Limochores Scudder, 1872 is a valid genus

Sister to the rest of Polites + Wallengrenia excluding Hedone, Limochores Scudder, 1872 (type species Hesperia manataaqua Scudder, 1863, which is a junior subjective synonym of Hesperia origenes Fabricius, 1793) was treated as a junior subjective synonym of Polites (Fig. 14). For the reasons given above for Hedone, we propose the following new or revised combinations: Limochores origenes (Fabricius, 1793), Limochores mystic (W. H. Edwards, 1863), Limochores sonora (Scudder, 1872), Limochores puxillius (Mabille, 1891), and Limochores pupillus (Plötz, 1882) . Interestingly, two difficultto-distinguish species that frequently fly together at the same location, L. origenes and Polites themistocles (Latreille, [1824]), ended up in different genera. Even though their genitalia are similar, they belong to distant from each other clades in the tree (Fig. 14): P. themistocles is closely related to P. peckius, the type genus of Polites, while L. origenes is closer to L. mystic .
