0383CD7AFFB4FFCAD790FE033291F9EA.taxon	materials_examined	Type material. Proteides amphion Geyer, 1832 was described based on an unspecified number of specimens from “ Westindien ” [= American continent based on Hübner, [1819 ]]. Even though Hübners’ type material is supposedly housed at ZMHU, no syntypes of P. amphion were found there. Thus, a male neotype of Proteides amphion is hereby designated, in order to stabilize the identity of this species. The chosen neotype specimen has the same morphological characteristics of the male illustrated by Geyer (1832, pl; [109], figs 631 and 632) and well discussed by Evans (1953), and is deposited at the DZUP with the following labels: / Neotypus / Imperatriz, MA [ranhão, Brazil] 9 – VIII – 1974 Exc.

Plesioneura compressa Möschler, 1877 was described based on three specimens from the coast and interior of Suriname. Even though Möschlers’ type material is supposedly housed at ZMHU, no syntypes of P. compressa were found there. Thus, a male neotype of Plesioneura compressa is hereby designated, in order to stabilize the identity of this species. The chosen neotype specimen has the same morphological characteristics of the male illustrated by Möschler (1877, pl. 4, fig. 22) and well discussed by Evans (1953), it’s from the same type locality, and is deposited at the DZUP – OM with the following labels: / Neotypus / Suriname 1963 / [OM] 11.935 / Neotypus Plesioneura compressa Möschler, 1877 Siewert, Mielke & Casagrande det. 2019 /. Proteides zethos Plötz, 1882 was described based on one specimen [holotype] from Pará [Brazil]. The male holotype is deposited at ZMHU with the following labels: / Holotypus Nr. / 5038 / Pará Sieb [er] / zethos Pl. Type /. Aethilla buffumi Weeks, 1906 was described based on an unspecified number of specimens from Suapure [Bolivar], Venezuela. Two syntypes specimens (one male and one female) of A. buffumi were found in MCZ. The female syntype has the following labels: 1 / 1 / 90 / 733 / SUAPURE VENEZUELA / A G Weeks Collection / M. C. Z. Type 16684. / Jan. – Jun. 2001 MCZ Image Database /. In order to stabilize the identity of this species, this female specimen is hereby designated lectotype of Aethilla buffumi Weeks, 1906. The lectotype has a label with the same information published in the original description, and the following labels will also be attached: / Lectotypus / Lectotypus Aethilla buffumi Weeks, 1906 Siewert, Mielke & Casagrande det. 2019 /. The male specimen is hereby designated paralectotype and the following labels will also be attached: / Paralectotypus / Paralectotypus Aethilla buffumi Weeks, 1906 Siewert, Mielke & Casagrande det. 2019 /. These labels will be sent to the curator for the collection.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

Telemiades amphion resembles T. belli Siewert, Mielke & Casagrande, sp. nov. and T. fides, but is distinguished mainly by its geographical distribution from the Amazonas region to south Brazil, while T. belli sp. nov. and T. fides occurs on Central America. Additionally, the following genitalia characters differentiates T. amphion from other species of the “ amphion group ”: valva with hook – like distal process, distally slightly curved; lamella antevaginalis with distal margin slightly concave; lamella postvaginalis rounded.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

0383CD7AFFB4FFCAD790FE033291F9EA.taxon	description	Variation. Specimens vary in size, in the dark spots in FW and HW, in the size of hyaline spots of discal area and in the apical hyaline spot in R 5 – M 1, which in some individuals may be smaller or absent. The male genitalia also vary in size, as well and the posterior margin of the tegumen and the distal process of the tegumen may be larger and less sharp. Natural history. Telemiades amphion flies throughout the year. Immatures have been reported on Inga pilosula and Zygia cauliflora (Fabaceae) (Moss 1949).	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

0383CD7AFFB4FFCAD790FE033291F9EA.taxon	distribution	Distribution. This species is distributed in Amazon and interior Atlantic Forest areas, occurring in Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Brazil. Taxonomic discussion. Hübner, [1819] proposed the name Proteides amphion without giving a description or illustration of the species. Thus, this name is nomen nudum according to Article 12.1 of ICZN. Geyer (1832) mentioned Proteides amphion (which he attributed to Hübner) and gave a brief description of it based on an unknown number of specimens from the “ Westindien ” [= American continent based on Hübner, [1819 ]]. By doing so, Geyer (1832) satisfied the ICZN requirements to become the author of the species. After Geyer’s description, the species was transferred to Hesperia (Westwood 1852), Aethilla (Butler 1870), Plesioneura (Herrich – Schäffer 1870), Eudamus (Kirby 1879) and finally to Telemiades (Mabille 1878). Plesioneura compressa Möschler, 1877, Proteides zethos Plötz, 1882 and Aethilla buffumi Weeks, 1906 are considered synonyms of T. amphion after Plötz (1882), Godman (1907) and Bell (1933), respectively. The examination of the type material of these species confirms that they are synonyms of T. amphion. Examined material.

