Phlebodes meesi de Jong, 1983 belongs to the nominal subgenus of Vistigma Hayward, 1939 and not to Phlebodes Hübner, 1819
Genomic analysis reveals that Phlebodes meesi de Jong, 1983 ( type locality in Suriname) is not monophyletic with Phlebodes Hübner, [1819] ( type species Papilio pertinax Stoll, 1781 ) but instead originates within the nominal subgenus of Vistigma Hayward, 1939 ( type species Vistigma xanthobasis Hayward, 1939 ) being a close sister to Vistigma ( Vistigma) vira (Butler, 1870) ( type locality in Brazil: Pará) ( Fig. 57). Therefore, we transfer it to this genus as Vistigma ( Vistigma) meesi (de Jong, 1983) , comb. nov.
