Type species. Cyclopides barberae Trimen, 1873 .

Definition. Currently in Kedestes Watson, 1893 (type species Hesperia lepenula Wallengren, 1857 ), but not monophyletic with it and instead sister to a clade consisting of Nervia Grishin, 2019 (type species Hesperia nerva Fabricius, 1793 ) and Tsitana Evans, 1937 (type species Cyclopides tsita Trimen, 1870 ) ( Fig. 10 ). Keys to 27.B.(a) (a1)(a2)(a3) in Evans (1937). Distinguished from its relatives by the following combination of characters: antennae ventrally pale, with blunt apiculus, forewings with white spots, ventral hindwing brown with silver or white markings, uncus sides straight to convex in dorsal view, tegumen strongly notched before uncus in lateral view, gnathos developed, separated from uncus, valva twice as long as wide, harpe slightly separated from not expanded ampulla, distally with a knob-like projection. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly1222.15.2:A8503C, aly1370.20.2:C124A, aly3087.2.1:T919A, aly347.12.1:A962A (not G), aly2487.24.2:C457C

(not A), aly 1838.7.1:G340G (not C), aly8661.2.1:A1479A (not C), aly84.37.1:T669T (not C), aly127.91.2:T147T (not C), aly563.9.2:A1117A (not C), aly 1060.3.2:A168A (not T), and aly 1379.9.4:A1006A (not C).

Etymology. The name is a feminine noun in the nominative singular, given for the trident-like white pattern on ventral hindwing of the type species.

Species included. The type species and Kedestes sarahae Henning and Henning, 1998 .

Parent taxon. Tribe Astictopterini Swinhoe, 1912 .
