Zhang, Jing, Cong, Qian, Shen, Jinhui & Grishin, Nick V., 2022, Taxonomic changes suggested by the genomic analysis of Hesperiidae (Lepidoptera), Insecta Mundi 2022 (921), pp. 1-135 : 28

Perus narycus (Mabille, 1889) , new combination

Presently in Ouleus Lindsey, 1925 (type species Achlyodes fridericus Geyer, 1832 ), Pythonides narycus Mabille, 1889 (type locality Peru: Chanchamayo) is not monophyletic with it, and is not even in the tribe Achlyodini Burmeister, 1878 where Ouleus belongs ( Fig. 5 ). Instead, P. narycus belongs to the tribe Carcharodini Verity, 1940, where it is sister to Perus Grishin, 2019 (type species Pholisora cordillerae Lindsey, 1925 ), and where we place it to form Perus narycus (Mabille, 1889) , new combination. Thus, we find that yet another species from Peru belongs to Perus .
