Type species. Pardaleodes xanthioides Holland, 1892 View in CoL .

Definition. A sister genus to Hollandus Larsen and Collins, 2015 ( type species Pardaleodes xanthopeplus Holland, 1892 View in CoL ), formerly placed in Paronymus Aurivillius, 1925 View in CoL ( type species Hesperia ligora Hewitson, 1876 View in CoL ), but is not monophyletic with it ( Fig. 9 View Figure 9 ). Keys to VII. 45.4 in Evans (1937) and differs from its relatives by narrow, beak-like uncus; tegumen narrowing into uncus gradually, their junctions slightly concave in ventral view; lack of gnathos; harpe gradually upturned, finely serrated at its short but nearly dorsal margin, with a tooth directed dorsad near its base; hindwing outer margin and tornus brown below. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly822.30.12:C365T, aly 1089.8.4:G53A, aly164.3.1:A811G, aly5294.20.2:A547A (not T), aly5294.20.2:A548A (not C), aly838.12.1: T458 T (not A).

Etymology. The name is a masculine noun in the nominative singular, fusion of the type species name with the genus name where it was placed previously: Xanth [ioides] and [Par] onymus.