0383CD7AFFB0FFCBD790F9303796F852.taxon	etymology	Etymology. This species is named to honor Ernest Layton Bell (1876 – 1964) for his extensive contribution to the study of the Neotropical skippers. Taxonomic discussion. Bell (1949) illustrated the genitalia of a male specimen from “ British Honduras ” [Belize] and treated it as a variation of T. amphion. Despite the differences in the morphology of the male genitalia of Telemiades belli sp. nov. and T. amphion, Bell (1941) opted for not describing a new species until he had sufficient material of it. After dissecting a series of specimens for this study, constant differences in the morphology of the male and female genitalia were found between T. amphion and T. belli sp. nov., sufficient to justify the description of a new species.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

Telemiades fides resembles T. marpesus in size but can be distinguished by the brown ground color and the absence of submarginal dark spots in the FW. Additionally, T. fides occurs at Central America while T. marpesus is only known from the south Brazilian and Argentinian Atlantic Forest. Telemiades fides is distinguished from the remaining species of the “ amphion group ” by the following characters: uncus with median – distally projection slightly rounded; valva with a developed distal process, slightly curved inwards and with small spine – like projections on internal margin; fultura inferior distally bifid with distal margin and base concave; lamella antevaginalis with distal margin concave on median region; lamella postvaginalis with lateral margin truncated.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

Eudamus marpesus Hewitson, 1876 was described based on an unspecified number of specimens from Brazil which are part from Otto Staudinger collection. After examined the ZMHU collection, where the Staudinger material is housed, a male syntype corresponding the original description and mistakenly illustrated on Butterflies of America (Warren et al. 2018) as the type specimen of Plesioneura compressa Möschler, 1877 was found with the following labels: / typus / Brasilien / marpesus / P. compressa Moschler [sic] / Coll.

Telemiades marpesus is distinguished from the remaining species of the “ amphion group ” by the following characters: greyish wing pattern; FW with developed hyaline spots and submarginal dark spots from R 3 to 2 A; HW triangular; valva with a developed and rounded distal process covered by spines – like projections; fultura inferior distally bifid with distal margin pointed and base rounded; lamella antevaginalis with distal margin concave at median region but not as in T. fides; lamella postvaginalis with lateral margin slightly thin. Natural history. T. marpesus flies throughout the year.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

0383CD7AFFB3FFD7D790FC903190FC62.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades marpesus is commonly found in forested habitats of Atlantic Forest, in the Brazilian states of Bahia to Rio Grande do Sul, in Misiones, Argentina, and in Paraguay. Taxonomic discussion. Hewitson (1876) described this species in Eudamus; Kirby (1877) transferred the species to Telegonus Hübner, [1819] and later back to Eudamus (= marpessus [sic]) (Kirby 1878). Bell (1949) proposed a new combination, Telemiades amphion marpesus, which has remained in use up to now. Here, we consider T. marpesus a separate species, owing to unique features of the wings and morphology of the male and female genitalia. Examined material.

0383CD7AFFADFFD4D790FC4831A2FDA6.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades misitheus occurs in the eastern Andes, from Chanchamayo (Peru) to Chulumani (Bolivia) in altitudes ranging from 1000 m to 1400 m. Taxonomic discussion. Mabille (1888) described and illustrated Telemiades misitheus, but the illustration was also used in the description of T. megallus, in the same contribution. Later, Bell (1949) considered T. misitheus as a subspecies of T. amphion, an arrangement that has been followed up to now. The wing patterns and the male genitalia can be used to reliably distinguish T. misitheus from other species of the “ amphion group ”. In addition, T. misitheus may occur in sympatry with T. amphion in Bolivia and Peru, which supports the restoration of its status as a separate species. Examined material. No data, 1 male (ZMHU).

Taxonomic discussion. After describing this species, Kirby (1871) transferred it to Antigonus Hübner, [1819] and, later, Watson (1893) transferred it to Ephyriades Hübner, [1819]. Bell (1946) considered pekahia as a variation of Telemiades amphion and, later (Bell 1949), as subspecies of it. The subspecies treatment has been accepted up to now. After examining a series of specimens deposited in the NHMUK, and the type specimen of T. pehakia, the species status is restored based on reliable differences in the wing pattern and morphology of the genitalia.

0383CD7AFFA8FFD0D790FB4632F3FE16.taxon	materials_examined	Type material. Papilio avitus Stoll, 1781 was described and illustrated based on an unspecified number of specimens from Suriname deposited in the van der Meulen collection. In the same study, Stoll (1781) interpretated the specimen from figure E as the female of P. avitus. Later, Hübner [1819] described Telemiades and designated P. avitus as the type species of the genus. Besides, Hübner [1819] interpretated the female of T. avitus figured by Stoll (1781) as a distinct species, describing it as T. epicalus. The syntypes of Telemiades epicalus are deposited at NBC. In contrast, no specimens that could correspond to P. avitus, as identified by Evans (1953), were found in this museum. Thus, a male neotype of Papilio avitus Stoll, 1781 is hereby designated in order to stabilize the identity of this species. The neotype has the same morphological characters than the male figured by Stoll (1781, pl. 354, fig. D), was collected near the same type locality (Suriname) and is deposited at DZUP with the following labels: / Neotypus / II. 1968 Obidos, Pará [Brasil] Kesselring leg / DZ 26.211 / Neotypus Papilio avitus Stoll, 1781 Siewert, Mielke & Casagrande det. 2019 /.

