Pamphila astur Mabille, 1891 is a junior subjective synonym of Metiscus angularis (Möschler, 1877)

A syntype of Pamphila astur Mabille, 1891 (type locality Brazil: Amazonas) in the ZMHB collection (NVG- 15036F08), currently a junior subjective synonym of Cymaenes tripunctus theogenis (Capronnier, 1874) (type locality Brazil: Rio de Janeiro) is not monophyletic with it and instead originates within Metiscus angularis (Möschler, 1877) (type locality Suriname) sister to its syntype (NVG-15036E09) ( Fig. 15 ). Wing patterns and brand shape of the syntype agree with genetic assessment. Therefore we place Pamphila astur Mabille, 1891 is a junior subjective synonym of Metiscus angularis (Möschler, 1877) .
