Oarisma (Copaeodes) favor (Evans, 1955), new status

Genomic sequencing of Copaeodes jean jean Evans, 1955 (type locality in Guyana) (Fig. 9 green) and Copaeodes jean favor Evans, 1955 (type locality in Brazil: Paraná) (Fig. 9 magenta), both currently in the genus Oarisma Scudder, 1872 (type species Hesperia powesheik Parker, 1870), reveals prominent genetic differentiation between them, e.g., their COI barcodes differ by 4.7% (31 bp). Combined with phenotypic differences mentioned by Evans (1955), like the presence of dark border on wings and the extent of whitening between veins on ventral hindwing, these differences suggest a species status for Oarisma (Copaeodes) favor (Evans, 1955), stat. nov.