Telemiades avitus occurs in forested areas in the Amazonia, with records in Peru, Brazil (Acre, Amazonas, Pará, and Rondônia states), Suriname, Venezuela and French Guiana. Taxonomic discussion. Hübner ([1819]) described the genus Telemiades and designated Papilio avitus Stoll, 1781 as the type species. In the same publication, Hübner considered the specimen that Stoll (1781) had previously illustrated as the female of P. avitus as a distinct species, which he described as Telemiades epicalus. After the description of T. avitus, the species was transferred to Hesperia Fabricius, 1793 (Latreille [1824]), Goniloba Westwood, [1852] (Westwood 1852) and then to Eudamus Swainson, 1831 (C. Felder & R. Felder 1862). Kirby (1871) transferred it back to Telemiades and later to Eudamus (Kirby 1879). Plötz (1882) returned the species to Telemiades. Telemiades lurideolus Mabille, 1877 was described from an unknown number of specimens from ‘ Brasilia’. Subsequently, Mabille & Boullet (1912) indicated ‘ Amazone sup. ’ as its distribution range. Evans (1953) considered this species as synonymous with T. avitus. After examining type material of T. lurideolus deposited in the NHMUK the synonym with T. avitus has been corroborated.

Austin (1943 – 2009) in recognition of his extensive contribution to our knowledge of Neotropical skippers. Taxonomic discussion. The wing pattern of Telemiades austini, sp. nov. is similar to that observed in the other species of the “ avitus group ” and, for this reason, several authors have mistakenly associated the species with T. avitus. Despite the phenotypic similarity between the two species, T. austini, sp. nov. is easily distinguished from congeners in the “ avitus group ” by several morphological characters (see diagnosis of this species). Its geographical distribution, restricted to Central America, corroborates its status as a separate species.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

0383CD7AFFA5FFDDD790FD2031EBFE6A.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades laogonus is widely distributed in South America, with records in forested areas of French Guiana, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina. Taxonomic discussion. Eudamus laogonus Hewitson, 1876 was transferred to the genus Telegonus Hübner, [1819] by Kirby (1877) and later to Telemiades by Hayward (1947 b). In this same study, Hayward (1947 b) synonymized Proteides nicola Plötz, 1882, Plesioneura lamus Mabille, 1888 and Telemiades simplicius Hayward, 1933 with Telemiades laogonus. After Hayward’s study (1947 b), Plesioneura lamus and Telemiades simplicius were treated as synonyms of Telemiades avitus and T. laogonus by Evans (1953), respectively, while Proteides nicola was interpreted as a subspecies of T. laogonus. The analysis of the type material of P. nicola syn. nov. (besides the series of specimens analyzed here) supports the hypothesis of a synonym of T. laogonus. The character that Evans (1953) used to separate the two subspecies of T. laogonus (presence or absence of the costal spot in FW) is variable. Specimens collected in the same locality may vary with respect to this feature. Examined material. No data: 1 male (ZSM); 1 female, NHMUK 010242373 (NHMUK).

Telemiades vansa is distinguished from the other species of the genus by the following characters: FW with two cellular (upper and lower) and two discal (in M 3 – CuA 1 and CuA 1 – CuA 2) hyaline spots, in some specimens these spots are not so evident; lateral apophysis of the tegumen extending throughout the entire length of uncus; valva with dorso – distal margin with a serrated crest – like projection, curved inwards; aedeagus with dorsal opening with 2 / 3 of its total length; ductus bursae with two rounded and sclerotinized plates.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

0383CD7AFFA7FFDAD790FC2A306EFF12.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades vansa occurs in areas of low altitudes in Amazonia Forest, with records in French Guiana, Suriname, and in the Brazilian states of Amazonas and Pará. There is a unique record from Rolândia, Paraná state, Brazil, but probably this specimen was mislabeled. Taxonomic discussion. After the description of T. vansa, Mielke (1973) recorded it for the first time in Brazil (Belém, Pará) and illustrated the male genitalia. Although this species is phenotypically similar to other species of the genus, for instance T. squanda and T. trenda, the morphology of the male genitalia with the lateral apophysis of the tegumen extending throughout the entire length of uncus is unique within the genus.

0383CD7AFFA0FFE6D790F9B7310DF9CE.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades penidas occurs in forested areas of Amazonia, with records in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Venezuela, Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname, and Brazil. Taxonomic discussion. Eudamus penidas Hewitson, 1867 was transferred to Telemiades by Herrich – Schäffer (1869). In the same work, Herrich – Schäffer described Telemiades ceramina and later Plötz (1882) considered Telegonus mygdon Möschler, 1877 and Telemiades uncinata Plötz, 1882 as synonyms of it. Evans (1953) synonymized T. ceramina, T. mygdon, T. uncinata, Telemiades megalloides Schaus, 1902 and Pythonides hoyti Weeks, 1906 with T. penidas, all of which have been adopted to this day. Analysis of the existing type material of the species mentioned above supports the synonym with T. penidas. Plötz (1882) described Proteides aesopus based on an unknown number of specimens from “ Java ”. After its description, Shepard (1931) transferred P. aesopus to Telemiades and Evans (1947) synonymized it with T. penidas without outlining the reasons for it. Plötz’s specimens are supposedly deposited at ZMHU and ZSM but it was not possible to find specimens of P. aesopus there. The characteristics in the description of P. aesopus agree with T. penidas and, for this reason, the synonymy of the former with the latter remains valid. However, it is possible that “ Java ” is not an accurate locality for the species. The type locality of other species described by Plötz were erroneously interpreted from the original publication: Libra anatolica (Plötz, 1883) described from “ Asia ” (the species occur in south Brazil) and Pyrgus (Syrichtus [sic]) argina Plötz, 1884 (now synonymous with Amblyscirtes hegon (Scudder, 1863 )) described from “ Brisbane ” [Austrália] (occurs in North America).

