Methionopsis modestus Godman, 1901 View in CoL is a valid name

Incorrectly considered a synonym of Hesperia ina Plötz, 1882 (type locality Panama: Chiriqui), which is conspecific with Methionopsis typhon Godman, 1901 (type locality Guatemala) instead, Methionopsis modestus Godman, 1901 (type locality Mexico (Gue, Ver, and Tab), Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, and Brazil) becomes a valid name for the species referred previously to as Methionopsis ina . This species is characterized by a long brand above vein CuA 2 on the forewing ( Evans 1955).
