Vacerra cecropterus (Draudt, 1923) View in CoL is a species distinct from Vacerra hermesia (Hewitson, 1870)
Genomic analysis of the lectotype of Xeniades cecropterus Draudt, 1923 (type locality in Bolivia: Rio Zongo, sequenced as NVG-18093D10) that is currently treated as a subspecies of Vacerra hermesia (Hewitson, 1870) (type locality in Ecuador) is genetically differentiated from it at the species level (Fig. 134); e.g., their COI barcodes differ by 2.6% (17 bp). The two taxa also differ phenotypically as detailed by Evans (1955). Therefore, we propose that Vacerra cecropterus (Draudt, 1923) , stat. rest. is a species distinct from Vacerra hermesia (Hewitson, 1870) .