Despite the phenotypic similarity between T. pallidus sp. nov. and T. penidas, the geographical distribution of both species can be used to distinguish them. The first occurrs from Bahia to Paraná and the latter is in the Amazon. The possibility that T. pallidus sp. nov. is a subspecies of T. penidas (in view of their phenotypic similarity and allopatric distribution) should be discarded due to the significant differences in the morphology of both sexes. In addition, the possibility that T. pallidus sp. nov. is a variation of T. penidas can be discarded, since the morphological differences between the species are constant.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

0383CD7AFF9EFFE3D790F8C3319EFE4E.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades antiope occurs mainly in Amazon Forest areas, with records in Suriname, Peru, and Brazil (states of Acre, Amazonas, Pará, Rondônia, and Maranhão). There are some scarce records in Atlantic Forest areas of the Brazilian states of Pernambuco and Paraíba. Taxonomic discussion. Godman (1907) considered Proteides antiope Plötz, 1882 as a variation of Telemiades amphion. Later, Mabille & Boullet (1912) synonymized P. antiope (= antiopa [sic]) with T. amphion. This proposal was followed until Bell (1949) considered it a distinct species and altered its status. Although it resembles the species of the “ amphion group ”, T. antiope differs phenotypically by lacking the costal spots in FW, in addition to the distinct morphology of the genitalia. Telemiades antiope tosca Evans, 1953, syn. nov. has been treated as a subspecies. Evans (1953) interpreted the reduction of the discal spots in FW as a good character to separate T. antiope antiope from T. a. tosca. A detailed study of the morphology of T. a. tosca and a comparison with specimens of T. a. antiope (including holotype), has revealed that there is variability in the size of the discal spots in FW. For this reason, T. a. tosca is here interpreted as a new synonym of T. antiope. Evans (1953) erroneously interpreted Telemiades lamus (Mabille, 1888), syn. nov. as a synonym of T. avitus (Stoll, 1781), probably due to the similarity between the females. However, T. lamus is here considered a new synonym of T. antiope, a hypothesis that has been corroborated after examination of the type material of both species. Examined material.

0383CD7AFF99FFE1D790FE6C33D3FDDE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Telemiades atlantiope Siewert, Mielke & Casagrande, sp. nov. resembles T. antiope but is distinguished by the following characters: larger wingspan; tegumen shorter; valva longer; saccus with anterior projection round- ed; fultura inferior slightly expanded ventrally; dorsal opening of aedeagus 2 / 3 the length of aedeagus. The distribution pattern in Atlantic Forest areas also differs T. atlantiope from the other species of “ antiope group ”. However, the females of T. atlantiope and T. xantho are phenotypically similar and occurs in sympatry, but could be distinguished by the development of the apical hyaline spots in FW (larger in T. xantho); by the dark spot in discal area in VFW in CuA 2 – 2 A (darker in T. xantho) and by the absence of the submarginal band in VFW in R 5 – 2 A.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

Valva rectangular, twice as long as wide; costa rectangular; distal process of harpe triangular, with distal margin serrated and dorsal margin irregular; sacculus rectangular, about 1 / 3 the length of valva. Fultura inferior distally bifid, with distal margin rounded and ventral portion slightly expanded. Aedeagus cylindrical, sinuous on proximal half; insertion of manica in third proximal of aedeagus; opening for ejaculatory bulb rounded; distal margin truncated; opening for vesica dorsal, about 2 / 3 of size of aedeagus; cornuti as numerous spines, disposed in lines. Female genitalia (Fig. 192): tergum VIII rounded; papilla analis covered by scales on apical third; posterior apophysis twice as longer than papilla. Lamella antevaginales rectangular. Lamela postvaginalis rectangular, distal margin slightly concave, forming two lobes. Ductus bursae membranous, sclerotized proximally of ostium, and with a sclerotized thin – like plate with 2 / 3 of its central length; corpus bursae membranous and globular, with same size of ductus; 2 / 3 of proximal region rough. Signa absent. Variation. As in T. antiope, some specimens varies in wingspan and in the development of hyaline spots in FW.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

0383CD7AFF99FFE1D790FE6C33D3FDDE.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the Atlantic Forest Biome, where this species is registered, in addition to its relationship to T. antiope. Taxonomic discussion. The females of T. atlantiope sp. nov. resemble females of T. xantho. Additionally, both species occur in sympatry, which may hinder their correct identification. However, the size of the apical spots (larger in T. xantho), the presence of a dark brown discal spot in CuA 2 – 2 A and the absence of submarginal spots between R 5 – 2 A of VFW are external characters that distinguish T. atlantiope sp. nov. from T. xantho.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

This species is named to honor Gerardo Lamas for his extensive contribution and dedication to our knowledge of many groups of Neotropical butterflies. Taxonomic discussion. Several authors have mistakenly associated Telemiades lamasi sp. nov. with T. antiope (see catalogue). Despite the similarity between the two species, T. lamasi sp. nov. can be easily distinguished by several characters, mainly by the morphology of the genitalia of both sexes, and by its geographical distribution.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

