title = "Monotypy Justified: Genitalia and DNA Move Ephyriades eugramma (Mabille) to New Genus Neomorphuncus Burns (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae: Pyrginae)",
abstract = "A cloud forest skipper butterfly, known from Costa Rica and Panama, was described in 1888 and has been in three polytypic genera. Diverse characters, especially male genitalia and phylogeny based on the Z sex chromosome, but also adult and larval facies and larval foodplants, argue for placement of this species in a monotypic genus. The result: Neomorphuncus Burns, new genus and Neomorphuncus eugramma (Mabille), new combination.",

note = "Funding Information: We thank Donald J. Harvey for dis secting genitalia, Young Sohn for drawing them, and Karie Darrow for photographing adults and secondary sex characters and assembling the plates that comprise Figures 1–24 (National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution). We thank the ACG parataxonomists for daily climbing a high mountain to find the caterpillars of this skipper butterfly and rear them, and we thank ACG for conserving the forest in which the skipper lives. ACG barcoding and caterpillar rearing costs were met by the Guanacaste Dry Forest Conservation Fund, Wege Foundation, Globeleq Mesoamerica Energy S.A, Government of Costa Rica, Centre for Biodiversity Genomics, University of Guelph, Canada, Steve Stroud, and Jessie Hill. We are grateful to Qian Cong, Jing Zhang, Jinhui Shen, and Leina Song (University of Texas South-western, Dallas, TX, USA) for DNA work, which was supported in part by the grants (to NVG) from the National Institutes of Health GM094575 and GM127390 and the Welch Foundation I-1505. We thank reviewers John A. Shuey and John E. Rawlins for their helpful comments. Publisher Copyright: {\textcopyright} 2019 Entomological Society of Washington. All rights reserved.",
