Cycloglypha polax Evans, 1953 belongs to the genus Camptopleura Mabille, 1877 and not Cycloglypha Mabille, 1903

Genomic analysis of Erynnini Brues & F. Carpenter, 1932 reveals that Cycloglypha polax Evans, 1953 (type locality in Brazil: Mato Grosso) is not placed within Cycloglypha Mabille, 1903 (type species Hesperia thrasibulus Fabricius, 1793 ) but instead originates within Camptopleura Mabille, 1877 (type species Camptopleura theramenes Mabille, 1877 ) ( Fig. 38). Therefore, we propose to place it in the latter genus as Camptopleura polax (Evans, 1953) , comb. nov.
