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 : 86

Naevolus brunnescens (Hayward, 1939) , new combination

Placed in Psoralis Mabille, 1904 (type species Psoralis sabaeus Mabille, 1904 , which is a junior subjective synonym of Pamphila idee Weeks, 1901 ) by Evans (1955), Oeonus brunnescens Hayward, 1939 is not monophyletic with it ( Fig. 15 ), and is instead sister to Naevolus orius (Mabille, 1883) , the senior subjective synonym of Cydrus naevolus Godman, 1900 , type and the only known species of Naevolus Hemming, 1939 , where it is therefore placed. We note that both species possess similarly elongated wings, not frequently found in other Moncina .
