Cantha Evans, 1955

Cantha Evans, 1955; Cat. amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 4: 46, 69, TS: Cyclopides celeus Mabille
Cantha (Hesperiinae) ; [NL4A, 63]

[NL4A] places Cyclopides celeus into Vehilius, but because celeus is supposed to be the type species of Cantha, it would also make this as synonym of Vehilius, and all species here should be moved there. Is this a case of misidentified type species again?
