Eprius planus (Weeks, 1901) and Eprius penna (Evans, 1955), new combinations

Pamphila planus Weeks, 1901 (type locality in Bolivia) (Fig. 6 orange), currently in Mnasicles Godman, 1901 (type species Mnasicles geta Godman, 1901), is not monophyletic with it and instead originates near Eprius Godman, 1901 (type species Epeus veleda Godman, 1901) (Fig. 6 green). COI barcodes of E. veleda and P. planus are 8.5% (56 bp) different, which is within the range known for congeners. Additionally, Styrioides [sic] penna Evans, 1955 is morphologically similar to P. planus . All these species possess a narrow brand segment along forewing cubitus in cell CuA 1 -CuA 2, short undivided and rounded uncus, bottle-shaped taken together with tegumen in dorsal view, and an unusual aedeagus end elaborate with spikes. For these reasons, we propose Eprius planus (Weeks, 1901), comb. nov. and Eprius penna (Evans, 1955), comb. nov. However, the structure of the 3 rd segment of palpi is quite different between E. veleda (thin and rather long) and E. planus with E. penna (stout and conical). Analysis of other relatives will shed more light on these similarities and differences.
