A brief historical review regarding the type locality of Euptychia stigmatica Godman, 1905 was conducted, which suggests that its type locality is actually Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, rather than northeastern Argentina, as previously purported. Consequently, E. stigmatica and its senior synonym E. cyanites Butler, 1871, are regarded to be two species-group names representing a taxon in the euptychiine genus Caeruleuptychia Forster, 1964 known from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. A lectotype is designated for E. cyanites. Additionally, two closely related species are named and described using an integrative approach with morphological and molecular evidence. Caeruleuptychia harrisi Nakahara & Freitas, sp. nov. and C. aemulatio Nakahara & Willmott, sp. nov. both occur in Amazonia and COI barcode data recovered these taxa as part of the caerulea clade of Caeruleuptychia.

Modica Zacca, Casagrande & Willmott, genus novum. Type species — Euptychia confusa Staudinger, 1887, by present designation. Zoobank registration: https://zoobank.org/Nomenclatural Acts/D3CE81CE-5587-41D5-AFB6-934343C11D6F Systematic placement and diagnosis. Modica gen.n. is a member of the ‘ Splendeuptychia clade’ (Figure 10), in which its monophyly is strongly supported (FULL dataset SH-aLRT =100, UFB = 100). Its relationships to other members of the clade, however, are not clear; the genus is placed as sister to Parypthimoides, but support is inconclusive (FULL dataset SH-aLRT 100, UFB 43), and is further found within the same strongly supported clade that also contains Deltaya gen.n. (see under that genus), Scriptor, Emeryus, Colombeia and Malaveria (FULL dataset SH-aLRT 100, UFB 95). As with Deltaya gen.n., no morphological synapomorphies were identified for Modica gen.n., but these two genera share the same somewhat distinctive characters within Euptychiina (see under the former genus). Overall, the genus is best distinguished from phenotypically similar genera by the pale pupils of the HW ocellus in Cu 2 -Cu 1 being visible on the dorsal surface, by the VHW postdiscal ocelli in cells Cu 1 -M 3 and M 3 -M 2 being of similar size, round (not elongate) and each containing two enlarged, elongated silver pupils, and by the marginal line not widening in the VHW tornus (Figures 37 and 38). The genitalia of both sexes (Figure 39) are described below, and, as with Deltaya gen.n., they are broadly similar to those of a number of more or less distantly related euptychiine genera, in other words lacking obvious synapomorphies. The eighth abdominal segment of the female is only slightly pleated and expandable, similar to Scriptor and some related species but differing from others in which it is fully pleated and expandable, with this character varying within genera (e.g. within Paryphthimoides and Deltaya gen.n.). The female genitalia also lacks a sclerotized lamella antevaginalis and there is no sclerotized plate present on the ventral intersegmental membrane of the seventh and eighth abdominal segments, unlike Scriptor and some species of Deltaya gen.n. Characters that differ among the genera within the clade in which Modica gen.n. is placed are summarized in Table 1. Etymology. The generic name is a feminine Latin adjective treated as a noun in the nominative singular, meaning something that is modest, ordinary, average, in reference to the ‘typical’ euptychiine morphology of this genus and its lack of obvious distinguishing characters. Description (Figures 37 – 39). Some notable characters include: eyes setose; pterothoracic legs dorsally slightly darker, tibia with two principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, pair of spurs of similar length at distal end of tibia, first tarsomere with three principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, remaining tarsomeres with four principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally. Medium-sized Euptychiina (FW length typically 21 – 28 mm), FW triangular and rather rounded at apex, HW rounded. No strong sexual dimorphism: Dorsal wings dark brown to greyish brown, pale pupils of ocellus in cell Cu 2 -Cu 1 visible on DHW, no androconial scales present. Ventral wings greyish brown to yellowish brown; relatively broad, dark brown to reddish brown discal and postdiscal lines traversing both wings; VFW with three postdiscal ocelli in cells Cu 1 -M 3, M 3 -M 2, M 2 -M 1, anterior ocellus more clearly marked than remainder, lying within a broad dark brown band (umbra), with this band and adjacent area basally in middle of wing tinged yellowish in M. myncea comb.n. and M. confusa comb.n.; VHW similar to VFW but with five postdiscal ocelli between Cu 2 and Rs, those in cells Cu 2 -Cu 1 and M 2 -M 1 typically slightly larger, black-centred with two silver dots in each ocellus as pupils, ocellus in M 1 -Rs similar but much smaller, and those in cell Cu 1 -M 2 with dark brown centres and elongate silver pupils; marginal line thin and even throughout, not thickening at tornus. Male 8th abdominal tergite reduced dorsally, leaving a sclerotized strip along anterior edge and usually an isolated sclerotized patch in posterior portion. Male genitalia with uncus longer than tegumen, brachia approximately parallel with uncus and about two-thirds its length; valvae elongate with dorsal edge straight or with slight projection; aedeagus adorned with scattered small spines in some species, and with or without cornuti. Female genitalia has 8th tergite reduced to a posterior sclerotized patch about two-thirds width of segment, intersegmental membrane between seventh and eighth abdominal segments only somewhat expandable with no strongly sclerotized plate ventrally, eighth segment with large irregular lateral sclerotized plate extending further dorsally at anterior edge, lamella antevaginalis and antrum unsclerotized, ductus bursae unsclerotized, corpus bursae small, oval and with two narrow sub-parallel signa. Distribution and natural history (Figure 40). Modica gen.n. contains five described species and several undescribed species (Zacca et al., unpublished data), which occur in rainforest from sea level to 1300 m, ranging from southern Mexico to western Ecuador and throughout the Amazon and Guianas to south-eastern Brazil. The genus reaches its peak diversity in the western Amazon, where both sexes may be common throughout the understory of both disturbed and undisturbed forest, with some species also occurring along forest edges and in overgrown, shady plantations. Males of some species perch from 1 to 3 m in the forest understory in the morning and late afternoon, sometimes on hilltops, and both sexes are attracted to rotting fruit (DeVries, 1987; Zacca et al., pers. obs.). Notes on the immature stages of M. myncea comb.n. and M. confusa comb.n. were provided by Singer et al. (1983), with hostplants (natural and in captivity) including Cyperaceae, Palmae, Poaceae and Marantaceae (see also Beccaloni et al., 2008; Singer & Ehrich, 1993). Discussion. The type species for this genus, Euptychia confusa, was described by Staudinger (1884) based on an unstated number of specimens from Chiriquí, Panama, and a lectotype at the MfN was designated by Singer et al. (1983). The female illustrated in Staudinger (1884: pl. 80) agrees with the description, although it was incorrectly labelled as ‘ Euptychia myncea ’. We chose to designate Euptychia confusa as the type species for this genus since DNA barcode data suggest the possibility of cryptic species within Modica myncea comb.n. that remain to be resolved. Although strongly supported by the molecular data, Modica gen.n. lacks any clear morphological synapomorphies and it is thus not surprising that a close relationship among all of its constituent species was unnoticed until recently; M. confusa comb.n., M. myncea comb.n. and M. maripa comb.n. were hitherto placed in Cissia (e.g. Forster, 1964 [under the name Argyreuptychia]; Singer et al., 1983; Lamas, 2004; Brévignon, 2005) and M. fugitiva comb.n. and M. kamel comb.n. were placed in Magneuptychia (Benmesbah et al., 2018; Forster, 1964; Lamas, 2004). As discussed by Zacca, Casagrande, et al. (2018), most species placed in Cissia prior to that paper were presumably considered to be related because of their possession of a yellowish patch on the VFW, but that character is clearly homoplasious, and the Cissia of Lamas (2004) are now placed in six genera in two clades: Cissia, Vanima, Megisto, Modica, Paryphthimoides, and Vareuptychia. Benmesbah et al. (2018) noted that M. myncea comb.n., M. maripa comb.n., M. fugitiva and M. kamel comb.n. were likely closely related, based on morphology and preliminary molecular data, and suggested that a new genus might be needed to accommodate these species. Our phylogenetic analysis failed to strongly resolve the relationships of Modica gen.n. to other clades. These species therefore cannot reasonably be accommodated in any described genus without combining at least five described genera, along with Modica gen.n. and Deltaya gen.n., into a single, large genus of morphologically and ecologically dissimilar species, which would not correspond to any author ’ s prior taxonomic hypothesis.

