Cymaenes loxa Evans, 1955 View in CoL , new status

Proposed as a stronger-patterned subspecies of Cymaenes laureolus ( Schaus, 1913) (type locality Costa Rica) by Evans (1955), C. l. loxa (type locality Brazil: Para) is genetically distinct to the extent that suggests its species status. For example, Fst/Gmin statistics for comparing specimens from Mexico and Guatemala to loxa from South America are 0.40/0.02. Therefore, we propose Cymaenes loxa Evans, 1955 , new combination.
