stat. nov.

Perus manx ( Evans, 1953) , new status

Presently in Perus Grishin, 2019 (type species Pholisora cordillerae Lindsey, 1925 ), Staphylus minor manx Evans, 1953 (type locality Colombia: Cauca), is not monophyletic with nominotypical Perus minor ( Schaus, 1902) (type locality Peru), and instead is sister to Perus parvus (Steinhauser and Austin, 1993) (type locality Costa Rica) ( Fig. 5 View Figure 5 ), being distinct from it: COI barcodes differ by 2.1% (14 bp). Therefore, it is the species-level taxon Perus manx ( Evans, 1953) , new status.
