Genome-scale phylogenetic trees constructed from the data reveal several non-monophyletic genera and suggest improved classification of species included in these genera. Here, these changes are formalized and 2 subgenera are described: <i>Amblyteria</i> Grishin, subgen. n. (type species <i>Goniloba exoteria</i> Herrich-Schäffer, 1869, parent genus <i>Amblyscirtes</i> Scudder, 1872), and <i>Coa</i> Grishin, subgen. n. (type species <i>Hesperia baracoa</i> Lucas, 1857, parent genus <i>Polites</i> Scudder, 1872). Furthermore, we resurrect 3 genera and 2 subgenera from synonymy, change the rank of 6 currently used genera to subgenus, synonymize 2 genera, transfer 3 (2 resurrected) subgenera and 11 additional species to different genera than those these taxa were assigned to, and raise one name from synonym to species rank. Namely, <i>Hedone</i> Scudder, 1872 and <i>Limochores</i> Scudder, 1872 are valid genera and not synonyms of <i>Polites</i> Scudder, 1872; <i>Pendantus</i> K. Johnson & Kroenlein, 1993 is a valid genus and not a synonym of <i>Electrostrymon</i> Clench, 1961; and <i>Sphaenogona</i> Butler, 1870 and <i>Lucidia</i> Lacordaire, 1833 are valid subgenera of <i>Abaeis</i> Hübner, [1819] (new placement) and not synonyms of <i>Eurema</i> Hübner, [1819]. The following taxa are best treated as subgenera: <i>Mimoides</i> Brown, 1991 of <i>Eurytides</i> Hübner, [1821] (sensu lato); <i>Philotiella</i> Mattoni, [1978] of <i>Euphilotes</i> Mattoni, [1978]; <i>Neominois</i> Scudder, 1875 of <i>Oeneis</i> Hübner, [1819]; <i>Agraulis</i> Boisduval & Le Conte, [1835] of <i>Dione</i> Hübner, [1819]; <i>Copaeodes</i> Speyer, 1877 of <i>Oarisma</i> Scudder, 1872; and <i>Problema</i> Skinner & R. Williams, 1924 of <i>Atrytone</i> Scudder, 1872. <i>Phaeostrymon</i> Clench, 1961 and <i>Saliana</i> Evans, 1955 are junior subjective synonyms of <i>Satyrium</i> Scudder, 1876 and <i>Calpodes</i> Hübner, [1819], respectively. The entire subgenus <i>Erynnides</i> Burns, 1964 is transferred from <i>Erynnis</i> Schrank, 1801 to <i>Gesta</i> Evans, 1953. New genus-species combinations resulting from transfer of species between genera are: <i>Nastra perigenes</i> (Godman, 1900) (not <i>Vidius</i> Evans, 1955); <i>Troyus fantasos</i> (Cramer, 1780), <i>Troyus onaca</i> (Evans, 1955), <i>Troyus aurelius</i> (Plötz, 1882), <i>Troyus marcus</i> (Fabricius, 1787), <i>Troyus diversa</i> (Herrich-Schäffer, 1869), and <i>Troyus drova</i> (Evans, 1955) (not <i>Vettius</i> Godman, 1901); <i>Oligoria percosius</i> (Godman, 1900), <i>Oligoria rindgei</i> (H. Freeman, 1969), <i>Oligoria lucifer</i> (Hübner, [1831]), and <i>Oligoria mustea</i> (H. Freeman, 1979) (not <i>Decinea</i> Evans, 1955). <i>Urbanus alva</i> Evans, 1952 is a valid species and not a synonym of <i>Urbanus belli</i> (Hayward, 1935), new status.</p>","PeriodicalId":75197,"journal":{"name":"The taxonomic report of the International Lepidoptera Survey","volume":"8 2","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8570546/pdf/nihms-1724226.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39598561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
