Cymaenes catarinae (O. Mielke, 1989) and Cymaenes incomptus (Hayward, 1934) , new combinations

Sequencing of the holotype and allotype of Vidius catarinae O. Mielke, 1989 (type locality in Brazil: Santa Catarina) and a specimen of Nastra incomptus Hayward, 1934 (type locality Argentina: Punta Lara ) ( Fig. 7 olive), reveals that they are sisters placed deep within Cymaenes Scudder, 1872 (type species Cobalus tripunctus Herrich-Schäffer, 1865 ) ( Fig. 7 blue). Their harpe has a characteristic for Cymaenes shape, protruding dorsocaudad from valva and terminally expanding towards serrated margin. Therefore, we propose Cymaenes catarinae (O. Mielke, 1989) , comb. nov. and Cymaenes incomptus (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.
