Description

Neoxeniades parna (Evans, 1955), new combination

Niconiades parna (Evans, 1955 (type locality Brazil: Para) is not monophyletic with Niconiades Hübner, [1821] (type species Niconiades xanthaphes Hübner, [1821]), in Moncina A. Warren, 2008, but instead is within Neoxeniades Hayward, 1938 (type species Neoxeniades musarion Hayward, 1938), in Carystina Mabille, 1878 (Fig. 17). The shape of valva and extended slightly bilobed uncus agree with this placement. Therefore we propose Neoxeniades parna (Evans, 1955), new combination.
