Phylogenetic analysis of their protein-coding regions unexpectedly revealed that <i>Yanguna tetricus</i> Bell, 1931 was not monophyletic with the other species of <i>Yanguna</i> (type species <i>Pyrrhopyga spatiosa</i> Hewitson, 1870). Instead, <i>Y. tetricus</i> formed a phylogenetic lineage as ancient as other three genera in its clade (<i>Pyrrhopyge</i>, <i>Yanguna</i> and <i>Gunayan</i>) that rapidly diversified from their ancestor. Therefore a new genus, <i>Guyanna</i> Grishin, <b>gen. n</b>. (type species <i>Yanguna tetricus</i>), is proposed for this lineage. The specimen that we sequenced was the <i>Y</i>. <i>tetricus</i> holotype in the Natural History Museum, London, leaving no doubt that we are dealing with this species. Genomic sequencing and comparison of specimens from museum collections offers a powerful strategy to reveal unforeseen phylogenetic relationships, and sequencing of primary types ensures that the conclusions are accurate in terms of nomenclature.</p>","PeriodicalId":93504,"journal":{"name":"Tropical lepidoptera research","volume":"32 2","pages":"73-78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/02/6a/nihms-1846952.PMC9648695.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40689788","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}
