Dion iccius ( Evans, 1955) and Dion uza ( Hewitson, 1877) , new combinations

Currently placed in Enosis Mabille, 1889 (type species Enosis dognini Mabille, 1889 ), Enosis iccius Evans, 1955 (type locality Guyana) and Hesperia uza Hewitson, 1877 (type locality unknown) are not monophyletic with its type species and instead originate within Dion Godman, 1901 (type species Carystus gemmatus Butler, 1872 ) ( Fig. 15 View Figure 15 ). Therefore, they are transferred there to form Dion iccius ( Evans, 1955) , new combination, and Dion uza ( Hewitson, 1877) , new combination.
