1872. Scudd., Syst. Eev. 4G [Pyrrhopyga] : specifies Phidias (Bixce) 

 as type. 

 Phidias, however, was taken in 1852 as type of Pachyrhopala. 

 Hyperici may be selected as the typo of this genus.

Jovianus, which is generically distinct from Cerialis, cannot be taken

 taken as the only one used by all authors.
