Galerga ariel (Mabille, 1878) , new combination

Currently in Xanthodisca Aurivillius, 1925 (type species Astictopterus vibius Hewitson, 1878 ), Pamphila ariel Mabille, 1878 (type locality in Madagascar) is not monophyletic with it and instead originates deep within Galerga Mabille, 1898 (type species Galerga hyposticta Mabille, 1898 ) ( Figs. 45, 46), where we place it as Galerga ariel (Mabille, 1878) , comb. nov.

Afrotropical species of Astictopterus C. Felder & R. Felder, 1890 belong to Isoteinon C. Felder & R. Felder, 1862

Genomic trees reveal that Afrotropical species currently placed in Astictopterus C. Felder & R. Felder, 1860 (type species Astictopterus jama C. Felder & R. Felder, 1860 ) are not monophyletic with it and Felder & R. Felder, 1862) ( Fig. 45, 46). Therefore, to restore monophyly, we transfer these species from Astictopterus to Isoteinon , forming the following new combinations: Isoteinon anomoeus (Plötz, 1879) , comb. nov. (type locality in Ghana), Isoteinon bruno ( Evans, 1937) , comb. nov. (type locality in Tanzania), Isoteinon inornatus (Trimen, 1864) , comb. nov. (type locality in South Africa), and Isoteinon punctulata (A. Butler, 1895) , comb. nov. (type locality in Tanzania).
