Zenonoida Fan & Chiba, 2016 is a subgenus of Zenonia Evans, 1935

Genomic trees reveal that genetic differentiation between Zenonia Evans, 1935 (type species Pamphila zeno Trimen, 1864 ) and Zenonoida Fan & Chiba, 2016 (type species Hesperia eltola Hewitson, 1869 ) is smaller than that within their sister genus Zinaida Evans, 1937 (type species Parnara nascens Leech, 1893 ) and places the former two at the subgenus tree level ( Fig. 50). COI barcodes of their type species differ by 8.8% (58 bp). Furthermore, these genera are phenotypically close, and neither of them includes a large number of species. Therefore, we propose that Zenonoida Fan & Chiba, 2016 , stat. nov. is a subgenus of Zenonia Evans, 1935 .
