Echelatus Godman and Salvin, [1894] is a valid genus

Echelatus Godman and Salvin, [1894] (type species Anastrus varius Mabille, 1883, which is a junior subjective synonym of Achlyodes sempiternus Butler and Druce, 1872) is reinstated as a valid genus from its synonymy with Anastrus Hübner, [1824], because the group of species that includes Anastrus obscurus Hübner, [1824] (the type species of Anastrus) is sister to Mylon Godman and Salvin, [1894] (type species Leucochitonea lassia Hewitson, 1868) and thus is not monophyletic with the type species of Echelatus (Fig. 6), as suggested by Austin (1998).
