Dion iccius ( Evans, 1955) and Dion uza ( Hewitson, 1877) , new combinations

Currently placed in Enosis Mabille, 1889 ( type species Enosis dognini Mabille, 1889 ), Enosis iccius Evans, 1955 ( type locality Guyana) and Hesperia uza Hewitson, 1877 ( type locality unknown) are not monophyletic with its type species and instead originate within Dion Godman, 1901 ( type species Carystus gemmatus Butler, 1872 ) ( Fig. 15 View Figure 15 ). Therefore, they are transferred there to form Dion iccius ( Evans, 1955) , new combination, and Dion uza ( Hewitson, 1877) , new combination.
