''. In the genus ''Pyrops'' the names of the species follow the rules of the ICZN; that is, since the name of the genus is masculine in gender, the adjectival species epithets in the genus would be given in their masculine form (e.g., ''ochracea'' would become ''ochraceus''; ''candelaria'' is a noun, however, and does not change to ''candelarius''), though numerous authors have consistently (and incorrectly) treated them as feminine. Under the present rules, generic names ending in ''-ops'' must be treated as masculine regardless of the original usage (ICZN Chapter 7, Article 30.1.4.3). A molecular phylogenetic study suggests that ''Pyrops'' is a sister of the genus ''
