Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Godman designated Thracides aepitus Geyer, [1832] (in Hübner, Zutr. z. Samml. exot. Schmett. 4 : 18, pl. [114], figs 659, 660) as the type-species of this genus. It is quite clear however from the descriptions and figures that he gave that the species to which he applied that name) was in reality Hesperia aquilina Plötz, 1883. First, he gave two figures of what he called Thracides aepitus ; these were fig. 47 (venation of forewing) and fig. 48 (male - genitalia) on plate 103. Both of these figures present aquilina Plötz and not aepitus Geyer. Second, he described under the name Artines atizies a new nominal species, for which he gave two figures on plate 103, namely fig. 49 (male - underside) and fig. 50 (male - genitalia). Both these figures represent the true aepitus Geyer. What happened therefore was that Godman was in possession of specimens both of aepitus and of aquilina but that he made the mistake of applying the name aepitus to aquilina and, thinking that the species to which the name aepitus properly applies was an undescribed species, gave to it the new specific name atizies. The genus Artines Godman was thus based upon a misidentified type-species. Accordingly, the Commission is being asked to designate under Article 70(a) the nominal species Hesperia aquilina Plötz, 1883, to be the type-species of Artines Godman. In accordance with the provisions of Article 80 that species is here treated as the type-species of this genus, pending the publication of the Commission's decision on the application submitted. Cowan (1968, Annot. Rhop: .) made the following comment for this and other genera Opinions published in September and December 1967 in Bull. zool. Nomencl. 24, parts (4) and (5) CONFIRMED the forecasts given in the List [Hemming, 1967] for the following genera; Adopaeoides Godman; Op. 825 Arisbe Hübner; Op. 823 Artines Godman; Op. 826 Gegenes Hübner; Op. 827 Halpe Moore; Op. 828 Iaspis Kaye; Op. 821 Napaea Hübner; Op. 820 Papias Godman; Op. 829 Phanes Godman; Op. 830 Phrissura Butler; Op. 824 Telicota Moore; Op. 831 Ypthima Hübner; Op. 819 Zenis Godman; Op. 832 Hesperia aquillna Plotz, 1883 was designated as the type-species for Artines Goodman, [1901], using the plenary powers of the Commission. Hesperia aquillna was placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology and Artines on the List of Generic Names in Zoology, (Opinion 826), The Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 24 (4) : 224.

See images at Butterflies of America where it is treated in the Hesperiinae : Moncini.
