Hestinalis Bryk, 1938 View in CoL is a junior subjective synonym of Mimathyma Moore, 1896
In the genomic tree Hestinalis Bryk, 1938 ( type species Hestina mimetica Butler, 1874 ) originates within Mimathyma Moore, 1896 ( type species Athyma chevana
Moore, 1866) rendering it paraphyletic (Fig. 37). To restore monophyly and considering genetic closeness of these species, we propose that Hestinalis Bryk, 1938 is a junior subjective synonym of Mimathyma Moore, 1896 . Curiously, Hestina Westwood, 1850 ( type species Papilio assimilis Linnaeus, 1758 ) is in a different clade and thus is not synonymous with Hestinalis .
