Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- This name is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Eropus Grouvelle, 1895 (Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. 64 : 162). In the text (: 428) Godman & Salvin explained in a footnote that after plate 88, bearing the name Eropus had been drawn they had ascertained that the generic name had already been published as the name for a different genus. They accordingly thereupon introduced the replacement name Theagenes for the present genus. See also electronic Biologia centrali americana. Insecta. Lepidoptera-Rhopalocera volume 2 The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
