Paratrytone samenta (Dyar, 1914) Zhang & Cong & Shen & Grishin, 2022

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 : 48

Paratrytone samenta (Dyar, 1914) , new combination

Since its description kept in the genus Ochlodes Scudder, 1872 (type species Hesperia nemorum Boisduval, 1852 , currently a subspecies of Hesperia agricola Boisduval, 1852 ), O. samenta Dyar, 1914 (type locality Mexico: Guerrero and Jalisco) is not monophyletic with it and instead is sister to Paratrytone Godman, 1900 (type species Paratrytone rhexenor Godman, 1900 ) ( Fig. 11 ). Therefore, we place it in this genus to form Paratrytone samenta (Dyar, 1914) , new combination.
