Eutychide ochus Godman, 1900 and Eutychide rogersi (Kaye, 1914) are valid species-level taxa

Placed as a subspecies of Eutychide subcordata (Herrich-Schäffer, 1869) (type locality likely in Brazil: Rio de Janeiro) by Evans (1955), Eutychide ochus Godman, 1900 (type locality in Mexico: Veracruz) is not conspecific with the former because Evans misidentified E. subcordata , which instead, as shown above, is conspecific with and a senior name for Hesperia olympia Plötz, 1882 (type locality in Brazil). Therefore, the senior name for the species Evans misidentified as E. subcordata is E. ochus , and a senior name for the subspecies Evans misidentified as E. subcordata subcordata is Cobalopsis rogersi Kaye, 1914 (type locality in Trinidad, syntype sequenced as NVG-15038C10) ( Fig. 7). However, Evans (1955) mentioned male genitalia differences between his subspecies of “ E. subcordata ” and genomic sequencing suggests that these “subspecies” are species-level taxa. Therefore, we reinstate these two taxa as species: Eutychide ochus Godman, 1900 and Eutychide rogersi (Kaye, 1914) .
