| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- This generic name was misused for a long period through the action of Scudder in 1872 (4th Ann. Rep. Peabody Acad. Sci. 1871 : 79) when he rejected Butler's prior selection of Papilio crinisus - in accordance with the so-called principle of elimination (discussed above in the portion of the note on the name Audre Hemming, where it is explained how a similar situation of confusion arose through the rejection by Scudder of the earliest (and perfectly valid) type- selection made for the genus Hamearis Hübner). In the present case, after rejecting the type-selection made by Butler, Scudder went on to select Papilio sylvanus Esper, [1777] (Die Schmett. 1 (6) : pl. 36, fig. 1 - female; id., [1779], ibidem. 1 (9) : 343). Scudder's mistake could hardly have been more unfortunate, for it led to the use of the name Augiades for a holarctic genus of Hesperiine Skippers instead of for the purely Neotropical group of Pyrgine Skippers to which it properly applies. I drew attention to this mistake in 1934 (Gen. Names hol. Butts 1 : 160) and expressed the view that Papilio sylvanus and its allies in the Palaearctic Region could properly be united on taxonomic ground with their Nearctic relatives by being placed in the genus Ochlodes Scudder, 1872 (of which Hesperia nemorum Boisduval, 1852, is the type-species). This arrangement was suggested to me by Evans who later re-characterized both Augiades and Ochlodes, listing the species which he considered referable to each Evans, 1949, Cat. Hesp. Eur. Asia Austr. Brit. Mus. : 350-357 (Palaearctic Ochlodes); id., 1955, Cat. Amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 4 : 301, 341-343 (Nearctic Ochlodes); id., 1952, Cat. Amer. Hesp. 2 : 5, 6, 27-28 (Augiades, exclusively Neotropical). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