Occulta Nakahara & Willmott, genus novum. Type species: Euptychia ocnus Butler, 1867, by present designation. Zoobank registration: https://zoobank.org/Nomenclatural Acts/7B2BBC71-C2FC-40B8-A24A-14A986151D85 Systematic placement and diagnosis. Occulta gen.n. is a member of the ‘ Splendeuptychia clade’, and it is rather distantly related to the remainder of the clade. Currently, Occulta gen.n. is modestly supported (SH-aLRT 100, UFB 75) as sister to a large clade including species-rich genera such as Caeruleuptychia, Paryphthimoides, and Splendeuptychia, among others (Figure 10). Based on hybrid enrichment data, Espeland et al. (2019a) recovered Occulta gen.n. (as ‘ Magneuptychia ocnus ’) as sister to ‘ Erichthodes ’ narapa (now Capronnieria narapa comb.n.) and Capronnieria galesus, although with only moderate support (BS and PP>0.75 Occulta gen.n. (Figure 30) resembles some species of Deltaya gen.n. (see Figures 33 and 34 below), but may be distinguished by possessing elongate, ‘smudge-like’ orangish spots with a silver marking in the middle in VHW cells M 2 and M 3, whereas the ocelli in these cells in Deltaya gen.n. are more rounded and have double silver spots encircled by a better defined yellowish ring. Furthermore, the dark ventral discal and postdiscal bands are typically narrower in Occulta gen.n. compared to Deltaya gen.n. species, perhaps with the exception of D. ocypete, whose ventral bands are often narrower in comparison with other closely related species. In particular, in Occulta gen.n. the VHW marginal band is of even width throughout, whereas this band forms a ‘wedge-shaped’ swelling at the tornus in Deltaya gen.n. In addition, Occulta gen.n. possesses a tiny, rather incomplete ocellus in VHW cell Cu 2, which is absent in Deltaya gen.n. The male genitalia also differ between Occulta gen.n. (Figure 31) and the type species of Deltaya gen.n. and close relatives (referred to as ‘core’ Deltaya gen.n.) (Figure 34), at least, by the lack of a developed ‘hump’ on the dorsal margin of the valva, and instead only have a slightly serrated region at the dorsal margin distal of the costa. In lateral view, the costa appears as a narrow plate in Occulta gen.n., whereas the costa appears as a somewhat trapezoidal plate in lateral view in ‘core’ Deltaya gen.n. See description of Deltaya gen.n. below for details about ‘core’ Deltaya gen.n. Etymology. The generic name is a Latin feminine adjective treated as a noun in the nominative singular, ‘occulta’, meaning a ‘hidden’ or ‘secret’ thing, in reference to the former concealment of this taxon within Magneuptychia. The generic name is also coined in alliteration with the species-group name. Description (Figures 30 and 31). Wing pattern and shape as illustrated (Figure 30). Other notable characters include eyes setose; pterothoracic legs dorsally darker, tibia with two principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, in addition to some spines laterally, pair of spurs of similar length at distal end of tibia, first tarsomere with three principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, remaining distal tarsomeres with four principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally. Medium-sized Euptychiina (FW length typically 23 – 26 mm), DFW and DHW of males without obvious androconial scales, but long setiform scales visible in discal cell and adjacent areas, especially extending along inner margin. Male with 8th tergite a narrow stripe at basal side of the eighth abdominal segment, broad weakly sclerotized patch present at posterior side of eighth abdominal segment; genitalia as illustrated (Figure 31); costa appearing as a narrow plate in lateral view; cornuti present, otherwise genitalia as illustrated (Figure 31). Female genitalia (Figure 31) with intersegmental membrane of between seventh and eighth abdominal segment somewhat pleated and expandable with very weak sclerotization ventrally; lamella antevaginalis membranous; eighth segment with irregular lateral sclerotized plate narrowing slightly dorsally; pair of well-defined signa present.

Argentaria Huertas & Willmott, genus novum. Type species — Euptychia itonis Hewitson, 1862, by present designation. Zoobank registration: https://zoobank.org/Nomenclatural Acts/F5A5D4DD-82D3-40AA-BD88-978B9A55AB46 Systematic placement and diagnosis. Argentaria gen.n. is a member of the ‘ Amphidecta clade’, in which its monophyly is strongly supported in all datasets (FULL dataset, SH-aLRT 100, UFB 100, Figure 6). However, its relationships to other members of the clade, which include (among described species) Zischkaia, Amphidecta, ‘ Euptychia ’ ordinata / insignis, and ‘ Pharneuptychia ’ innocentia, are not strongly resolved. The new genus can be distinguished from other Euptychiina by the combination of the following three characters: (a) the VFW has a postdiscal series of ocelli extending from cell 2A-Cu 2 to M 2 -M 1, with these ocelli similar in form and elongate parallel to the wing margin, often with either a linear silvery pupil or double pupils in each cell (Figure 17). In some individuals of A. salvini comb.n., the ocelli are fused into a continuous band and the pupils absent, thus superficially resembling the dark postdiscal band, which surrounds the postdiscal ocelli in other species (e.g. Magneuptychia libye). (b) the VHW has the postdiscal ocellus in cell M 3 -M 2 elongated parallel to the veins, with the silvery pupil divided into two distinct spots, except in A. clementia comb.n., in which the two spots touch or are partly fused (Figure 17). A few other species have an elongated pupil similar to that in A. clementia comb.n., such as Splendeutychia purusana comb.rev. or Nhambikuara furina comb.n. (c) the VHW tornus in cell 2A-Cu 2 has several silver streaks, which appear to represent the pupils of ocelli in both the anterior and posterior half of the cell, with the former often being split into two or elongated and pinched in the middle, while the latter is visible as an additional silver spot in some species (e.g. A. itonis comb.n.) (Figures 18 and 19). Other genera with an elongate ocellus and silver pupil in cell 2A-Cu 2, such as Nhambikuara, have only a single pupil that is not as elongate as in Argentaria gen.n. The genitalia of both sexes (Figure 19) are described below and are broadly like those of a number of other relatively distantly related euptychiine genera (e.g. Amiga, Pseudeuptychia, Scriptor). Notable features include, in the male, the lack of cornuti in the aedeagus (similar to many other euptychiine genera), and in the female, the pleated, expandable intersegmental membrane between the seventh and eighth abdominal segments, antrum and lamella antevaginalis membranous, and small, round corpus bursae with slender, elongate, converging signa. The other two described genera within the ‘ Amphidecta clade’, namely Amphidecta and Zischkaia, each have distinctive male and female genitalia differing in numerous respects from Argentaria gen.n., with these distinctive characters apparently representing generic autapomorphies (Marín et al., 2017; Nakahara, Zacca, et al., 2019; Nakahara pers. obs.). Etymology. The generic name is a feminine Latin noun in the nominative singular, meaning a silver-mine, in reference to the distinctive silver scales arranged as spots on the ventral hindwing and forewing of species in this genus. Description (Figures 17 – 19). Some notable characters include: eyes naked; pterothoracic legs dorsally slightly darker, tibia with two principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, pair of spurs of similar length at distal end of tibia, first tarsomere with three principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, remaining tarsomeres with four principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally. Small to medium-sized Euptychiina (FW length typically 15 – 25 mm), FW triangular and varying from being rather pointed (e.g. A. itonis comb.n.) to more rounded (e.g. A. quadrina comb.n.), HW rounded with margin variably undulating. No strong sexual dimorphism in most species: Dorsal wings dark grey brown, some species with white patches in discal part of DFW, and white patches in basal or discal part of DHW and yellowish or orangish distally, no androconial scales present except in male A. libitina comb.n., which has dark androconial scales lining the DFW cubital vein and basal part of vein Cu 2, and basal part of vein 2A. Ventral wings showing relatively large inter-specific variation in pattern across the genus, with ground colour ranging from dark grey-brown to paler yellowish brown; a dark discal and postdiscal line traversing both wings, ranging from a thin, irregular line to a straight, broad band, which may be absent or scarcely visible in some species; discal area of one or both wings often white to pale yellowish brown, sometimes extending basally or distally beyond postdiscal line; VFW with series of narrow postdiscal ocelli in cells 2A-Cu 2 to M 2 -M 1, elongated parallel to distal margin, usually with pupil present as single silver line or double silver spots, often fused into a broad band, variably surrounded by orange or yellow and in some species a further black border, ocelli variably distinct across species; VHW with a complex array of postdiscal ocelli in cells 2A-Cu 2 to M 1 -Rs, with that in Cu 2 -Cu 1 typically the largest, and, along with that in M 2 -M 1, often the only ocellus to be present as a black spot with a single, double, or further modified silver pupil, remaining ocelli typically lacking black with their silver pupils enlarged into spots or streaks, orange rings around ocelli expanded and fused in all species to form an orange background around the ocelli; silver pupil in cell M 3 -M 2 elongated and pinched in the middle (A. clementia comb.n.) or split into two spots (all other species), and that in cell 2A-Cu 2 similarly pinched or split, often forming three distinct spots in combination with a silver spot presumed to represent a posterior ocellus in that cell; two black submarginal lines parallel to wing margin with pale scaling between them, sometimes pierced by elongate silver pupils of the postdiscal ocelli. Male 8th abdominal tergite reduced dorsally, leaving a sclerotized strip along anterior edge and usually an isolated sclerotized patch in posterior portion, that can be broader (e.g. A. jadea comb.n.) or absent (e.g. A. pagyris comb.n.) in some species. Male genitalia with uncus longer than tegumen, brachia pointing dorsally of uncus or parallel with uncus and ranging from slightly longer than uncus (e.g. A. quadrina comb.n.) to very short/vestigial (e.g. A. kendalli comb.n., A. jadea comb.n., A. clorimena comb.n.); valva usually broadening at distal tip in lateral view, with distal tip sometimes with an inwardly pointing dorsal lobe (e.g. A. itonis, A. clementia, A. quadrina) and sometimes without (e.g. A. libitina comb.n., A. kendalli comb.n., A. clorimena comb.n.); vinculum in most species (but not all, e.g., A. pagyris) elongated above articulation with dorsal base of valva; aedeagus relatively straight and lacking cornuti. Female genitalia showing relatively little inter-specific variation, eighth tergite with small sclerotized posterior patch and thin strip at ventral anterior edge, intersegmental membrane between segments A7 and A8 pleated and expandable with a circular to quadrate sclerotized plate ventrally, eighth segment with large irregular oval lateral sclerotized plate, lamella antevaginalis and antrum unsclerotized, ductus bursae narrow and unsclerotized, corpus bursae small, circular and with two narrow, posteriorly converging signa. Distribution and natural history (Figure 20). Argentaria gen.n. species are found in rainforest and cloudforest from sea level to 2100 m, although the great majority of species are found below 1200 m. Similarly, although the genus occurs throughout the Neotropical region, only a couple of species occur west of the Andes, and the known centre of diversity is in the bamboo-rich forests of the south-western Amazon (Madre de Dios, Peru, and Acre, Brazil), where up to 10 species can be found in sympatry, and to a lesser extent in south-eastern Brazil (Atlantic region). All species occur in close association with bamboos (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Bambuseae), including Guadua and various species of weeping bamboos (unpublished data), and many species are known from only a handful of widely scattered localities, with a number of species still undescribed. The immature stages were recently described for A. quadrina comb.n. by See et al. (2018), which was recorded feeding on the climbing bamboo Rhipidocladum racemiflorum with several other species having been reared in south-eastern Brazil (Freitas, 2022) and Ecuador (Willmott & Hall, unpublished data). Discussion. The type species for this genus, Euptychia itonis, was described by Hewitson (1862) from the ‘Amazon’ based on specimens in his collection and the collection of W. W. Saunders. The underside of a specimen was illustrated in his Figure 3 and it closely matches the three syntypes examined in the NHMUK, in particular in having a thin, broken dark brown postdiscal line in the white area of the VHW, which is unique within the genus to A. itonis comb.n. Butler (1867) placed all of the species included here in Argentaria gen.n. that were described at that time in his Division V, Subdivision 2, which he characterized as having the VHW ocelli represented as silver streaks with a large black tornal ocellus, with his correct recognition of the close relationships of the species in this group reflecting the distinctive VHW pattern of the genus. Weymer (1911) likewise successfully grouped described Argentaria gen.n. species in his ‘Clorimene [sic] group’, which he placed alongside his ‘Doxes group’, which corresponds to Nhambikuara. Forster ’ s (1964) decision to move Argentaria gen.n. species from Euptychia into his newly described genus Splendeuptychia, with type species Euptychia ashna, seems somewhat surprising, since Weymer (1911) evidently did not regard E. ashna as being closely related to the former two groups. Equally puzzling are Forster ’ s (1964) drawings of the male genitalia of A. clementia comb.n. and A. pagyris comb.n. (p. 129, figure 163, 164), which are rather different to specimens we have examined, most notably in showing an aedeagus with cornuti, which was not observed in any dissected Argentaria gen.n. In general, Forster (1964) separated numerous taxa from the genus Euptychia into different genera, based on wing pattern and male genitalia, but he also frequently grouped species by overall appearance. Lamas (2004) followed Forster ’ s arrangement, and retained in Splendeuptychia the species placed here in Argentaria gen.n., but shortly afterwards Murray and Prowell (2005) showed that, based on DNA sequence data, A. itonis comb.n. and S. ashna were distantly related. Subsequent molecular (Espeland et al., 2019a; Peña et al., 2010) and morphological (Huertas, 2014; Marín et al., 2017) phylogenetic studies have corroborated that discovery, including this study, which contains sequence data for all but three of the described species. The relationships of Argentaria gen.n. to other members of the ‘ Amphidecta clade’ are not strongly resolved, but the numerous morphological differences that separate the genus from other genera within the clade, and the fact that its constituent species have universally been recognized as closely related for more than 150 years, support its recognition as a distinct genus.

