Pellicia (Hemipteris) meno (Mabille, 1889) is a valid species distinct from Pellicia (Pellicia) dimidiata Herrich-Schäffer, 1870

Genomic sequencing of the holotype of Arteurotia meno Mabille, 1889 (type locality in Panama, sequenced as NVG-15032E05), currently a subspecies of Pellicia (Pellicia) dimidiata Herrich-Schäffer, 1870 (type locality in Mexico and La Guaira, [Venezuela], a syntype from Venezuela sequenced as NVG-15032E10), reveals that it is not monophyletic with it and instead belongs to the subgenus Hemipteris Mabille, 1889 (type species Hemipteris fumida Mabille, 1889, currently treated as a junior subjective synonym of Pellicia tyana Plötz, 1882, but see below) (Fig. 90). Because A. meno is not conspecific with any older name in this subgenus, we propose that Pellicia (Hemipteris) meno (Mabille, 1889), stat. rest. is a valid species distinct from Pellicia (Pellicia) dimidiata Herrich-Schäffer, 1870 .
