Type material. Eudamus laogonusHewitson, 1876was described based on an unspecified number of specimens from Brazilfrom the Otto Staudinger collection. One male syntypewas found at ZMHU, where the Staudinger material is housed, with the same characteristics published in the original description, and illustrated on Butterflies of America ( Warren et al. 2018) with the following labels: / Typus/ Brasilia Capta D. Swainson./ Laogonus/ Coll. Sommer/ Coll. Staudinger/ laogonusHw./. In order to stabilize the identity of this species, this male specimen is hereby designated lectotypeof Eudamus laogonusHewitson, 1876and the following labels will be attached: / Lectotypus/ Lectotypus Eudamus laogonusHewitson, 1876 Siewert, Mielke & Casagrandedet. 2019/. These labels will be sent to the curator for the collection. Proteides nicola Plötz, 1882was described based on the male holotypefrom Pará, Brazil. The male holotypeis deposited at the ZMHUand illustrated on Butterflies of America ( Warren et al. 2018) with the following labels: / HolotypusNr./ 5037/ Pará Sieb/ nicolaPl.Type/. Telemiades simpliciusHayward, 1933was described based on the female holotypeand on one male paratypefrom Misiones, Argentina. The female holotypeis deposited at the MLPwith the following labels: / Iguazu, Argentina, A. Breyer, X–1928/ Tipus/ Telemiades simpliciusHolotipo ♀Hayward/ 2523/.
Diagnosis.FW length: males 15–17 mm(n=10) and females 17–18 mm(n=5). Telemiades laogonusis the only species of the genus with irregular margin in HW with a small projection in M 3–CuA 1and CuA 1–CuA 2and the tornus rounded. Additionally, the following genitalia characters differs T. laogonusfrom other species of the genus: tegumen with short apophysys, about 1/3 the size of uncus; valva with dorsal margin concave; harpe triangular with distal margin serrated; lamella antevaginalis laterally slightly sclerotized; lamella antevaginalis with distal margin bilobed and laterally with a thin–like projection; proximal margin bifid, triangular, ventrally with a small area covered by small scales and extending in a thin–like projection.
Variation.Some specimens have two hyaline spots below the apicals in M 1–M 2and M 2–M 3.
Distribution. Telemiades laogonusis widely distributed in South America, with records in forested areas of French Guiana, Peru, Bolivia, Braziland Argentina. Taxonomic discussion. Eudamus laogonusHewitson, 1876was transferred to the genus TelegonusHübner, [1819]by Kirby (1877)and later to Telemiadesby Hayward (1947b). In this same study, Hayward (1947b)synonymized Proteides nicola Plötz, 1882, Plesioneura lamus Mabille, 1888and Telemiades simpliciusHayward, 1933with Telemiades laogonus. After Hayward’s study (1947b), Plesioneura lamusand Telemiades simpliciuswere treated as synonyms of Telemiades avitusand T. laogonusby Evans (1953), respectively, while Proteides nicolawas interpreted as a subspecies of T. laogonus. The analysis of the typematerial of P. nicola syn. nov.(besides the series of specimens analyzed here) supports the hypothesis of a synonym of T. laogonus. The character that Evans (1953)used to separate the two subspecies of T. laogonus(presence or absence of the costal spot in FW) is variable. Specimens collected in the same locality may vary with respect to this feature. Examined material.No data: 1 male(ZSM); 1 female, NHMUK 010242373 (NHMUK). PERU: no specific locality, 1 male, ex–coll.