0383CD7AFF95FFEAD790FB5B37BAFF3E.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades corbulo has been recorded in Panama, Peru, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and Brazil, commonly found in Amazonian forested areas from Amazonia. Taxonomic discussion. Papilio corbulo Stoll, 1781 has been transferred to Celaenorrhinus (Hübner [1819]), Hesperia (Verloren 1837), Nisoniades (Westwood 1852), Achlyodes (Kirby 1871), Pellicia (Möschler 1877), Telemiades (Mabille 1878) and Anastrus (Watson 1893). Later, Mabille (1903) described Pyrdalus and designated P. corbulo as the type species of the genus. This proposal was followed until Burns & Janzen (2005) considered Pyrdalus a junior synonym of Telemiades, consequently transferring the species again to the latter. As discussed by Burns & Janzen (2005), T. corbulo and T. oiclus form a subgroup of Telemiades and, although they have unique characters (such as the secondary androconial organs in males), these features do not seem important enough to put them into a separate genus. The morphology of the male and female genitalia is characteristic of Telemiades. Its synonym, Eudamus praestes Hewitson, 1876, was transferred to Telegonus (Kirby 1877) and again to Eudamus (Kirby 1879). Williams & Bell (1933) synonymized E. praestes with Pyrdalus corbulo.

Telemiades insulsus is distinguished from other species of the “ corbulo group ” by the ground color light brown without bluish and purple reflections in both sexes and by the apical hyaline spots irregular in females.

0383CD7AFF91FFE8D790FBAC373FFE86.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades insulsus occurs in areas of the Brazilian Cerrado, with records in the states of Mato Grosso, Goiás, Distrito Federal, and Minas Gerais. Taxonomic discussion. Pythonides insulsus Draudt, 1922 was synonymized with T. corbulo by Evans (1953) and remained a synonym of it. Mielke (1993) and Mielke & Schroeder (1994) dissected and illustrated the genitalia of the holotype of P. insulsus. The genitalia are very different from that of T. corbulo but it has the phenotypic pattern of the females of the “ corbulo group ”. Mielke (1993) suggested that the dissected abdomen may belong to another species. The irregular hyaline marks in the female holotype of P. insulsus is a constant feature in specimens from the Brazilian Cerrado. In addition, males from the same location are also similar to their female counterparts, and the morphology of the male and female genitalia of these individuals differs from other species of the corbulo group. Thus, T. insulsus stat. rev. is here interpreted as a distinct species from the other species of the same group, and its status is revalidated. Examined material.

0383CD7AFF92FFE9D790FE2430FAFEDA.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades oiclus occurs in Central America, with records in Honduras, Costa Rica, and Panama. Taxonomic discussion. After its description, Achlyodes oiclus Mabille, 1889 was transferred to Ouleus Lindsey, 1925 by Shepard (1934). Later, Steinhauser (1989) returned the species to Achlyodes Hübner, [1819]. Evans (1953) erroneously interpreted Achlyodes oiclus as a subspecies of Bolla phylo. Analysis of the material deposited in the NHMUK, revealed that the specimen studied by Evans is Staphylus lizeri album Steinhauser, 1989. In the same study, Evans (1953) described Pyrdalus corbulo cora. Recently, Burns & Janzen (2005) transferred the name oiclus to Telemiades and synonymized P. c. cora with T. oiclus. The examination of the holotype of P. c. cora confirms the synonymy. As discussed by Burns & Janzen (2005), T. oiclus forms a subgroup of Telemiades together with T. corbulo, T. insulsus and T. quammeni. Although they exhibit unique characters within the genus, such as androconial organs on the wings of the male, the morphology of the male and female genitalia is characteristic of Telemiades.

Telemiades choricus is the only known species of the “ epicalus group ” occurying in Central America. The males have the aedeagus with dorso – lat-eral left margin serrated and VHW of females with a whitish patch covering half of its posterior surface. Natural history. Immatures of T. choricus were erroneously illustrated as T. megallus by Janzen & Hallwachs (2009) at Area de Conservación de Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The specimens were registered on the following Inga (Fabaceae) species: I. edulis, I. leiocalycina, I. mortoniana, I. oerstediana, I. punctata, I. samanensis, I. sapindoides, I. spectabilis e I. umbellifera.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

0383CD7AFF8CFFF7D790FB7E30FFF8F6.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades choricus occurs in Central America, with records from Mexico to Panama, and one single record in Colombia. Taxonomic discussion. Evans (1953: 179) interpreted Grais choricus Schaus, 1902 as a subspecies of G. stigmaticus (Mabille, 1883). In the same study, Evans (1953: 27, plate 27) illustrated the male genitalia of T. choricus and misinterpreted it as T. epicalus megallus. This probably happened because females of T. choricus and males of T. megallus are very similar externally. Subsequently, Steinhauser (1989: 14, figures 13 – 16) transferred the species to Telemiades, describing and illustrating in detail the male and female of T. choricus and the male of T. megallus.

