“…Such structures have been used in several taxonomic studies on satyrine butterflies to species delimitation, based on its presence, shape, colour and position (i.e. Zubek & Pyrcz 2011;Aguila et al 2012;Freitas et al 2013), and play a role on sexual selection by dissemination of pheromones to influence female behaviour (Hall & Harvey 2002). However, futures studies might be focused on ultrastructure comparative morphology of the scales from androconial patch, and chemical composition analysis of pheromones to evaluate the characters are among "Pierella lamia species group".…”

Euptychiina is the most species-rich subtribe of Neotropical Satyrinae, with over 450 known species in 47 genera (14 monotypic). Here, we use morphological characters to examine the phylogenetic relationships within Euptychiina. Taxonomic sampling included 105 species representing the majority of the genera, as well as five outgroups. A total of 103 characters were obtained: 45 from wing pattern, 48 from genitalia and 10 from wing venation. The data matrix was analysed using maximum parsimony under both equal and extended implied weights. Euptychiina was recovered as monophyletic with ten monophyletic genera, contrasting previous DNA sequence-based phylogenies that did not recover the monophyly of the group. In agreement with sequence-based hypotheses, however, three main clades were recognized: the 'Megisto clade' with six monophyletic and three polyphyletic genera, the 'Taygetis clade' with nine genera of which three were monophyletic, and the 'Pareuptyhia clade' with four monophyletic and two polyphyletic genera. This is the first morphology-based phylogenetic hypothesis for Euptychiina and the results will be used to complement molecular data in a combined analysis and to provide critical synapomorphies for clades and genera in this taxonomically confused group.

A new genus of Euptychiina, Emeryus Zacca, Casagrande & Mielke, gen. nov., is herein described using an integrative taxonomic approach to accommodate three species previously placed in Paryphthimoides Forster, 1964: Emeryus argulus argulus (Godart, [1824]), comb. nov. (type species), Emeryus difficilis (Forster, 1964), comb. nov. and Emeryus numeria (C. Felder & R. Felder, 1867), comb. nov. Additionally, a new taxon Emeryus argulus magnum Zacca, Casagrande & Mielke, ssp. nov. from Venezuela (Aragua and Bolívar) and Brazil (Roraima), is described. A neotype is designated for Satyrus argulus Godart, [1824], and lectotypes are designated for Euptychia huebneri Butler, 1867, Euptychia ambigua Butler, 1867 and Neonympha numeria C. Felder & R. Felder, 1867. Female genitalia are described and illustrated for the first time for all of the above taxa. A Maximum Likelihood analysis using combined nuclear and mitochondrial genes supports the monophyly of the new genus. No DNA sequences could be obtained for E. numeria, but its inclusion in the genus is supported by morphological evidence. The genitalic morphology of both sexes of Emeryus species is helpful in distinguishing this genus from the other Euptychiina, although the male genitalia structures are highly conserved among congeners.
