Cantha eteocla (Plötz, 1882) and Cantha buriti (O. Mielke, 1968) , new combinations

Hesperia eteocla Pl ̂tz, 1882 (type locality in Brazil: Rio de Janeiro) and Phlebodes buriti O. Mielke, 1968 (type locality in Brazil: Mato Grosso) ( Fig. 8 dark green), including their primary type specimens, cluster among Cantha Evans, 1955 (type species Cantha calva Evans, 1955 ) ( Fig. 8 purple) in the nuclear genomic tree and are not monophyletic with Papilio pertinax Stoll, [1781] (type locality in Suriname), the type species of Phlebodes Hübner, [1819] , the genus of their current placement. Therefore, we propose Cantha eteocla (Pl̂tz, 1882), comb. nov. and Cantha buriti (O. Mielke, 1968) , comb. nov.
