Perus narycus (Mabille, 1889) , new combination

Presently in Ouleus Lindsey, 1925 ( type species Achlyodes fridericus Geyer, 1832 ), Pythonides narycus Mabille, 1889 ( type locality Peru: Chanchamayo) is not monophyletic with it, and is not even in the tribe Achlyodini Burmeister, 1878 where Ouleus belongs ( Fig. 5 ). Instead, P. narycus belongs to the tribe Carcharodini Verity, 1940, where it is sister to Perus Grishin, 2019 ( type species Pholisora cordillerae Lindsey, 1925 ), and where we place it to form Perus narycus (Mabille, 1889) , new combination. Thus, we find that yet another species from Peru belongs to Perus .