0383CD7AFF8DFFF0D790F8C83702FE86.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades epicalus occurs in forested areas of South America, with records in Trinidad (Trinidad and Tobago), Venezuela, Bolivia, Peru, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and in the Brazilian states of Amazonas, Acre, Pará, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pernambuco, Bahia, and Espírito Santo. Taxonomic discussion. Hübner ([1819]) described Telemiades and designated Papilio avitus Stoll, 1781 as the type species of the genus. He also considered the female specimen illustrated by Stoll (1781: figure 354 E) as a distinct species from Papilio avitus and described it as Telemiades epicalus. The species erroneously interpreted as the female of P. avitus was described from an unknown number of specimens from Suriname, which were part of the van der Meulen collection. When France was occupied during the war (1793 – 1813), many biological collections were either auctioned or simply disappeared and, with them, many types described by Cramer and Stoll were lost. At that time, Joan Calkoen was able to gather a significant number of specimens from other collections, making it possible to recover many types from Cramer and Stoll. After his death, the collection was incorporated into the NBC, along with a catalog written by Calkoen himself (Jong 2005). After examination of the material of the NBC collection, two specimens that correspond to the type series of T. epicalus were located, making the designation of a lectotype possible. Five names proposed later, Eudamus phasias Hewitson, 1867, Telemiades arcturus Herrich – Schäffer, 1869, Eumesia potomoni Ehrmann, 1907 Telemiades diores Mabille & Boullet, 1912 and Telemiades diores var. obscurus Mabille & Boullet, 1912, have been considered synonyms of T. epicalus since Evans (1953), except for T. arcturus, which was synonymized by Plötz (1882). Steinhauser (1989) pointed out that E. phasias could be a distinct species from T. epicalus and suggested that the genitalia of the holotype of E. phasias should be examined with the purpose of confirming its taxonomic position. The examination of the holotype of E. phasias deposited in the NHMUK confirmed the synonymy with T. epicalus. Echelatus punctatus Mabille & Boullet, 1917, syn. nov. was treated as a synonym of Telemiades nicomedes (Möschler, 1879) by Evans (1953) and has remained in this status until the present study. Olaf H. H. Mielke, after analysis of the type material at the MNHN collection found that E. punctatus is synonymous with T. epicalus. Subsequently, T. epicalus was transferred to the genera Hesperia Fabricius, 1793 (Latreille [1824]), Goniloba Westwood, [1852] (Westwood 1852) and Eudamus Swainson, 1831 (C. Felder & R. Felder 1862). Kirby (1871) transferred it back to Telemiades and later to Eudamus (Kirby 1879). Plötz (1882) returned the species to Telemiades. Examined material.

0383CD7AFF8AFFF0D790FE243224F97D.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades sila is known from Central and Northern South America, with records in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador. Taxonomic discussion. Telemiades sila was described as a subspecies of T. epicalus (Evans 1953). The differences pointed out by Evans (1953) in the morphology of the wing and the male genitalia prompted Steinhauser (1989) to interpret T. sila as a species distinct from T. epicalus. The diagnostic characters of T. sila that separate it from T. epicalus include darker ground color of DW, with more conspicuous spots, asymmetric valvae and tegumen with one pair of lateral apophysis (Evans 1953, Steinhauser 1989). Through the examination of the holotype and one of the paratyes of T. sila, which are deposited in the NHMUK, it was possible to verify that the valvae are not asymmetrical, as stated in their original description (Evans 1953). However, the tegumen with only one pair of lateral apophysis was confirmed. The wing pattern of T. sila is similar to the wing pattern of some examined specimens of T. epicalus. In order to reliably separate both species, the examination of the male genitalia is necessary. The females of T. sila remain unknown. Examined material.

This species is named to honor Clinton Richard Dawkins, an English biologist, and author of several books, including The Selfish Gene, The Extended Phenotype, and The God Delusion. Taxonomic discussion. Telemiades dawkinsi sp. nov. is the only species of the “ epicalus group ” with distribution in areas of the Atlantic Forest. In addition, there are significant differences in the male and female genitalia when compared to other species of the “ epicalus group ”, thus discarding the possibility of T. dawkinsi sp. nov. being a subspecies or a variation of T. epicalus.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

0383CD7AFF80FFFAD790FDA537B3F8D2.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades centrites has its known distribution on the east side of the Andes on Ecuador, with records on the provinces of Bolívar and Pastaza. The specific records include the Biological Reserve of Jatun Sacha (Murray 2000), the Pastaza River, in Abitagua (Warren et al. 2016), and in Balzapamba. Taxonomic discussion. Eudamus centrites has been transferred to Telegonus by Kirby (1871), Thymele by Mabille & Boullet (1912), Astraptes by Williams & Hayward (1944) and lastly, to Telemiades by Evans (1953). Although T. centrites resembles some species of Astraptes (e. g. A. anaphus (Cramer, 1777) and A. phalaecus (Godman & Salvin, 1893 )), the genitalia can be used to correctly separate it from them.

0383CD7AFF80FFFBD790F8D83173FAA8.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades chrysorrhoea is known only from Chiriquí, Panama, and from Conservation Area of Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Taxonomic discussion. Thymele chrysorrhoea Godman & Salvin, 1893 was first transferred to Telegonus (Shepard 1931). Next, it was synonymized by Evans (1953) with Telemiades centrites gallius. This synonym was accepted until Burns & Janzen (2005), who removed T. chrysorrhoea from it and re – established the status of Telemiades gallius. The analysis of the type material of T. chrysorrhoea and Telemiades gallius reinforces the interpretation of Burns & Janzen (2005), who treated them as distinct species from T. centrites. Despite its similarity with T. gallius, T. chrysorrhoea can be easily distinguished from the former by the absence or reduction of the three apical hyaline spots in R 3 – R 4, R 4 – R 5 and R 5 – M 1 in FW and by the orange spot on the outer margin in HW. Besides morphological characters, Burns & Janzen (2005) indicated that molecular data also corroborate the distinction between the two species. Although occurring in sympatry, T. chrysorrhoea is typical of nebulous forest environments, occurring between 800 – 1400 m, while T. gallius is considered rare and occurs in wet forest areas between 600 – 900 m in the Area de Conservación de Guanacaste, Costa Rica (Burns & Janzen 2005).

