Comparing specimens curated in MfN as primary types of Hesperiidae names proposed by Carl Plötz with the original descriptions and unpublished drawings reveals a number of inconsistencies that we address. Lectotypes are designated for Butler, 1877, Plötz, 1881, and Plötz, 1884. Neotypes are designated for Plötz, 1882 and Plötz, 1882. Plötz, 1883 is treated as a . As a result of these designations, the following are junior objective synonyms: Plötz, 1882 of Butler, 1877 and Plötz, 1882 of Möschler, 1879, the latter two names being homonyms. In all these instances, the original descriptions are satisfied, and, except for , the current application of these names is unaffected. Taxonomically, Schaus, 1902, . is a valid species, not a synonym of , which is a junior subjective synonym of (Mabille, 1883).