Trico Nakahara & Espeland, genus novum. Type species — Euptychia tricolor Hewitson, 1850, by present designation. Zoobank registration: https://zoobank.org/Nomenclatural Acts/1EB03CDD-C7B3-4AB0-9920-CC59642A4353 Systematic placement and diagnosis. Trico gen.n. is a member of the so-called ‘ Splendeuptychia clade’, and it is weakly supported as sister to Omacha (SH-aLRT/UFBoot = 52.3/62, Figure 10), with these two taxa being rather distantly related to the remainder of the clade. This genus was not included in Espeland et al. (2019a). Nevertheless, both Trico gen.n. and Omacha are monotypic genera, and both accommodate distinctive euptychiine species that do not resemble each other, or other euptychiine genera. Males of Trico gen.n. are distinguished from virtually all euptychiine species by the combination of their iridescent blue scales covering DHW cells Cu 2 and 2A, which also traverse up along the outer margin towards apex, coupled with orangish area anterior of DHW M 2 (Figures 26 and 27). Although lilac-blue scales are present in a similar area in some male euptychiine species (e.g. Chloreuptychia chlorimene, Lazulina tolumnia comb.n.), these species never possess orangish colouration at the anterior region of DHW. On the other hand, female specimens of Trico gen.n. can closely resemble some euptychiine taxa, perhaps phenotypically being most similar to Satyrotaygetis iris comb.n., despite being distantly related. The male of S. iris is easily distinguished from female specimens of Trico gen.n. by its androconial scales at the distal side of DHW discal cell extending slightly along M 3 and Cu 1, as well as presence of greyish long setiform scales in the discal cell, which are both absent in the female of Trico gen.n. Female specimens of Trico gen.n. are distinguished from females of S. iris comb.n. by having a smoother VHW submarginal band in cell Cu 2, which usually bends inwards in S. iris comb.n. The females of these two taxa can be further distinguished by the membranous lamella antevaginalis of specimens of Trico gen.n. (Figure 28c; sclerotized in S. iris) and ductus seminalis exiting from the ductus bursae closer to the corpus bursae in specimens of Trico gen.n. (Figure 28d; origin of ductus bursae close to ostium bursae in S. iris comb.n.). Etymology. The generic name is based on the Latin word ‘trico’, which is a masculine noun in the nominative singular, meaning ‘mischief-maker’ or ‘trickster’, in reference to the remarkable sexual dimorphism of this species. Description (Figures 26 – 28). Some notable characters include: eyes naked; pterothoracic legs dorsally darker, tibia with two principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, pair of short spurs of similar length at distal end of tibia, first tarsomere with three principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally until distal end, distal end of first tarsomere and remaining distal tarsomeres with four principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally. Medium-sized Euptychiina (FW length typically 21 – 25 mm). Sexes dimorphic. Male: DHW with light yellowish long hair-like scales at base of discal cell, somewhat at posterior edge of orangish area; greyish long hair-like scales visible in cell Cu 2, area between postdiscal band and submarginal band, along 2A; greyish androconial patch present in adjacent area of cell 2A in male, otherwise wing shape and pattern as illustrated (Figures 26 and 27). Male genitalia with cornuti absent, otherwise as illustrated (Figure 28). Female: DFW and DHW with purple lilac sheen; otherwise as illustrated (Figures 26 and 27). Female abdomen with intersegmental membrane of 7th and 8th abdominal segment not pleated and expandable (Figure 28); genitalia with lamella antevaginalis membranous; ductus bursae membranous, pair of signa present on corpus bursae.

Cyllopsis clade The ‘ Cyllopsis clade’ was recognized in Espeland et al. (2019a), where it was placed as a strongly supported sister group to a much larger clade including major, species-rich clades such as the ‘ Splendeuptychia clade’, ‘ Taygetis clade’, ‘ Megisto clade’, ‘ Pareuptychia clade’. The clade was similarly recovered in previous molecular phylogenetic studies (Murray & Prowell, 2005; Nakahara, Janzen, et al., 2015; Peña et al., 2010), and in the recent study of Rosa et al. (2021). Currently, four genera are recognized in the ‘ Cyllopsis clade’, namely Cyllopsis (30 species), Paramacera (5 species), Inbio (monotypic) and Atlanteuptychia (monotypic), and our molecular data suggest further taxonomic changes at the generic level are not needed (Figures 3, S 2 and S 3). The relationships between all genera are stable and well-supported in all analyses, with Atlanteuptychia being sister to the remainder of the clade, Inbio being sister to Paramacera, and these two again being sister to Cyllopsis. Thus, the generic classification is perhaps the most stable in comparison with other clades in the subtribe that contain multiple genera. Based on our unpublished data, the only known undescribed species within this clade are in Cyllopsis. Only two Cyllopsis species have been described more recently, including the unique Cyllopsis emilia, which appears to be one of the few euptychiine species that may be involved in mimicry with Pieridae butterflies (Chacon & Nishida,2002; Warren et al., 2018). Conversely, there are likely several currently recognized Cyllopsis species that may represent seasonal forms, so some revision to the species taxonomy is likely needed (Warren, unpublished data). Members of the ‘ Cyllopsis clade’ are relatively small butterflies, with the forewing length of most species not exceeding 25 mm. Possible synapomorphies (not unique) and distinctive characters for the clade include the following: (a) brachia short (about half of uncus in length or shorter),described as ‘not freely articulated’ in Miller (1974); (b) smooth vesica lacking obvious sclerotized cornuti. Unlike other clades in the subtribe, members of the ‘ Cyllopsis clade’ are most diverse in Central America, especially in southern Mexico and Guatemala. In fact, the monotypic genus Atlanteuptychia is the only taxon in this clade found east of the Andes, namely from the Atlantic Forest of Brazil (Freitas et al., 2013), resulting in a disjunct distribution for the clade. Habitat preferences of species in this clade range from lowland rainforest to cloud forest at over 2000 m, with Cyllopsis being one of only three Euptychiina genera to have diversified extensively in montane regions (the others are Forsterinaria and Moneuptychia). The immature stages have been described for Inbio hilara feeding on Rhipidocladum (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Bambuseae) (Nakahara,Janzen, et al., 2015), and various Cyllopsis species have been reported feeding on bamboo and other grass genera (Beccaloni et al., 2008), but otherwise there are few comprehensive, detailed descriptions or hostplant records for most species in the clade., Published as part of Espeland, Marianne, Nakahara, Shinichi, Zacca, Thamara, Barbosa, Eduardo P., Huertas, Blanca, Marín, Mario A., Lamas, Gerardo, Benmesbah, Mohamed, Brévignon, Christian, Casagrande, Mirna M., Fåhraeus, Christer, Grishin, Nick, Kawahara, Akito Y., Mielke, Olaf H.

