Lychnuchus (Enosis) demon ( Evans, 1955 ) 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 : 82

Lychnuchus (Enosis) demon ( Evans, 1955) , new status, new combination

Named as a subspecies of Hesperia immaculata Hewitson, 1868 from Peru, Enosis immaculata demon Evans, 1955 shows differences comparable to those of species and is genetically removed from E. immaculata ( Fig. 15 ). Furthermore, as detailed above, Enosis Mabille, 1889 (type species Enosis dognini Mabille, 1889 ) is a subgenus of Lychnuchus Hübner, [1831] (type species Lychnuchus olenus Hübner, [1831] , which is a junior subjective synonym of Hesperia celsus Fabricius, 1793 ). Therefore we propose Lychnuchus (Enosis) demon ( Evans, 1955) , new status, new combination.
