Decinea lydora (Plötz, 1882) , resurrected status

As demonstrated in previous section, Cobalus neroides Herrich-Schäffer, 1869 (type locality likely in Southeast Brazil) does not belong to Decinea Evans, 1955 (type species Hesperia decinea Hewitson, 1876 ), but is a valid species of Lindra Evans, 1955 (type species Carystus simulius H. Druce, 1876 ). Therefore, the species that Hayward (1949) and Evans (1955) misidentified as C. neroides may be referred to by its next available name that we resurrect from synonymy and use as valid: Decinea lydora (Pl̂tz, 1882), stat. rev.