Deltaya Willmott, Nakahara & Espeland, genus novum. Type species — Papilio ocypete Fabricius, [1777], by pre- sent designation. Zoobank registration: https://zoobank.org/Nomenclatural Acts/C5441C63-9631-4E9D-A37F-6ED27676D185 Systematic placement and diagnosis. Deltaya gen.n. is a member of the ‘ Splendeuptychia clade’ (Figure 10), and three of its four ‘core’ described species, Deltaya ocypete comb.n, Deltaya louisammour comb.n and Deltaya opima comb.n. (Figures 33 and 34), form a clade with low support (FULL dataset SH-aLRT = 67.9, UFB = 53). Deltaya pallema comb.n. is closely related to D. ocypete and is also considered a ‘core’ species (Benmesbah et al., 2018). Two species are placed with some support as forming a grade sister to this clade (SHaLRT = 85.4, UFB = 83) and are included here within the genus (Deltaya andrei comb.n. and Deltaya probata comb.n, see Discussion below). Within the ‘ Splendeuptychia clade’, Deltaya gen.n. is a member of the same clade as Modica gen.n., Paryphthimoides, Colombeia, Scriptor, and Malaveria, with it being placed as sister to Scriptor (SHaLRT = 98.3, UFB = 61), but none of the nodes connecting these genera have strong support. Deltaya gen.n. lacks obvious morphological synapomorphies, but the following are somewhat distinctive characters within Euptychiina (shared variously with other genera) on the ventral wings (Figures 33 and 34): relatively broad dark transverse discal bands; the presence of only five relatively large postdiscal VHW ocelli, with each ocellus having two pupils, which are small dots (in cells Cu 2 -Cu 1, M 2 - M 1) or elongate and large (in cells Cu 1 - M 3, M 3 - M 2, M 1 -Rs), and the postdiscal ocelli on both wings lying within a broad darker band (umbra). Overall, the genus is best distinguished from phenotypically similar genera by the pale pupils of the HW ocellus in cell Cu 2 -Cu 1 not being visible on the dorsal surface, by the VHW postdiscal ocelli in cells Cu 1 -M 3 and M 3 -M 2 being of similar size, round (not elongate) and each containing two enlarged, elongated silver pupils (when the ocelli are large enough for the pupils to be visible), and by the marginal line widening in the VHW tornus. This last character also occurs in Scriptor, some Paryphthimoides, and some other Euptychiina (e.g. Vanima labe, Vanima palladia), but is otherwise a relatively uncommon character. Characters that differ among the genera within the clade in which Deltaya gen.n. is placed are summarized in Table 1. The genitalia of both sexes are described below and there are no obvious synapomorphies for the genus as a whole. However, ‘core’ Deltaya gen.n. (Figure 35) share several distinctive characters, including: (a) the aedeagus has two relatively long and broad rectangular patches of cornuti (smaller or no patches in other species). (b) in the female, the anterior half of the 8th tergite is weakly sclerotized and the intersegmental membrane between the 7th and 8th segments is pleated and expandable; (c) the ventral portion of the intersegmental membrane between the 7th and 8th segments bears a sclerotized plate similar to the 7th sternite; (d) a sclerotized rectangular lamella antevaginalis extending horizontally and fused with the lateral plate of the 8th abdominal segment is present (as noted by Nakahara, Kleckner, et al., 2020). Etymology. The generic name is derived from the name of the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet, delta, whose triangular upper-case symbol is the source of the word used in multiple languages to describe the broadening of a river at its mouth. The name is treated as a feminine noun in the nominative singular, and refers to the broadening VHW marginal line at the tornus that distinguishes Deltaya species from a number of other similar species. Description (Figures 33 – 35). Some notable characters include: eyes setose; pterothoracic legs dorsally slightly darker, tibia with two principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, pair of spurs of similar length at distal end of tibia, first tarsomere with three principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, remaining tarsomeres with four principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally. Medium-sized Euptychiina (FW length typically 19 – 25 mm), FW triangular and rather rounded at apex, HW rounded. No strong sexual dimorphism: Dorsal wings dark brown to blue-grey, pale pupils of ocellus in Cu 2 -Cu 1 not visible on DHW, no androconial scales present. Ventral wings blue-grey to brownish grey; relatively broad, dark brown to reddish brown discal and postdiscal lines traversing both wings; VFW with three postdiscal ocelli in cells Cu 1 -M 3, M 3 -M 2, M 2 -M 1, anterior ocellus more clearly marked than remainder, lying within a broad dark brown band (umbra); VHW similar to VFW but with five postdiscal ocelli between veins Cu 2 and Rs, those in Cu 2 -Cu 1 and M 2 -M 1 typically slightly larger, black-centred with two silver dots in each ocellus as pupils, ocelli in M 1 -Rs similar but much smaller, and those in Cu 1 -M 2 with dark brown centres and elongate silver pupils; marginal line thin and even throughout (except rather broad throughout in D. probata comb.n.), thickening noticeably at tornus. Male eighth abdominal tergite reduced dorsally, leaving a sclerotized strip along anterior edge and no or an isolated weakly sclerotized patch in posterior portion. Male genitalia with uncus longer than tegumen, brachia pointing slightly dorsally of uncus and about two-thirds its length; valvae elongate with dorsal edge straight or (‘core’ Deltaya gen.n.) with projection near distal tip covered with tiny spines; aedeagus lacking cornuti but with tiny spines scattered dorsally in D. probata comb.n. and D. andrei comb.n., and with cornuti in ‘core’ Deltaya gen.n. forming two relatively broad and long rectangular patches of tiny spines; intersegmental membrane between eighth segment and genitalic capsule in D. andrei comb.n. forms a ventro-lateral, eversible ‘pocket’ containing dense, long, black scales. Female genitalia has eighth tergite reduced to a posterior sclerotized patch about one- to two-thirds width of segment, eighth segment with large irregular lateral sclerotized plate extending broadening dorsally and with indentation at dorsal edge, antrum unsclerotized, ductus bursae unsclerotized, corpus bursae small, oval and with two narrow sub-parallel signa. ‘Core’ Deltaya gen. n. have additional characters described above under Diagnosis. Distribution and natural history (Figure 36). Deltaya gen.n. contains six described species and probably several undescribed species, which occur in rainforest from sea level to 1400 m and are confined to South America east of the Andes. The genus reaches its peak diversity in the central and western Amazon, where both sexes are typically uncommon in the understory of both disturbed and undisturbed forest, except for D. ocypete comb.n., which may also be locally common in secondary habitats, including in the drier interandean valleys and extra-Amazonian regions from Bolivia across to south-eastern Brazil. Deltaya gen.n. species have also been recorded in fruit-baited traps (Benmesbah et al., 2018; Oliveira et al., 2021; Zacca, Casagrande, et al., 2017). The immature stages have not been described for any species to date, and while there are records of Cyperaceae and Poaceae as hostplants of D. ocypete comb.n. (Singer & Ehrich, 1993), these require confirmation given prior confusion over the identification of this species. Discussion. Benmesbah et al. (2018) discussed in detail the taxonomic history of the type species of this genus, Papilio ocypete, and designated a specimen with a DNA barcode as the neotype. This species and three other described species, D. opima comb.n., D. louisammour comb.n. and D. pallema comb.n., form a clade based on DNA sequences (‘core’ Deltaya gen. n. ), and share several morphological synapomorphies. All these species were previously placed in Magneuptychia by Lamas (2004), but, for the same reasons as discussed under Modica gen.n., they cannot reasonably be accommodated in any described genus, except perhaps Scriptor. Nevertheless, monophyly with Scriptor is only weakly supported in our results, and we thus believe that description of a new genus is the best solution. As mentioned above under Systematic Placement and Diagnosis, we also provisionally include two species in Deltaya that are weakly supported based on molecular data as members of the same clade as ‘core’ Deltaya gen.n., namely D. probata comb.n. (Figure 34d) and D. andrei comb.n. (Figure 34c). Although both species share some wing pattern and genitalic similarities with ‘core’ Deltaya gen. n. , none of these are convincing synapomorphies for Deltaya gen.n. Deltaya andrei comb.n. has a very distinctive autapomorphy, namely a pocket of dense black scales adjacent to the valvae in the male genitalia, while the wing pattern of D. probata comb.n. is rather different from the remaining Deltaya species, with a VHW marginal line that is thickened throughout. Only COI sequences are available for D. probata comb.n., and COI + RPS5 for D. andrei comb.n., and more complete molecular data for both species and other members of the ‘ Splendeuptychia clade’ are therefore needed to confirm the generic classification of D. andrei and D. probata.

Types: ST male, ‘ LECTOTYPE ♂ Euptychia libye f. gracilis Weymer, 1911 By G. Lamas (‘94//Pebas//Libye - Forma// libyoidea Btlr’), (SMTD) (figured in Warren et al., 2022, examined). Taxonomy. Butler (1867, p. 467) described this species from Brazil, based on an unspecified number of specimens from Tapaj́os, in Bates ’ s collection, and ‘Villa Nova’, in the NHMUK. The original description closely matches two female syntypes in the NHMUK from Tapajos ́and Villa Nova, in particular in describing the five main ocelli in the VHW as comprising three that are encircled with yellow and each having two pupils, and the remaining two as being yellow with a central silver line. Weymer (1911, p. 212, pl. 48f) described Euptychia libye f. gracilis based on an unspecified number of specimens from Pebas, Peru, in the collection of Bang-Haas, and the figure of the ventral surface corresponds with the specimen labelled as lectotype by Lamas in the SMTD. In comparison with the two syntypes of ocnus, this specimen is somewhat paler, and it has a distinct rather than vestigial ocellus in 2A-Cu2 on the VHW, but the remaining VHW ocelli and other wing pattern characters are otherwise typical of this species as here defined. Distribution and natural history (Figure 32). Occulta ocnus gen.n. and comb.n. is known to date from the central Amazon basin, with all recorded localities being in the vicinity of large rivers below 250 m. A list of specimens examined is provided in Table S3. The only two records from Ecuador are from the region of black-water rivers and lakes north of the Río Napo; at Zancudococha, a male was collected flying near to the ground at the edge of forest and small field, on a low ridge, at 13:00 hrs. Immature stages have not been described. A list of specimens examined is provided in Appendix B. Discussion. Occulta gen.n. is described as a monotypic genus for Euptychia ocnus based on molecular data presented here. As previously indicated by Espeland et al. (2019a), Euptychia ocnus is distantly related to the type species of Magneuptychia, Papilio libye Linnaeus, 1767. Although Papilio libye is a member of the clade to which Occulta gen.n. is weakly supported as belonging, expanding the concept of Magneuptychia to include Euptychia ocnus would be unreasonable, for a number of reasons. First, the support for its relationship with the clade containing Papilio libye is low. Second, and perhaps more importantly, such a broad generic classification would be inconsistent with current approaches to building a stable and informative generic classification for the Euptychiina, where monophyly, phenotype and ecological information are incorporated in deciding on the most appropriate taxonomy (e.g. Nakahara, Lamas, et al., 2019). This clade not only includes both widespread lowland taxa (e.g. Magneuptychia libye) and rather narrowly distributed montane species (e.g. undescribed Splendeuptychia species), but also some of the most colourful euptychiine species in the genus Caeruleuptychia. Given that generic names should ideally be informative for the recognition of clades by including species with similar phenotypes, in addition to having potential value in predicting unknown biological traits, we refute the idea of a broad generic classification to include all these taxa contained within the clade containing E. ocnus, and instead establish a monotypic genus for this species.

