Teratophthalmina Grishin, new subtribe

http://zoobank.org/ 8C350BD8-8094-472C-9C17-70A9C2023D20

Type genus. Teratophthalma Stichel, 1909 View in CoL .

Definition. Currently placed in the subtribe Eunogyrina Grishin, 2021, Teratophthalma View in CoL (type species Mesosemia phelina C. Felder & R. Felder, 1862 View in CoL ) is indeed sister to its type genus Eunogyra Westwood, 1851 View in CoL , but is rather distant from it both genetically ( Fig. 17) and phenotypically, and therefore represents a subtribe of its own. The description and diagnostic characters of this new subtribe are as those given for Teratophthalma View in CoL on pages 76–77 (illustrated in Fig. 11) by Stichel (1910). In brief, the subtribe belongs to Mesosemiini View in CoL (see Hall (2003) for Teratophthalma View in CoL ) and is diagnosed by the following combination of characters: wings without multiple narrow bands, eyespots at the end of the forewing discal cell but not along wing margins; genitalic valvae short (as long as tegumen) and triangular, simple with pointed apex, genomic base pairs is diagnostic: cne 1792.4.2:T805C, cne11317.11.9:A512G, cne12569.1.1:T2145C, cne599.10.1:A4814T, cne 1398.1.1:C838G.

Genera included. Only the type genus.

Parent Taxon. Tribe Mesosemiini Bates, 1859 .

Argyrogrammanina Grishin, new subtribe

http://zoobank.org/ FA7881EE-0382-4796-9C6B-A10B4C08B0A1

Type genus. Argyrogrammana Strand, 1932 View in CoL .

Definition. Argyrogrammana View in CoL (type species Erycina stilbe Godart, 1824 ) is prominently differentiated genetically from the rest of Symmachiini Reuter, 1896 View in CoL ( Fig. 17), and we propose that the lineage containing Argyrogrammana View in CoL is a subtribe. This new subtribe differs from other Symmachiini View in CoL by a thin submarginal line of (sometimes fused) metallic (golden or silvery-blue) spots on both wings above and beneath and a dark medial stripe across the eyes ( Hall and Willmott 1996). A combination of the
