Type species. Telegonus fulvius Plötz, 1882 .

Definition. Species in this genus were previously placed in Salatis Evans, 1952 (type species Papilio salatis Stoll, 1782 ), but are not monophyletic with it and instead form a clade sister to Bungalotis Watson, 1893 (type species Papilio midas Cramer, 1775 ) ( Fig. 1 ). Keys to D.2.4a in Evans (1952). Distinguished from its relatives by the following characters: cheeks and palpi below tawny, not white, wings in males fulvous above; compared to Salatis : more produced forewings, costal fold either absent or shorter than half of costal margin, broader and rounder uncus in ventral view, more elongated and gracile valva. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly876.15.1:C294T, aly909.2.2:C319A, aly1450.14.11:A1002G, aly50.31.2:A2011C, and aly909.2.2:C264T.

Etymology. The name is a masculine noun (to agree in gender with the names of species in this genus) in the nominative singular, a fusion of Fulv [ous]+[Sal] atis for the orange-red wing color characteristic of these species formerly placed in Salatis .

Species included. The type species and Bungalotis scyrus Bell, 1934 .

Parent taxon. Tribe Phocidini Tutt, 1906 .

Figure 1. Genomic tree of Eudaminae. The tree is constructed from protein-coding regions. The tree is rooted with Pterourus glaucus (Linnaeus, 1758) (NVG-1670), not shown. Statistical support values are shown on nodes. For each specimen, its name adopted in this work is given first, and a previously used name is listed in square brackets (if different), supplemented with the DNA sample number, type status (see Table 2 caption for abbreviations) and general locality. See Table S1 in the Supplemental file for additional data about these specimens. Synonyms are given in parentheses preceded by “=”, and in addition by “‡” for unavailable names. The type status refers to this synonym, if the synonym name is provided. Clades corresponding to new genera, subgenera and species are colored in red, orange and green, respectively, and the names of new taxa are highlighted accordingly. Names of selected tribes, subtribes, genera, and subgenera are labeled at their clades. Clades corresponding to some genera are highlighted in yellow to compare their genetic diversifications (length of the highlight in horizontal dimension) with each other. Groups of similar genetic diversification would ideally correspond to genera. The