Taguaiba Freitas, Zacca & Siewert genus novum. Type species — Taygetis drogoni Siewert, Zacca et al., 2013, by present designation. Zoobank registration: https://zoobank.org/Nomenclatural Acts/A1AE37F3-5212-453C-AADD-A87F452EFA5D Systematic placement and diagnosis. Taguaiba gen.n. is a mem-ber of the ‘ Taygetis clade’, where it is sister to a clade containing Pseudodebis + Taygetis (Figure 7, FULL dataset, SH-aLRT 100, UFB 98). Species of Taguaiba gen.n. resemble species of Pseudodebis in wing pattern, but can be distinguished from the latter by: (a) the acute apex of the FW in cell R 3 -R 4 (Figure 21), which is rounded in Pseudodebis, although this character is somewhat variable in some species, for example, T. servius comb.n.; (b) the male genitalia of Taguaiba gen. n. species have elongated brachia directed upwards and no cornuti on the vesica (brachia are short and cornuti are present in Pseudodebis — see illustrations in Siewert et al. [2013] and Forster [1964, pp. 76 – 77]); (c) the female genitalia have the lamella antevaginalis fused to the lamella post-vaginalis, forming a sclerotized sterigma that can exhibit lateral projections (in T. drogoni comb.n., T. ypthima comb.n. and T. fulginia comb.n.), a ductus bursae that is sclerotized in the posterior region, and a well-developed corpus bursae with the paired signa occupying the entire bursae. Etymology. The generic name is based on that of the Taguaîba, an evil spirit from the mythology of the Brazilian indigenous people Tupinambá (Métraux, 1950), whose original distribution includes the core distribution of the species of this new genus. Taguaiba should be treated as a neuter noun in the nominative singular. Description (Figure 21). Some notable characters include the following: Eyes naked; pterothoracic legs dorsally slightly darker, tibia with two principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, pair of spurs of similar length at distal end of tibia, first tarsomere with three principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, remaining tarsomeres with four principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally. Large Euptychiina (FW length typically 32 – 38 mm), FW with apex acute in cell R 3 -R 4. No strong sexual dimorphism: VFW with four small circular ocelli from R 4 -Cu 1, each with a well-marked white pupil, and wide brown sub-basal line inside the discal cell; VHW with five ocelli from Rs-Cu 2, each with a well-marked white pupil, and a narrow brown sub-basal line from costal to anal margin. Males with androconial scales on DFW and DHW. Male genitalia with a pair of elongated brachia directed upwards with or without ventral projection at base, apex of valvae serrated or hook-like, saccus cylindrical and elongated, vesica without cornuti (see illustrations in Siewert et al., 2013, p. 23, figure 6). Female genitalia with a sclerotized sterigma with or without lateral projections, ductus bursae sclerotized at the posterior region and corpus bursae well developed with the paired signa occupying the entire bursae (see illustrations in Siewert et al., 2013, p. 24, figure 7). Distribution and natural history (Figure 22). Siewert et al. (2013) summarized the distribution (also shown here in Figure 22), biology and taxonomic history of members of this genus. Discussion. Using DNA barcodes and up to three nuclear genes of 52 species within the ‘ Taygetis clade’ plus seven euptychiine out-groups, Matos-Maraví et al. (2013) proposed the exclusion of T. ypthima and T. rectifascia from Taygetis and indicated that a new genus should be described to contain both species; that genus is described here as Taguaiba gen.n. The morphology of this group of species was subsequently described (Siewert et al., 2013). Taguaiba ypthima comb.n. and Taguaiba rectifascia comb.n. also share morphological similarities in their wing pattern elements, venation and male and female genitalia (see illustrations in Siewert et al., 2013), which are shared with Taguaiba drogoni comb.n., Taguaiba fulginia comb.n. and Taguaiba servius comb.n, all placed in the ‘ Taygetis ypthima species group’ by Siewert et al. (2013). In our study, the ‘ T. ypthima species group’ and respective subgroups as proposed in Siewert et al. (2013) were recovered as monophyletic with the following relationships: ([T. drogoni comb.n. + T. ypthima comb.n.] [T. rectifascia comb. n. + T. fulginia comb.n.]). Currently, T. servius comb.n. is only known from old collection specimens, which has so far precluded the obtaining of DNA sequences. The inclusion of T. servius comb.n. in Taguaiba gen.n. is thus based on morphology and should be tested in future studies. In the study of Matos-Maraví et al. (2013) study, T. ypthima comb.n. and T. rectifascia comb.n. were sister to Pseudodebis. This relationship was not recovered in our study, in which species of Taguaiba gen.n. appear stably as sister to a clade containing Pseudodebis + Taygetis (Figure 7, FULL dataset, SH-aLRT 100, UFB 98).

Lazulina Willmott, Nakahara & Espeland, genus novum. Type species — Euptychia hewitsonii Butler, 1867, by present designation. Zoobank registration: https://zoobank.org/Nomenclatural Acts/2F9B7D53-51B3-4A62-B5F1-AE2312CD4163 Systematic placement and diagnosis. Lazulina gen.n. is wellsupported as monophyletic (SH-aLRT = 100, UFB = 100), but only moderately supported as sister to Cristalinaia (SH-aLRT = 89.2, UFB = 90), with the clade containing these two genera placed without strong support as sister to the Hermeuptychia clade. The new genus can be distinguished from all other Euptychiina by a rather large number of distinctive possible synapomorphies in the male, including: (a) a dark band of androconial scales just posterior of the cubital vein on the DFW extends from 2A-Cu 2 into Cu 1 -M 3, with associated modified scales (Figure 11a – c; see Description below for details). (b) an elongate cluster of long, hair-like scales (‘hair-pencil’) is located near the HW base in cell 3A-2A, the distal tip of which covers an elongate, oval patch of modified scales surrounding vein 2A (Figure 11a,c). A more elongate patch of somewhat similar androconial scales is present in HW cell 2A-Cu 2 in Atlanteuptychia (Freitas et al., 2013). (c) the basal half of HW vein 2A is bowed outwards, towards the adjacent ‘hair-pencil’ (Figure 11). (d) Fourth and fifth sternites of the male abdomen are reduced to a small, sclerotized band at the anterior edge of each segment, with the remainder of each segment forming a flexible pocket that contains dense black elongate rectangular androconial scales, which clearly stand out beyond the ventral abdominal edge in lateral view (Figure 11g). Similar scales are present dorsally on the terminal two abdominal segments of Atlanteuptychia (Freitas et al., 2013). A further possibly distinctive character is the reduction of the middle of FW vein M 2 -M 3, and numerous other characters distinguish the genus from its possible sister genus, the highly autapomorphic Cristalinaia (see Freitas, Mota, Zacca, & Barbosa, 2019). Overall, the iridescent blue dorsal wing colour of Lazulina gen.n. species readily distinguishes them from most euptychiines, except for females in comparison with several species of Chloreuptychia and Pseudeuptychia. Lazulina gen.n. can be distinguished by the presence of yellowish or reddish brown scaling within the dark band posterior of the VFW apical ocellus, and by the VHW ocellus in M 3 -M 2 being basally displaced in comparison with that in M 2 -M 1. Etymology. The generic name is a feminine noun in the nominative singular, derived from the Latin adjective ‘lazulinus’, meaning something that is blue, in reference to the distinctive blue dorsal wing markings of this genus. Description (Figures 11 and 12). Some notable characters include: eyes naked; pterothoracic legs dorsally darker, tibia with two principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, pair of spurs of similar length at distal end of tibia, first tarsomere with three principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, remaining tarsomeres with four principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally. Small Euptychiina (FW length typically 17 – 21 mm), FW triangular and somewhat elongate, HW margin not scalloped, slightly angled at end of vein Cu 1 and slightly elongated towards tornus. Sexes dimorphic, dorsal wings dark brown: Male: HW with iridescent blue to purple scaling at least in posterior half, to covering most of wing, L. hewitsonii comb.n. partially translucent pale greyish in HW discal cell and with iridescent blue scaling along anal margin and distal margin of FW; middle of FW with complex configuration of androconial scales, comprising long hair-like scales in posterior third of discal cell, which appear to be ‘swept-back’ towards cubital vein, cubital vein bordered posteriorly by a band of broad, short, rectangular pale brown scales sparsely covered with long hair-like scales, then a band of dense, dark androconial scales that are attenuated towards tip then terminate in a curved, brush-like structure; 8th abdominal tergite reduced dorsally, leaving a sclerotized strip along anterior edge; genitalia with downwardly curving uncus longer than tegumen, brachia short and pointing ventrally of uncus, valva ventral edge distinctly angled in middle, terminating in blunt tip; saccus short (similar in length to tegumen); aedeagus short, anterior portion opening dorso-anteriorly (rather than dorsally) and slightly flared in dorsal view, with two narrow bands of cornuti. Female: lacking androconial scales, with faint purplish blue iridescence over both wings or HW only, not extending to distal margins. Ventral wings with ground colour ranging from brown to silvery grey; dark reddish brown discal and postdiscal lines traversing both wings, discal line angled inwards at HW anal margin, postdiscal line displaced towards tornus in cell 2A-Cu 2; VFW with a single subapical ocellus in cell M 2 -M 1, black with a yellow ring and 1 – 2 silvery elongate pupils (when 2 pupils are present they unite to form a ‘C’-shape), placed within a broad, dark brown postdiscal band (umbra); posterior of ocellus, VFW umbra has dark orange-brown scaling or yellowish brown scaling, in some species bordered basally by a pale purplish band; two dark marginal lines, straight and parallel to wing margin; VHW has five postdiscal ocelli as follows: In Cu 2 -Cu 1, largest ocellus, black with yellow border that extends into adjacent cells, with two elongate silver dashes as pupils; in Cu 1 -M 3, elongate brown ocellus with yellow border that may be absent distally, with large central elongate silver pupil; in M 3 -M 2, similar to preceding but smaller and displaced basally; in M 2 -M 1, black ocellus with yellow ring filling cell, two silver pupils united to form distally pointing ‘C’-shape; in M 1 -Rs, similar to preceding but smaller; ocelli bordered distally by dark brown, especially distal of smaller ocelli, then pale purplish surrounding two dark marginal lines which become gradually thicker and more reddish towards tornus; genitalia with each sternite reduced posteriorly; eighth tergite reduced to small sclerotized posterior patch, intersegmental membrane between seventh and eighth abdominal segments somewhat pleated and expandable with an oval sclerotized plate ventrally, eighth segment with large irregular lateral sclerotized plate, lamella antevaginalis and antrum unsclerotized, ductus bursae narrow and unsclerotized, corpus bursae small, circular and with two narrow signa. Distribution and natural history (Figure 13). Lazulina gen.n. species occur from sea level to 1200 m in the Amazon, Guianas and Trinidad, with the highest local diversity occurring in the upper Amazon. All species are found in the understory of disturbed to primary rainforest, often near forest edges at rivers, streams or palm swamps, where they typically occur as solitary individuals. There is no published information on the hostplants or immature stages, although some data on the immature stages of L. tolumnia comb.n. are provided in Murray ’ s (2001b) unpublished dissertation. Discussion. Butler (1867) described the type species for this genus, Euptychia hewitsonii, based on both male and female specimens, from Pará (Brazil), then in the collections of Bates, Salvin, Hewitson and the ‘B[ritish].M[useum].’ (now NHMUK), along with a male or males from Ega (now Tefé, Brazil), then in the last of these collections. The description is detailed, notably mentioning the somewhat translucent basal area of the wings that are distinctive to this species, and the ventral surface of a male was illustrated on pl. 40, Figure 4. A syntype in the NHMUK was examined and matches the original illustration. The three described species placed here in Lazulina gen.n were placed until now in Chloreuptychia (Forster, 1964; Lamas, 2004), a genus now split into four genera in four clades (e.g. Nakahara, Lamas, et al., 2019; this publication). However, Weymer (Weymer, 1911, p. 220) placed the three described Lazulina species in a distinct ‘Tolumnia Group’, correctly noting that males of these species shared a band of androconial scales just posterior of the discal cell on the DFW. Forster (1964, p. 121) used this character in his key to separate out these three species, but nevertheless grouped them with other unrelated ‘blue’ species in his new genus Chloreuptychia. The molecular analysis here shows that Lazulina gen.n. are not closely related to any species formerly included in Chloreuptychia, and indeed the relationships of this highly distinctive genus are still not confidently known. There are a number of remarkably similar structures in Lazulina gen.n. and Atlanteuptychia, including androconial scales in the middle of the DFW, a DHW androconial ‘hair-pencil’, and dense black androconial scales on the male abdomen. Nevertheless, differences in the morphology and position of the androconial structures support independent derivation, the female genitalia and wing patterns show no particular similarity, and molecular data, based on multiple individuals of each genus, indicate that these are not closely related genera, placing them in distinct clades.

Euptychia Euptychia is strongly supported as a sister to the remainder of the subtribe (Figures 2, S 2 and S 3) as also found in Espeland et al. (2019a). The systematic placement of Euptychia has been unstable in previous phylogenetic studies (Murray & Prowell, 2005; Peña et al., 2010, 2011). Currently, 37 valid species are recognized (Fratello et al., 2015; Freitas, Wahlberg, et al., 2012; Nakahara et al., 2014, 2017; Nakahara, Hall, et al., 2015; Nakahara, Janzen, et al., 2015; Nakahara, Llorente-Bousquets, et al., 2015; Nakahara, Vega, & Willmott, 2016; Neild et al., 2014, 2015). Only a subset of species was included here, and several taxonomic changes, in addition to the description of over a dozen species, will be made in a forthcoming revision of the genus, and thus the genus is estimated to include more than 50 species (Nakahara et al., in preparation). Members of Euptychia are relatively small for the subtribe, with the forewing length often less than 20 mm. Except for a few species, they have sexually monomorphic wing patterns often marked prominently with ventral bands and submarginal eyespots and many species exhibit translucence. Possible synapomorphies and/or distinctive characters for Euptychia include the following: (a) Third segment of labial palpi shorter than one-fourth of second segment in length; (b) absence of tibial spurs in midleg and hindleg; (c) absence of lateral spines on tibia; (d) presence of the forewing recurrent vein in the discal cell; (e) absence of basal swelling of the forewing cubital vein; (f) humeral vein relatively reduced in comparison with other Euptychiina; (g) developed male eighth tergite and sternite; (h) presence of the sclerotized region of the eighth abdominal segment in the female, located at the very basal side of the eighth abdominal segment; (i) absence of the lateral sclerotization of the 8th abdominal segment of the female; (j) origin of the ductus seminalis at the posterior end of the ductus bursae In fact, many of these characters are unique to Euptychia (Nakahara, unpublished data), highlighting the distinctiveness of this lineage within the subtribe. Members of Euptychia range from north-western Mexico to south-eastern Brazil, and somewhat unusually for the subtribe, the genus appears to be more diverse in lower montane regions and adjacent lowlands than in lowland forest far from mountains. Adult males of some species exhibit perching behaviour, often with several individuals in close proximity, mostly in light gaps or sunflecks and often on hilltops. Although most known host plants for Euptychiina are either bamboo or other grasses in the family Poaceae, larvae of Euptychia notably feed instead on some species of Selaginella (Lycopsida), as well as a single record utilizing Neckeropsis (Neckeraceae) (Brévignon, 2008; Freitas, Mota, Barbosa, & Carreira, 2019; Hamm & Fordyce, 2016; Singer et al., 1971; Singer & Mallet, 1986).

Archeuptychia clade The ‘ Archeuptychia clade’ is a relatively small clade recognized in Espeland et al. (2019a), and that work showed its placement as a weakly supported sister group to the much larger ‘ Splendeuptychia clade’, which is also found in the extended backbone tree in this study (Figure S 1). In the FULL dataset it is, however, weakly supported as sister to a clade including Chloreuptychia and the Pareuptychia clade (Figure S 2), while in the 4GENES dataset (Figure S 3) it is sister to Chloreuptychia, and these two again are sister to the ‘ Splendeuptychia clade’. Previous molecular phylogenetic studies only sampled a few representatives and thus did not result in recognition of this clade (Marín et al., 2017; Murray & Prowell, 2005) or subsumed it within the ‘ Pareuptychia clade’ (Peña et al., 2010), but close relationships among Archeuptychia, species placed here in Pseudeuptychia, Chloreuptychia and Cisandina were variously implied in these studies. The clade (Figure 8) currently includes 16 described species and at least three undescribed species. Currently, four genera, Pseudeuptychia (seven species), Archeuptychia (monotypic), Cisandina (seven species) and Stephenympha (three species) are recognized in the clade. The two sampled Stephenympha species are here found to be sister groups, with some support in the best trees (FULL 90/91, 4 GENES 90.2/88), and are well-supported as members of the ‘ Archeuptychia clade’, but their exact placement within the clade needs to be investigated, since support of relationships within the group are rather low (Figure 8). Here, we provisionally move four species to Pseudeuptychia (comb.n.) that were placed in Chloreuptychia prior to this study, since these species form a strongly supported clade that contains Euptychia languida Butler, 1871, the type of Pseudeuptychia, but that excludes Papilio chloris Cramer, 1780, the type species of Chloreuptychia (Marín et al., 2017; Nakahara et al., in preparation). We do not know of any taxonomic issues surrounding Archeuptychia, and thus this monotypic genus does not require study at present. Members of the ‘ Archeuptychia clade’ are small to medium-sized butterflies, all rather typical of euptychiines in terms of size. However, unlike most other euptychiine groups, the clade harbours some of the more ‘showy’ euptychiines, with many species bearing iridescent blue or green dorsal and/or ventral coloration. Possible synapomorphies and distinctive characters for the clade include the following: (a) lamella antevaginalis at least somewhat sclerotized (the degree of sclerotization is apparently variable, ranging from a rather weakly sclerotized plate in species such as Pseudeuptychia herseis comb.n., to a more heavily sclerotized plate in species such as Archeuptychia cluena). The male genitalia of species in Cisandina show some interesting features, such as a sclerotized portion of the manica extending from the phallobase, a character not observed in other euptychiines. Stephenympha eriphule has a uniformly sclerotized eighth tergite, which is an unusual feature for euptychiines otherwise known only for species in the genus Euptychia. However, a similar form of the eighth tergite is observed in Cristalinaia and species in Amphidecta, but the eighth tergite of these species appears to have a membranous portion in the middle, thus not being uniformly sclerotized. Members of the ‘ Archeuptychia clade’ are known exclusively from east of the Andes, except for Pseudeuptychia hemileuca, which is still known only from a single syntype, that was reportedly collected in western Colombia. Some species are confined to cloud forest along the slopes of the eastern Andes, while the majority of species occur in lowland rainforest from the Amazon basin and/or Guianas, with a few species found in the Atlantic coastal forest of Brazil. Information on the early stage biology for species in the ‘ Archeuptychia clade’ is limited, like many other major euptychiine clades, but the immature stages of Pseudeuptychia marica comb.n. and two species of Cisandina were recently described, with caterpillars feeding on the herbaceous bamboo genera Pariana, Olyra and Taquara (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Olyreae) (Nakahara, Rodríguez-Melgarejo, et al., 2022; Tejeira et al., 2021), and additional data will soon be published (Corahua-Espinoza et al., in preparation)., Published as part of Espeland, Marianne, Nakahara, Shinichi, Zacca, Thamara, Barbosa, Eduardo P., Huertas, Blanca, Marín, Mario A., Lamas, Gerardo, Benmesbah, Mohamed, Brévignon, Christian, Casagrande, Mirna M., Fåhraeus, Christer, Grishin, Nick, Kawahara, Akito Y., Mielke, Olaf H.

