Ceratricula Larsen, 2013 is a junior subjective synonym of Paronymus Aurivillius, 1925
The genus Ceratricula Larsen, 2013 (type species Ceratrichia semilutea Mabille, 1891 ) forms a tight clade within Paronymus Aurivillius, 1925 (type species Hesperia ligora Hewitson, 1876 ) that is a confident sister to Paronymus xanthias (Mabille, 1891) (type locality in Nigeria) ( Figs. 45, 46) rendering Paronymus paraphyletic. To restore the monophyly, we propose that Ceratricula Larsen, 2013 , syn. nov. is a junior subjective synonym of Paronymus Aurivillius, 1925 .
