Systaspes Weeks, 1905 is a valid genus

Inspection of Pyrgini trees ( Fig. 7 ) reveals that Antigonus corrosus Mabille, 1878 , the type species of Systaspes Weeks, 1905 , is a sister to Celotes Godman and Salvin, [1899] (type species Pholisora nessus Edwards, 1877 ) and is not monophyletic with Antigonus Hübner, [1819] (type species Urbanus erosus Hübner, [1812] ). Therefore, we reinstate the genus Systaspes and the combination Systaspes corrosus .
