Aethilla weymeri Plötz, 1882 View in CoL is a junior subjective synonym of Telegonus (Rhabdoides) chiriquensis Staudinger, 1875

Genomic phylogeny of Telegonus (Rhabdoides) Scudder, 1889 (type species Eudamus cellus Boisduval & Le Conte, [1837] ), reveals that the lectotype of Aethilla weymeri Plötz, 1882 (type locality not stated, likely in Panama: Chiriquí, sequenced as NVG-24028C11) is placed among specimens of Telegonus (Rhabdoides) chiriquensis Staudinger, 1875 (type locality in Panama: Chiriquí, lectotype sequenced as NVG-24028C04) ( Fig. 61). Therefore, we propose that Aethilla weymeri Plötz, 1882 is a junior subjective synonym of Telegonus (Rhabdoides) chiriquensis Staudinger, 1875 , as regarded by Evans (1952).
