Amblyscirtes florus (Godman, 1900) , revised combination

Stomyles florus Godman, 1900 (type locality Mexico: Nayarit), currently in Repens Evans, 1955 (type species Repens repens Evans, 1955 ), is not monophyletic with its type species and instead is sister to Amblyscirtes Scudder, 1872 (type species Hesperia vialis W. H. Edwards, 1862 ) ( Fig. 13 ), of which Stomyles Scudder, 1872 (type species Pyrgus textor Hübner, [1831] , currently a junior subjective synonym of Hesperia aesculapius Fabricius, 1793 ) is a subgenus. Attributed to Amblyscirtes by Hoffmann (1941) and reaffirmed in this genus by Evans (1955) due to phenotypic similarities ( Evans 1955), it was then placed in Repens by Warren et al. (1998). Here, we return it to its nearly original genus as Amblyscirtes florus (Godman, 1900) , revised combination.
