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 : 73-74

Pamphila xenos Mabille, 1898 is a junior subjective synonym of Vehilius inca (Scudder, 1872)

Currently placed in Lerodea Scudder, 1872 (type species Hesperia eufala Edwards, 1869 ), Pamphila xenos Mabille, 1898 (type locality Bolivia: Tanampaya) is not monophyletic with it, but instead the two syntypes in the ZMHB

we sequenced group within Vehilius inca (Scudder, 1872) (type locality Peru) and are conspecific with it ( Fig. 14 ). Therefore, Pamphila xenos Mabille, 1898 is a junior subjective synonym of Vehilius inca (Scudder, 1872) .
