Eurygona leucophryna Schaus, 1913 View in CoL belongs to the genus Pelolasia Grishin, 2021

Genomic sequencing of a syntype of Eurygona leucophryna Schaus, 1913 (type locality in Costa Rica: Cachí) reveals that it is sister to Pelolasia cataleuca (R. Felder, 1869) ( Fig. 11) in the genus Pelolasia Grishin, 2021 (type species Eurygona pelor Hewitson, 1853 ). This close relationship with P. cataleuca was mentioned in the original description of E. leucophryna (Schaus 1913) . Thus, we propose Pelolasia leucophryna (Schaus, 1913) , comb. nov.
