Eurypterus later Mabille, 1891 View in CoL and Eurypterus haber Mabille, 1891 belong to the genus Eantis Boisduval, 1836 , not Aethilla Hewitson, 1868
Eurypterus later Mabille, 1891 ( type locality likely in Peru) and Eurypterus haber Mabille, 1891 ( type locality probably in Peru) are currently in the genus Aethilla Hewitson, 1868 ( type species Aethilla eleusinia Hewitson, 1868 ), because of their general appearance and visual similarities with Aethilla . However, the genomic tree reveals that they are not monophyletic with Aethilla , which is sister to Achlyodes Hübner, 1819 ( type species Papilio busirus Cramer, 1779 ), but instead originate within Eantis Boisduval, 1836 ( type species Urbanus thraso Hübner, 1807 ) ( Fig. 3 View Figure 3 ). Therefore, we transfer them from Aethilla to Eantis forming new combinations: Eantis later (Mabille, 1891) and Eantis haber (Mabille, 1891) .
