Oxynthes (Oxynthes) egma ( Evans, 1955) , comb. nov.

Currently placed in Oeonus Godman, 1900 -XI (type species Oeonus pyste Godman, 1900 ), O. egma Evans, 1955 is most closely related to the type species of Oxynthes Godman, 1900 -X ( Goniloba corusca Herrich-Schäffer, 1869 ) than that of Oeonus ( Fig. 4 blue). Therefore, it does not belong to Oeonus and we propose Oxynthes egma ( Evans, 1955) , comb. nov.

FIGURE 4. Nuclear genome tree of selected Carystina and Hesperiina. The tree is constructed from protein-coding regions. Statistical support values are shown by nodes. For each specimen, its name adopted in this work is given first, and a previously used name is listed in square brackets (if different), supplemented with the DNA sample number, type status, general locality, year of collection (when known), and, for primary type specimens, their repository. Synonyms are given in parentheses preceded by “=”, and in addition by “‡” for unavailable names. The type status refers to this synonym, if the synonym name is provided. Green vertical bar cuts the tree into genera, except Vertica, which is characterized by lower evolutionary rate (leaves are closer to the root compared to most others). Yellow shading denotes genera and its width (horizontal dimension) is proportional to the genetic differentiation within each genus. Taxa discussed in the text are shown in different colors: Carystus elvira (orange), Orthos minka, stat. nov. (green), Orthos orthos (purple), Orthos hyalinus, stat. rest. (olive), Oxynthes (blue, subgenus Oeonus labeled in dark blue), Lindra neroides, comb. nov. (red, neotype labeled in margenta), Lindra brasus (cyan), and Decinea (gray).
