Ankola Evans, 1937 View in CoL is a junior subjective synonym of Pardaleodes Butler, 1870

A monotypic genus Ankola Evans, 1937 (type species Osmodes (?) fan Holland, 1894 ) renders Pardaleodes Butler, 1870 (type species Papilio edipus Stoll, [1781] ) paraphyletic ( Fig. 10 View Figure 10 ). Due to genetic and morphological ( Evans 1937) closeness of these species that form a compact clade in the tree similar in genetic differentiation to Ceratrichia Butler, [1870] (type species Papilio nothus Fabricius, 1787 ), we restore monophyly by treating Ankola , as a new junior subjective synonym of Pardaleodes Butler, 1870 .
