Teenie Grishin, new genus

http://zoobank.org/ BDF61309-B594-4355-B2ED-306025A2E8D9

Type species. Calydna tinea Bates, 1868 .

Definition. Currently in the genus Zabuella Stichel, 1911 (type species Lemonias tenellus Burmeister, 1878 ) as suggested by Hall (2018), this group is not monophyletic with it and is sister to Hallonympha Penz & DeVries, 2006 (type species Apodemia paucipuncta Spitz, 1930 ), but prominently differs from it genetically and thus constitutes a genus (Fig. 28). Diagnostic characters for the new genus are as those detailed for Z. tinea and Z. argiella in Hall (2018). Briefly, similar to Zabuella and Hallonympha in wing patterns and genitalia, but aedeagus narrower, and signa highly asymmetrical both in position and size.

Etymology. The name is a feminine noun in the nominative singular inspired by the type species name.

Species included. The type species (including Lemonias eudocia Godman & Salvin, 1897 as it synonym) and Calydna argiella Bates, 1868 .

Parent taxon. Subtribe Zabuellina Seraphim, Freitas & Kaminski, 2018 .
