Zhang, Jing, Cong, Qian, Shen, Jinhui & Grishin, Nick V., 2022, Taxonomic changes suggested by the genomic analysis of Hesperiidae (Lepidoptera), Insecta Mundi 2022 (921), pp. 1-135 : 97

Neoxeniades parna ( Evans, 1955) , new combination

Niconiades parna ( Evans, 1955 (type locality Brazil: Para) is not monophyletic with Niconiades Hübner, [1821] (type species Niconiades xanthaphes Hübner, [1821] ), in Moncina A. Warren, 2008 , but instead is within Neoxeniades Hayward, 1938 (type species Neoxeniades musarion Hayward, 1938 ), in Carystina Mabille, 1878 ( Fig. 17 ). The shape of valva and extended slightly bilobed uncus agree with this placement. Therefore we propose Neoxeniades parna ( Evans, 1955) , new combination.
