Neoxeniades ethoda (Hewitson, [1866]) , new combination

Hesperia ethoda Hewitson, [1866] is transferred to Neoxeniades , where it is positioned in the genomic trees ( Fig. 10 ), not being monophyletic with Xeniades Godman, [1900] (type species Papilio orchamus Cramer, [1777] ), where it was placed previously, to form the new combination Neoxeniades ethoda (Hewit- son, [1866]). The differences in unci between the two genera agree with this transfer. Uncus arms are well-developed and widely apart in Xeniades , but are vestigial (uncus almost undivided) in Neoxeniades .
