Thisbe Hübner, [1819] is a subgenus of Lemonias Hübner, [1807]

Currently treated as a genus, Thisbe Hübner, 1819 (type species Papilio belise Stoll, 1782, which is a junior subjective synonym of Papilio irenea Stoll, 1780) is genetically differentiated from Lemonias Hübner, [1807] (type species Lemonias zygia Hübner, 1807) at the subgenus level (Fig. 23 cyan); e.g., their COI barcodes differ by 8.4% (55 bp). Therefore, we propose that Thisbe Hübner, 1819 stat. nov. is a subgenus of Lemonias Hübner, [1807] . Moreover, we find that Thisbe, as currently circumscribed, is not monophyletic (Fig. 23 red and cyan labeled in bright purple), and some species included in Thisbe belong to distinct genera, as elaborated upon in the next section.
