Vidius dagon ( Evans, 1955) , Vidius catocala ( Herrich-Schäffer, 1869) , Vidius cocalus (Hayward, 1939) , and Vidius obscurior (Hayward, 1934) , new combinations

A number of species currently placed in the genus Cobalopsis Godman, 1900 (type species Pamphila edda Mabille, 1891 , a junior subjective synonym of Hesperia autumna, 1882 ) ( Fig. 7 dark blue) originate near or within Vidius Evans, 1955 (type species Narga vidius Mabille, 1891 ) ( Fig. 7 blue). The COI barcode difference between Atrytonopsis obscurior Hayward, 1934 (type locality in Argentina: Entre Rios), taken as a representative of the clade that is sister to others, and therefore is most distant from Vidius , and a paralectotype of V. vidius (type locality in Brazil: Rio Grande do Sul) from Brazil: S„o Paulo (NVG-18043G 12 in MFNB) is 7.3% (48 bp). Therefore, we transfer them to this genus forming Vidius dagon ( Evans, 1955) , comb. nov., Vidius catocala ( Herrich-Schäffer, 1869) , comb. nov., Vidius cocalus (Hayward, 1939) , comb. nov., and Vidius obscurior (Hayward, 1934) , comb. nov.

FIGURE 7. Nuclear genome tree of selected Moncina: Lerema relatives. See Fig. 4 for notations. Some genera are labeled at their clades. Taxa discussed in the text are shown in different colors: Rectava (red, with Rectava cascatona, comb. nov. labeled in magenta), Lurida (lime, with Lurida zama, comb. nov. labeled in orange), Corra (cyan, with Corra xanthus, comb. nov. and former subspecies of Corra coryna labeled in purple and darker cyan, respectively), Vidius (blue, with species transferred from Cobalopsis labeled in dark blue), Cymaenes (green, with species transferred from Vidius or Nastra and Cymaenes macintyrei, stat. rest. labeled in olive and lilac), and Vehilius (gray, with species transferred from Vidius, Nastra, or Cymaenes labeled in pink). Green arrows point from the clade of the genus where a species was previous placed to the clade of the species that is being transferred between genera.
