Thisbe Hübner, [1819] is a subgenus of Lemonias Hübner, [1807]

Currently treated as a genus, Thisbe Hübner, 1819 (type species Papilio belise Stoll, 1782 , which is a junior subjective synonym of Papilio irenea Stoll, 1780 ) is genetically differentiated from Lemonias Hübner, [1807] (type species Lemonias zygia Hübner, 1807 ) at the subgenus level ( Fig. 23 cyan); e.g., their COI barcodes differ by 8.4% (55 bp). Therefore, we propose that Thisbe Hübner, 1819 stat. nov. is a subgenus of Lemonias Hübner, [1807] . Moreover, we find that Thisbe , as currently circumscribed, is not monophyletic ( Fig. 23 red and cyan labeled in bright purple), and some species included in Thisbe belong to distinct genera, as elaborated upon in the next section.
