Tigasis coda Evans, 1955 belongs to the genus Gallio Evans, 1955

Genomic phylogeny of Moncina A. Warren, 2008 reveals that Tigasis coda Evans, 1955 ( type locality in Ecuador) is not monophyletic with Tigasis Godman, 1900 ( type species Tigasis zalates Godman, 1900 ) and instead originates within Gallio Evans, 1955 ( type species Stomyles gallio Mabille, 1904 , which is a junior subjective synonym of Vehilius carasta Schaus, 1902 ) and is sister to the clade consisting from Gallio garima (Schaus, 1902) ( type locality in Trinidad) and Gallio massarus (E. Bell, 1940) ( type locality in Brazil: Santa Catarina) ( Fig. 35). Therefore, we place T. coda in the genus Gallio to form Gallio coda (Evans, 1955) , comb. nov.

from Phlebodes fuldai (E. Bell, 1930)

Genomic sequencing and analysis reveal that Vettius yalta Evans, 1955 ( type locality in Brazil: Espírito Santo) is genetically differentiated from Euroto fuldai Bell, 1930 ( type locality in Colombia: Simiti), currently in the genus Phlebodes Hübner, [1819] ( type species Papilio pertinax Stoll, 1781 ), at the species level ( Fig. 36), e.g., their COI barcodes differ by 4.3% (28 bp). Therefore, we propose that Phlebodes yalta (Evans, 1955) , stat. rest. is a species distinct from Phlebodes fuldai (E. Bell, 1930) .