0383CD7AFF81FFF8D790FA0E3079FD0A.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades contra is known from the Ecuatorian Provinces of Bolívar, Morona Santiago, and Pastaza. Taxonomic discussion. Originally, Telemiades contra was described as a subspecies of T. centrites by Evans (1953). However, the morphology of the male genitalia of T. contra (examined) differs from the illustration of T. centrites (Evans 1953). Several wing characters already discussed, also distinguish the two species. In addition, Li et al. (2019) justified its new species status by molecular data. T. centrites and T. contra may occur in sympatry, since both species have been found in the Ecuadorian provinces of Bolívar and Pastaza. Since only a single female specimen of T. contra was available for examination, this material was not dissected and for this reason, no illustrations are provided for the female genitalia of this species.

0383CD7AFF82FFF9D790FC903080FDDE.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades gallius was recorded in Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia. Taxonomic discussion. Telegonus gallius Mabille, 1888 has been transferred to the genera Thymele (Godman & Salvin 1893) and Astraptes (Hayward 1947 c). Subsequently, Evans (1953) transferred it to Telemiades and interpreted it as a subspecies of Telemiades centrites (Hewitson, 1870). In addition, Evans (1953) synonymized T. chrysorrhoea with T. centrites gallius. Burns & Janzen (2005) raised Telemiades gallius back to species and took T. chrysorrhoea out of the synonym. The analysis of the type material of T. gallius and T. chrysorrhoea reinforces the interpretation of Burns & Janzen (2005) who treated them as a distinct species from T. centrites. Besides the morphological characters, Burns & Janzen (2005) indicated that the distinction between the two species is corroborated by molecular data. In the Area de Conservación de Guanacaste, Costa Rica, T. gallius is considered rare and occurs in rainforest areas between 600 – 900 m, while T. chrysorrhoea is typical of a misty forest environment occurring between 800 – 1400 m (Burns & Janzen 2005).

0383CD7AFFFDFF84D790FCB73716FE6A.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades megallus occurs in Amazonian forest areas, with records in Panama, Colombia, and French Guiana. Taxonomic discussion. In the original description, Telemiades megallus Mabille, 1888 was erroneously illustrated as T. misitheus (also described in the same work and illustrated as T. megallus). Evans (1953: 27, Plate 27) misinterpreted T. megallus as a subspecies of T. epicalus. The drawing of the male genitalia of T. epicalus megallus by Evans (1953) makes it clear that the species being illustrated was T. choricus. This probably happened in view of the similarity between T. choricus females and T. megallus males. Later, Steinhauser (1975, 1989) restored the specific status of T. megallus, describing and detailing the male, and also the male and female of T. choricus. Contrary to what Steinhauser (1975, 1989) wrote, the holotype of T. megallus is a male. Examined material. PANAMA: Panama — Gamboa, 16 – X – 1979, 1 male, Robbins leg., OM 29.669 * (DZUP – OM).

Telemiades squanda resembles T. meris and T. trenda but is easily distinguished by DFW with purple reflection and the morphological pattern of male and female genitalias. T. squanda differs from T. megallus by the absence of the spine – like developed projection in the valva, and from T. moa Siewert, Mielke & Casagrande, sp. nov. by the white patch in VHW.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

0383CD7AFFFEFF85D790FDB0376CFC2A.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Telemiades squanda is widely distributed in South America, with records in Peru, Bolivia, Guyana, Brazil, and Argentina. Taxonomic discussion. Telemiades squanda was erroneously associated with Telemiades purpurascens Mabille & Boullet, 1912 [Emmelus purpurascens] by Hayward (1947 a, 1948, 1973) and Canals (2003). Emmelus purpurascens is phenotypically similar to T. squanda but can be readily distinguished by the yellowish coloration of the labial palps and the first pair of legs, in conjunction with the morphological pattern of the genitalia. The holotype of T. squanda is from Saquarema, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, while the paratypes are from Guyana, Bolivia and the Brazilian states of Amazonas, Pará and Goiás. The phenotype of the holotype differs from the paratypes in the ground color and development of the apical hyaline spots in FW. The analysis of the genitalia of the paratypes (except the female from the Amazon) revealed no differences with respect to the holotype. It was not possible to dissect the female paratype from Ega [Tefé], Amazonas. However, two females (deposited in the DZUP) also from Amazonas, were dissected, and revealed the same features as the paratype, but distinct from the female of T. squanda from Rio de Janeiro (same site as the holotype), and from the “ megallus group ”. Therefore, the female from the Amazon may represent an undescribed species. The application of molecular tools for the correct pairing of these specimens is encouraged. Examined material.