Megisto clade The ‘Megisto clade’ currently comprises 10 genera, Megisto (with 2 species), Pharneuptychia (5 species, in addition to ‘ Pharneuptychia ’ innocentia in the ‘ Amphidecta clade’), Moneuptychia (11 species), Graphita (1 species), Stegosatyrus (4 species), Koutalina (1 species), Cissia (10 species), Carminda (4 species), Vanima (3 species) and Yphthimoides (21 species). The relationships between genera in our analyses (Figures 4, S 2 and S 3) match those of previous molecular studies (Murray & Prowell, 2005; Peña et al., 2010) and are stable, with the exception of the placement of the genus Koutalina. In the best FULL tree Koutalina is found as sister to the remainder of the clade, except Megisto, but is placed deeper within the clade as sister to Graphita in the second best FULL tree, and as sister to Moneuptychia + Pharneuptychia in the best 4GENES tree. This genus was not included in the backbone tree, and only COI sequences are available for the included samples, which likely explains the instability of this taxon. The recently described Yphthimoides kinyoni (Nakahara, Barbosa, Nakamura, et al., 2021) is found within the genus Yphthimoide s, as expected, in the best FULL tree, but in the second best FULL tree and in the best two 4GENES trees it is placed as sister to Stegosatyrus within Cissia. This instability is likely also caused by its lack of very close relatives within the genus and only short COI sequences being available, but a placement within Yphthimoides is also justified morphologically (Nakahara, Barbosa, Nakamura, et al., 2021). It is estimated that the diversity of this clade will increase with the description of new species for Moneuptychia and Pharneuptychia (Barbosa et al., 2022; Freitas et al., in preparation) in forthcoming papers. Some recent papers provided generic taxonomic revisions and description of new taxa in this clade (Zacca et al., 2013 [Stegosatyrus], Zacca, Casagrande, et al., 2018 [Cissia], Zacca, Casagrande, Mielke, Huertas, Espeland, Freitas, et al., 2020 [Vanima]; Barbosa et al., 2015 [Yphthimoides], Barbosa et al., 2016 [Yphthimoides], Barbosa et al., 2020 [Yphthimoides]; Freitas et al., 2015 [Moneuptychia]; Nakahara, Barbosa, et al., 2016 [Graphita], Nakahara, Barbosa, Nakamura, et al., 2021 [Yphthimoides]; Henao-Bañol & Meneses, 2018 [Pharneuptychia]; Zhang et al., 2020 [Cissia], Zhang et al., 2022 [Cissia]; Benmesbah et al., 2021 [Koutalina]). Barbosa et al. (2022) provided a molecular phylogeny of Yphthimoides and relatives, and investigated the biogeography of the group. Possible synapomorphies and relatively distinctive characters for the clade include the following: (a) bifid distal region of the aedeagus, (b) saccus relatively short compared with other euptychiines; (c) lamella antevaginalis well developed (but somewhat variable,may be less developed in some species); (d) spiracle on the lateral plate of the 8th abdominal segment in females. Most of the species of the clade occur in Central and South America, except the Nearctic Megisto cymela and Oriental Megisto opalina. Several species of the clade (e.g. Moneuptychia, Stegosatyrus and Yphthimoides) are typical of montane natural grasslands in southern Brazil with remarkable examples including Stegosatyrus hemiclara in high elevation grasslands in the Bolivian and Peruvian Andes (Zacca et al., 2013) and Graphita griphe (Nakahara, Barbosa, et al., 2016) in the Andean cloud forests in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. Adults vary from small to medium size and most species are characterized by their dull brown coloration on the dorsal and ventral wings, except for the remarkable marbled ventral pattern of some species of Carminda. Adults of both sexes are commonly attracted to traps baited with rotting fruit.Some species of Moneuptychia exhibit territorial behaviour and two or more males may make a clicking noise when they fly together, produced by the callus on the forewing subcostal vein (Freitas et al., 2015; Freitas, Rosa, et al., 2018; Murillo-Hiller, 2006). The larvae feed on various genera of Poaceae and Cyperaceae (Ackery, 1988; Beccaloni et al., 2008; DeVries, 1987; Freitas et al., 2015; Freitas, Barbosa, & Carreira, 2021; Freitas, Rosa, et al., 2018; Freitas, Rosa, & Kaminski, 2021; Janzen & Hallwachs,2022; Piovesan et al., 2022; Singer et al., 1983), and the last instars of Moneuptychia, Pharneuptychia, Yphthimoides, Carminda, and Cissia show a common body pattern with thin longitudinal zigzag stripes (Barbosa et al., 2018; Freitas et al., 2015; Freitas, 2007; Freitas, Barbosa, & Carreira, 2021; Freitas, Kaminski, et al., 2012; Freitas,Rosa,et al., 2018; Freitas pers.obs.)., Published as part of Espeland, Marianne, Nakahara, Shinichi, Zacca, Thamara, Barbosa, Eduardo P., Huertas, Blanca, Marín, Mario A., Lamas, Gerardo, Benmesbah, Mohamed, Brévignon, Christian, Casagrande, Mirna M., Fåhraeus, Christer, Grishin, Nick, Kawahara, Akito Y., Mielke, Olaf H.

Taygetis clade The ‘ Taygetis clade’ is one of the most stable generic groups that has been recognized within the Euptychiina, identified first by Murray and Prowell (2005) and corroborated by increasingly comprehensive subsequent molecular and morphological studies (Espeland et al., 2019a; Marín et al., 2017; Matos-Maraví et al., 2013; Peña et al., 2006, 2010, 2011). The clade is fully supported in all datasets (Figures 7, S 2 and S 3) and contains 10 genera, Forsterinaria (27 species), Harjesia (3 species), Orotaygetis (monotypic), Parataygetis (2 species), Posttaygetis (monotypic), Pseudodebis (13 species), Taguaiba gen.n. (5 species), Sepona (monotypic), Taygetina (8 species) and Taygetis (25 species). It is embedded within a larger clade also containing the ‘ Pareuptychia -clade’, ‘ Splendeuptychia -clade’ and ‘ Archeuptychia -clade’. Multiple recent papers have helped revise the generic classification and describe new species (Matos-Maraví et al., 2013; Siewert et al., 2013 [covering species included here in Taguaiba gen.n.]; Freitas, Barbosa, Willmott, et al., 2016 [Sepona]; Nakahara, Willmott, et al., 2018 [Orotaygetis], Nakahara, Matos-Maraví, et al., 2019 [Taygetina], Nakahara, Matos-Maraví, Willmott, et al., 2021; Nakahara, Matos-Maraví, Schwartz, et al., 2021; Nakahara, Janzen, et al., 2022 [Pseudodebis]). The relationships found here are similar to previous studies, with Sepona being the sister group to the remainder of the clade in all trees, and the remaining genera falling into two well-supported subclades; the Forsterinaria subclade including Forsterinaria, Paratygetis, Posttaygetis and Harjesia, and the Taygetis subclade containing the remaining genera (Matos-Maraví et al., 2013; Nakahara, Willmott, et al., 2018). All genera are monophyletic and well-supported in all analyses, except for in the best 4GENES tree, where Forsterinaria quantius is sister to Parataygetis instead of the remainder of Forsterinaria, which is the case in all other trees. It has long been known that a new genus is needed for the former ‘ Taygetis ’ ypthima and relatives in the Taygetis subclade (Matos-Maraví et al., 2013; Nakahara, Matos-Maraví, et al., 2019; Nakahara, Willmott, et al., 2018; Peña et al., 2010; Siewert et al., 2013), and below we describe the new genus Taguaiba gen.n. for this species group. The ‘ Taygetis clade’ contains 86 described species and a number of currently known undescribed species, with the latter concentrated in particular in Forsterinaria, Pseudodebis and Taygetis. Taxonomic revisions are in progress for all three of the above-mentioned genera, in addition to Taygetina, while most of the remaining genera are monotypic or bitypic and are of less taxonomic concern. Members of the ‘ Taygetis -clade’ are relatively large, and indeed Taygetis contains the largest species in the subtribe. Perhaps as a result of their size and presumably greater conspicuousness to predators, adults of some species show remarkable intra-specific variation in their ventral wing patterns, which resemble dead leaves (e.g. Sepona, Taguaiba gen.n., Taygetis mermeria, Taygetis larua). Males of many species have darker areas on the dorsal forewing and/or hindwing with variably distributed brush-like androconial scales that are widespread among euptychiines, and most species have a ventral surface with somewhat to very undulate dark discal, postdiscal and/or submarginal lines. Possible synapomorphies (not all unique) and distinctive characters for the clade include the following: (a) vesica lacking obvious sclerotized cornuti; (b) corpus bursae extending to second abdominal segment (ductus bursae and corpus bursae occupying almost entire abdomen), except in a few taxa, such as Posttaygetis penelea; (c) lamella antevaginalis sclerotized; (d) spatula-like primary head capsule setae in the first instar larva. Furthermore, the female abdomen of members of this clade shows some unusual characters, such as notably weakly sclerotized tergites and sternites (barely more sclerotized than the intersegmental membrane) in genera such as Taygetis and Pseudodebis, and two weakly sclerotized patches on the dorsal surface of the inter-segmental membrane of the seventh and eighth abdominal segments that are filled with scales in Forsterinaria quantius. Members of the clade range from Mexico to Paraguay, Argentina and south-eastern Brazil, with a slight centre of diversity in the south-western Amazon (southern Peru and adjacent areas of Brazil) driven largely by Taygetis. Otherwise, the clade is notable for two genera that have diversified in areas of lower euptychiine diversity, namely Taguaiba gen.n. in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest domain (Siewert et al., 2013), and Forsterinaria in montane regions, particularly the tropical Andes (Peña & Lamas, 2005). Adults of some species appear to be crepuscular (DeVries, 1987; Murray, 2001a, 2001b; Young, 1972, 1984) and both sexes are attracted to rotting fruit (e.g. Freitas, Carreira, Santos, & Barbosa, 2016; Uehara-Prado & Freitas, 2019; Young, 1972), with males of Forsterinaria in particular also strongly attracted to carrion (Willmott & Pyrcz, pers. obs.). The immature stages feed mostly on various genera of Poaceae, with infrequent records on Marantaceae and Cyperaceae (Baine et al., 2019; Corahua-Espinoza et al., 2023; Freitas, 2017; Freitas, Carreira, Santos, & Barbosa, 2016; Hurtado et al., 2021; Janzen & Hallwachs, 2022; Murray, 2001a, 2001b). The close spatial association of adults of many species with stands of Guadua (lowlands) and Chusquea bamboos (Poaceae: Bambusoideae: Bambuseae) suggests that these plants are also widely used as hostplants throughout the clade. Indeed, some evidence suggests that species in Posttaygetis, Pseudodebis and Taygetina have a narrow diet breadth, feeding exclusively on Guadua or Rhipidocladum (Corahua-Espinoza et al., 2023; Janzen & Hallwachs, 2022; Murray, 2001a, 2001b)., Published as part of Espeland, Marianne, Nakahara, Shinichi, Zacca, Thamara, Barbosa, Eduardo P., Huertas, Blanca, Marín, Mario A., Lamas, Gerardo, Benmesbah, Mohamed, Brévignon, Christian, Casagrande, Mirna M., Fåhraeus, Christer, Grishin, Nick, Kawahara, Akito Y., Mielke, Olaf H.

