Treatment

Tosta Evans, 1953 View in CoL is a synonym of Eantis Boisduval, 1836

Phylogenetic analysis confidently reveals ( Fig. 5 View Figure 5 ) that Tosta Evans, 1953 (type species Tosta tosta Evans, 1953 ) originates within Eantis Boisduval, [1836] (type species Urbanus thraso Hübner, [1807] ) and therefore is best considered its junior subjective synonym.
