Vehilius spitzi (O. Mielke, 1967), Vehilius tanta (Evans, 1955), Vehilius campestris (O. Mielke, 1980), and Vehilius tinta (Evans, 1955), new combinations
Vidius spitzi O. Mielke, 1967 and Vidius tinta Evans, 1955 (type locality for the two in Brazil: Goiás), Nastra tanta Evans, 1955 (type locality in Brazil: Mato Grosso), and Cymaenes campestris O. Mielke, 1980 (type locality in Brazil: Paraná) (Fig. 7 pink) originate within the species of Vehilius Godman, 1900 (type species Cobalus illudens Mabille, 1891, currently a subspecies of Pamphila stictomenes Butler, 1877) (Fig. 7 gray) as evidenced by the nuclear genome tree. Typical COI barcode differences among these species are around 3%–5%: e.g., V. spitzi differs from N. tanta by 3% (20 bp) and C. campestris differs from V. tinta by 4.7% (31 bp), with the largest difference being between V. stictomenes illudens and C. campestris: 8.1% (53 bp). Therefore, we place all these species in the same genus as Vehilius spitzi (O. Mielke, 1967), comb. nov., Vehilius tanta (Evans, 1955), comb. nov., Vehilius campestris (O. Mielke, 1980), comb. nov., and Vehilius tinta (Evans, 1955), comb. nov.
