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).