Saurona Huertas & Willmott, genus novum. Type species — Euptychia aurigera var. triangula Aurivillius, 1929 , by present designation. Zoobank registration: https://zoobank.org/Nomenclatural Acts/25189D52-EE44-4A98-A286-08403155CA6D Systematic placement and diagnosis. Saurona gen.n. is a member of the ‘ Hermeuptychia clade’, in which its type species, Euptychia triangula Aurivillius, 1929, is strongly supported as sister to Hermeuptychia (SH-aLRT = 98.8, UFB = 99). Our results (Figures 5, S 2 and S 3), morphology (Huertas, 2014) and DNA barcodes (C. Fahraeus, unpublished data) support a sister relationship between Saurona triangula comb.n. and the only other described species included here within this new genus, Saurona aurigera comb.n. These two species can be distinguished from all other Euptychiina as follows: (a) a patch of elongate, dark androconial hair-like scales is present along the distal edge of the DHW discal cell (Figure 14a); (b) the HW costa is expanded anteriorly, with concomitant shortening of the HW discal cell and basal migration of the ends of veins Rs and Sc + R1 (Figure 14a); (c) the VFW anal margin where it overlaps with the DHW androconial scales has an elongate patch of pale, sparse, needle-like scales along the basal part of vein 2A, surrounded by shiny white scales; (d) the DFW has an elongate androconial patch of shiny silver greyish scales along the basal half of vein M 2 (Figure 14a). The ventral portion of the anal tube in the male genitalia is weakly sclerotized and covered with minute studs (Figure 15d), a distinctive character shared with the sister genus Hermeuptychia (e.g. Zacca et al., 2021), whereas the slender, upwardly curving brachia differ from the thicker, posterior/ventrally pointing brachia of Hermeuptychia (e.g. Cong & Grishin, 2014; Nakahara, Tan, et al., 2016; Zacca et al., 2021). Both described Saurona gen.n. species also share a distinctive, dense covering of hair-like setae over the uncus. Finally, the configuration of the VHW postdiscal ocelli is almost unique within the subtribe, with the row of circular black ocelli with large central silvery pupils surrounded by orange scaling (Figure 14c,e), superficially similar only to Euptychia ordinata Weymer, 1911 and Euptychia insignis Butler, 1867 (which are placed here in the ‘ Amphidecta clade’). The simple VHW ocelli readily distinguish the two described species from several otherwise somewhat similar species in Argentaria gen.n. The female genitalia of S. triangula comb.n. (Figure 15g – j) have several distinctive characters (described further below), but none that can be considered synapomorphies since they are not shared with a known undescribed species that should be placed in this genus (Huertas et al., in preparation). Etymology. The generic name is based on that of the main antagonist, Sauron, in J. R. R. Tolkien ’ s novel ‘The Lord of the Rings’. The name alludes to the distinctive fused orange rings that encircle the VHW ocelli, and to avoid unhelpful changes to associated specific names as mandated by the ICZN (Article 31.2, ICZN, 1999), we treat it as a feminine noun in the nominative singular. Description (Figures 14 and 15). Some notable characters include: eyes naked; pterothoracic legs dorsally darker except tips of tarsomeres ringed with pale scales, tibia with two principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, pair of spurs of similar length at distal end of tibia, first tarsomere with three principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally, remaining tarsomeres with four principal longitudinal rows of spines ventrally. Small Euptychiina (FW length typically 17 – 19 mm). FW and HW compact, HW skewed with costal margin extended anteriorly and distal tips of veins Rs and Sc + R1 shifted basally, and FW anal margin expanded posteriorly (in male). Male DFW with elongate androconial patch of shiny grey scales along the basal half of vein M 2; DHW with patch of elongate androconial hair-like scales at distal edge of discal cell, and associated androconial scales at overlapping anal margin of VFW, as described above. No strong sexual dimorphism in wing pattern: VFW lacking ocelli, VHW with five distinct postdiscal ocelli (and one indistinct, in cell M 1 -Rs), all of similar form, circular, black, with large, single central silvery pupil in each, surrounded by orange scaling. Female with slightly more rounded wings than male but otherwise similar in pattern, except as noted above and in lacking the DHW, VFW and DFW androconial scales. Male eighth abdominal tergite reduced dorsally, leaving a sclerotized strip along anterior edge and broader band along ventral edge (Figure 15a); dense covering of hair-like setae on uncus in two described species, aedeagus straight and lacking cornuti, ventral portion of anal tube weakly sclerotized and covered with minute studs, brachia pointing sharply dorsally of uncus. Female genitalia with eighth tergite complete, intersegmental membrane between seventh and eighth abdominal segments somewhat wrinkled and expandable without a sclerotized plate ventrally, eighth segment with large, posteriorly pointed irregular lateral sclerotized plate fused ventrally with a broad, scoop-like ventrally sclerotized antrum, band of black scales posterior to eighth segment encircling abdomen, base of papilla analis unusually strongly sclerotized, ductus bursae narrow, corpus bursae elongate and with two narrow, elongate signa. Distribution and natural history (Figure 16). Saurona gen.n. is confined to lowland rainforest in the south-western Amazon, where both described species can be found in the same localities. The immature stages and hostplants have not been described. Discussion. Weymer (1911, p. 194, pl. 46 e) described Euptychia aurigera in his ‘Hesione group’ (now Pareuptychia), but also stated that it ‘resembles no other Euptychia ’. His description and figure of the ventral surface are consistent with one another, and the latter shows an attenuated VFW white band and dark brown line separating the white VHW postdiscal band from the orange surrounding the ocelli. These ventral characters are evident in the putative syntype specimen examined at the SMTD, and distinguish the species from the only other described congener. Aurivillius (1929) described Euptychia aurigera var. triangula based on three males from Rio Purus, Hyutanahan (= Hiutanaa ˜) (Brazil, Amazonas), and accurately described several characters that distinguish the species from S. aurigera comb.n. and which are evident in the syntype specimens examined at the RMS and figured by Warren et al. (2022). We selected Euptychia triangula as the type species for this genus since it was the species for which we had most complete DNA sequence data. Neither species was mentioned by Forster (1964) in his generic reorganization of Euptychiina, and Lamas (2004) placed both species in Splendeuptychia, among several superficially similar other species, until their true relationships could be determined. Based on a morphological phylogenetic study, Huertas (2014) found both species to be distantly related to other species then placed in Splendeuptychia. The morphological phylogenetic study of Marín et al. (2017) placed Splendeuptychia triangula as sister to Splendeuptychia ackeryi and Splendeuptychia doxes (both of which are placed here in Nhambikuara), but without strong support, and this placement may have resulted from superficial similarity in ventral wing pattern elements. Otherwise, we do not know of any morphological characters that strongly support an alternative hypothesis of relationships from that proposed in this paper on the basis of molecular data, or the reasonable placement of the two species included here within Saurona gen.n. in any described genus. In our analysis the branch separating Saurona gen.n. from Hermeuptychia is much longer than any within either genus, and the two genera otherwise share no obvious diagnostic morphological or ecological characters.
