Treatment

Turmada Evans, 1955 View in CoL is a synonym of Neoxeniades Hayward, 1938

Turmada originates within Neoxeniades ( Fig. 10 View Figure 10 ), and genetic distance between the type species of these genera is small (COI barcode difference 5.5%, and differences as much as 10% are frequent between congeners). Therefore, Turmada is designated a new junior subjective synonym of Neoxeniades .
