Typespecies. Pamphila eurotasC. Felder, 1860. Definition.Genomic phylogeny of the tribe Taractrocerini Voss, 1952shows a notable genetic differentiation between the clade with Arrhenes eurotas(C. Felder, 1860), comb. nov.( typelocality in Ambon) and Arrhenes eurychlora(Lower, 1908), comb. nov.( typelocality Australia: New South Wales, Ballina) that we placed in ArrhenesMabille, 1904( typespecies Pamphila marnasFelder, 1860) above, and other species of Arrhenes, including the type( Fig. 44), e.g., their COI barcodes differ by 7.6–8.7% (50–57 bp). Therefore, this clade represents a new subgenus. This new subgenus keys to L. 7.1 inEvans (1949) and differs from its relatives by a combination of the following characters: undivided uncus, terminally narrow and flat; rounded valva without prominently concave dorsal margin at ampulla-harpe, without spines; long antennae, longer than ½ of the costal margin; shorter and stouter 3 rdsegment of palpi; broad and straight stigma; rather narrow wings ( Fig. 46) as in most species of TelicotaF. Moore, 1881( typespecies Papilio colonFabricius, 1775) and not as rounded as in a typical ArrhenesMabille, 1904. In DNA, a combination of the following characters is diagnostic in the nuclear genome: aly 1841.5. 20:A237T, aly 1841.5.20:G259A, aly600.14.1:C84T, aly600.14.1:G87A, aly4645.10.1:A490C, and COI barcode: T70A, A181T, T376C, T530C, T547A.
Etymology.This name combines the previous and current genus names of these species: Teli[cota] + [Arrhe] nesand is a masculine noun in the nominative singular.