Telemiades nicomedes occurs in forested areas of Atlantic Forest, with records in Argentina and in the Brazilian states of Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. Taxonomic discussion. After its decription, Telegonus nicomedes was transferred to Telemiades by Mabille & Boullet (1912). Evans (1953) erroneously interpreted T. nicomedes as Telemiades vespasius (Fabricius, 1793) and his interpretation was followed by several authors. The specimen illustrated by Jones (Jones’ Icones 1785 – 1787) and which was used for the description of Hesperia vespasius does not correspond to any species of Telemiades, but to a species of Augiades (Siewert et al. in prep.). By misinterpretation, Evans (1953) synonymized Hesperia curtius Fabricius, 1793 and Eudamus phlius Plötz, 1881, syn. nov. with T. vespasius. The examination of the type material of Eudamus phlius corroborates its synonymy with T. nicomedes, which type material was also examined. However, some of the material described by Fabricius was based only on Jones’ Icones figures, and in such cases, there are no type specimens (O. Karsholt, com. pess.). This applies also to H. curtius: the figure shown for this species does not correspond to any species of Telemiades (Siewert et al. in prep.). Examined material.

0383CD7AFFF6FF8AD790FB9F302EFBF2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. FW length: males 16 – 19 mm (n = 35) and females 20 mm (n = 1). Telemiades meris resembles T. squanda and T. trenda but is distinguished by the morphological pattern of genitalia. Males has symmetrical valvae, with distal portion pointed and slightly curved inwards, and smooth aedeagus. The general morphological pattern of male genitalia is similar to T. brazus, but is distinguished by the smaller size of distal portion of valva, and by the shape of the elevation of the inner portion of valva (vertical in T. meris and horizontal in T. brazus).	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

Some specimens collected at State Park of Morro do Diabo, Teodoro Sampaio, São Paulo, Brazil, has the ground color light brown and the spots darker. Also, the distal portion of valva could be more developed and rounded in some males. Natural history. Moss (1949) erroneously associated the immatures of T. meris with T. nicomedes. Immatures have been reported on Inga pilosula and Zygia cauliflora (Fabaceae). The specimens studied by Arthur Miles Moss are deposited at the NHMUK and the study of the adults identified by him as T. nicomedes, confirm its real identity as T. meris.	en	Siewert, Ricardo Russo, Mielke, Olaf Hermann Hendrik, Casagrande, Mirna Martins (2020): Taxonomic revision of the Neotropical genus Telemiades Hübner, [1819] (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Eudaminae), with descriptions of fourteen new species.

Taxonomic discussion. Arteurotia meris Plötz 1886 was transferred to Pellicia Herrich – Schäffer, 1870 by Draudt (1922) and there it remained until Evans (1953) transferred it to Telemiades as a synonym of T. nicomedes. Several authors mistakenly associated T. meris with T. nicomedes. However, the morphology of both species is clearly distinct, a fact that led Mielke & Casagrande (1998) to re – establish the specific status of T. meris. Examined material.

Telemiades brazus occurs in forested areas of Atlantic Forest of Paraguay, Argentina, and in the Brazilian States of Mato Grosso, Minais Gerais, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. Taxonomic discussion. Plötz (1881) described Eudamus nicomedes based on an unknown number of specimens from Brazil. However, the name is pre – occupied by Telegonus nicomedes Möschler, 1879, now a species of Telemiades. Bell (1949) described Telemiades brazus and later Evans (1953) treated it as a subspecies of Telemiades nicomedes (Möschler, 1879). In the same work, Evans (1953) synonymized Eudamus nicomedes Plötz, 1881 with T. nicomedes brazus. The unpublished figure of Eudamus nicomedes Plötz, 1881 confirms its synonymy with Telemiades brazus Bell, 1949. Mielke & Casagrande (1998) analyzed the holotype of Telemiades meris (Plötz, 1886) and based on the similarity of the morphology of the male genitalia, considered T. brazus as a subspecies of T. meris. However, the external morphological differences between both species are constant. In addition, Li et al. (2019) justified its reinstated species status by molecular data. Examined material.

DHW (Fig. 140): ground color brown; two discal dark brown rounded spots in lower cell and CuA 2 – 2 A; six dark brown submarginal spots as an irregular band in Rs – M 1, M 1 – M 2, M 2 – M 3, M 3 – CuA 1, CuA 1 – CuA 2 and CuA 2 – 2 A. VFW (Fig. 141): as DFW; ground color light brown; spots darker. VHW (Fig. 141): as DHW; ground color light brown; spots darker; dark brown spot in anal region. Abdome: dorsally dark brown; ventrally dark brown and yellow. Male genitalia (Fig. 179): tegumen rounded; posterior margin with two pairs of lateral apophysis extending to half of uncus, the proximal pair flat and four times larger than distal pair in dorsal view. Anterior projection of saccus triangular, anterior margin rounded. Uncus rectangular, about same size of tegumen; posterior margin with two rounded lateral apophysis and with central region truncated. Valva rectangular, twice as long as wide; costa rectangular; dorso – distal region of valva as a spine – like projection curved inwards and distal region alongated and sharp; sacculus rectangular, about 1 / 2 the length of valva. Fultura inferior distally bifid, with distal margin rounded and ventral portion truncated. Aedeagus cylindrical; insertion of manica in the middle of aedeagus; opening for ejaculatory bulb rounded; distal margin truncated; opening for vesica dorsal and lateral left, about 1 / 3 of size of aedeagus; cornuti as two lines of sharp spines, the first smaller.
