893 –1901), Kaye (1904, no. 270), Kaye (1921, no. 379), Barcant (1970, no. 496)

Polites brettus (Boisduval and Le Conte) : Lindsey (1925) [synonym of P. v. vibex ]

Polites vibex (Geyer) : Williams and Bell (1931), Hernández (1992)

Polites vibex praeceps (Scudder) : Evans (1955), Cock (1982, no. 232), Cock (2007)

Wallengenia otho (J.E. Smith, 1797) clavus (Erichson, [1849])

Pamphila misera (Lucas) : Kaye (1914), Kaye (1921, no. 377), Barcant (1970, no. 494) [different ssp.]

Catia pustula (Geyer) : Kaye (1914), Kaye (1921, no. 381), Barcant (1970, no. 499) [synonym of W. o. otho ]

Wallengenia druryi curassavica (Snellen): Evans (1955), Cock (1981a), Cock (1982, no. 233)

Wallengenia otho clavus (Erichson) : Cock (2007)

The record of ‘ Tigasis misera Schaus’ in Draudt (1921 –1924) probably belongs here.? Hesperia misera Schaus is preoccupied by P. misera Lucas , and the replacement name for this Brazilian species is Enosis schausi Mielke and Casagrande ( Mielke and Casagrande 2002) .

Wallengenia premnas (Wallengren, 1860)

Catia pudorina (Capronnier) : Kaye (1940, no. 381d), Barcant (1970, no. 500) [nomen nudum]

Wallengenia premnas (Wallengren) : Evans (1955), Cock (1982, no. 234), Cock (2007)

Pamphila athenion (Hübner) : Crowfoot (1893) [synonym]

Thymelicus athenion (Hübner) : Kaye (1904, no. 271), Kaye (1921, no. 380), Barcant (1970, no. 497) [synonym]

Pompeius pompeius (Latreille) : Evans (1955), Cock (1982, no. 235), Cock (2007)

Pompeius amblyspila (Mabille, 1898)

Pompeius amblyspila (Mabille) : Evans (1955) [error], Cock (1982, no. 236), Cock (2007)

Evans (1955) tentatively included the species now known as Psoralis chittara Schaus, TL Trinidad, in the synonymy of P. amblyspila . The TL of chittara is considered incorrect (see below in List C, Species not recognised from Trinidad). Cock (2007) subsequently did record P. amblyspila from Trinidad.

Atalopedes campestris (Boisduval, 1852) huron (W.H. Edwards, 1863)

Atalopedes campestris (Boisduval) : Kaye (1940, no. 381c), Barcant (1970, no. 498), Cock (2007) Atalopodes campestris campestris (Boisduval) : Cock (1982, no. 237) [misspelling of genus]

Based on the treatment by Warren et al. (2014), the subspecies found in Trinidad should be A. c. huron, rather than A. c. campestris .
