Pamphila binaria Mabille, 1891 is a junior subjective synonym of Conga chydaea (A. Butler, 1877)

A syntype in the ZMHB of Pamphila binaria Mabille, 1891 (type locality Venezuela, NVG-15036F12) currently treated as junior subjective synonym of Cynea cynea (Hewitson, 1876) (type locality Venezuela), is not monophyletic with it or with its subtribe Moncina A. Warren, 2008 , and instead is placed with specimens of Conga chydaea (Butler, 1877) (type locality Brazil: Amazonas) in a subtribe Hesperiina Latreille, 1809 ( Fig. 11 ). Phenotypic assessment confirms this placement. Therefore, we propose that Pamphila binaria Mabille, 1891 is a junior subjective synonym of Conga chydaea (A. Butler, 1877) .
