Telegonus anausis annetta ( Evans, 1952 )

Zhang, Jing, Cong, Qian, Shen, Jinhui, Opler, Paul A. & Grishin, Nick V., 2020, Genomic evidence suggests further changes of butterfly names, The Taxonomic Report of the International Lepidoptera Survey 8 (7), pp. 1-41 : 28

Telegonus anausis annetta ( Evans, 1952) is its subspecies are 4.3% (28 bp) different between anaphus and annetta, which is larger than a typical difference between closely related species. Comparing subspecies within the second cluster (Fig. 25 red clade), we were not able to gather evidence for their change of status to species. For instance, Fst/Gmin of anausis vs. annetta is 0.16/0.11, which by itself does not justify Central American annetta as a species distinct from the Caribbean anausis . Therefore, we reinstate Telegonus anausis Godman & Salvin, 1896 as a species and transfer all (except the nominotypical) subspecies currently placed in T. anaphus to T. anausis to form the following new combinations: Telegonus anausis annetta ( Evans, 1952) , Telegonus anausis anoma ( Evans, 1952) , and Telegonus anausis aniza ( Evans, 1952) . A curious accident here is that as a result of genomic work, the name originally proposed ( Godman and Salvin 1896) as Telegonus anausis is now returned to its original combination and status nearly 125 years later.
