Deudorix batikelides W. Holland, 1920 belongs to the genus Pilodeudorix H. H. Druce, 1891

Genomic phylogeny places the allotype of Deudorix batikelides W. Holland, 1920 (type locality in Congo, NVG-20127G06) (Fig. 24 labeled in orange) in the same clade with Pilodeudorix H. H. Druce, 1891 (type species Pilodeudorix barbatus H. H. Druce, 1891, which is regarded as a junior subjective synonym of Sithon camerona Plötz, 1880) (Fig. 24 cyan) and away from Deudorix Hewitson, 1863 (type species Dipsas epijarbas F. Moore, 1858) (Fig. 24 blue). While we were unable to find the holotype of D. batikelides, we use the allotype to represent this species and transfer D. batikelides from Deudorix to Pilodeudorix, forming Pilodeudorix batikelides (W. Holland, 1920), comb. nov.
