Type species. Antigonus liborius Plötz, 1884 View in CoL .

Definition. Genomic sequencing of the Antigonus liborius Plötz, 1884 View in CoL (type locality Brazil: Bahia) syntype in the ZMHB reveals that it is not monophyletic with Antigonus Hübner, [1819] View in CoL (type species Urbanus erosus Hübner, [1812] View in CoL ), but instead is in the same clade with Paches exosa (Butler, 1877) View in CoL (type locality Brazil: Amazonas) within Paches Godman and Salvin, 1895 View in CoL (type species Pythonides loxus Westwood, 1852 View in CoL ) forming a new subgenus of Paches View in CoL ( Fig. 6 View Figure 6 ). Keys to E.43.5 or E.55.7a in Evans (1953). Distinguished from its relatives by the combination of the following characters: hindwings (at least in males) with concave outer margin in cell Sc+R 1 -RS and between veins M 1 and M 3 (sometimes only slightly); complete lack of blue coloration (blue or purple at least on hindwing in male in subgenus Paches View in CoL ); uncus divided, as broad as wide (narrower in Antigonus View in CoL ), weakly separated from tegumen (stronger in subgenus Paches View in CoL ); valva with a long curved process on ampulla protruding caudad beyond harpe; harpe narrow, less than half of valva width. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly 1454.6.2:G68A, aly 1838.7.1:A584G, aly 1838.7.1:T609A, aly208.4.3:A578G, and aly685.1.9:G164A.

Etymology. The name is a masculine noun in the nominative singular formed as a fusion of the two genus names: [An] Tig [onus] + [Pach] es, symbolizing a transfer of the type species from Antigonus to Paches .

Species included. The type species, Achlyodes mutilatus Hopffer, 1874 and Achlyodes exosa Butler, 1877 .

Parent taxon. Genus Paches Godman and Salvin, 1895 .
