Definition and diagnosis.
Phylogenetic trees reveal that a number of specimens identified as
Amblyscirtes anubis
Godman, 1900
(
type
locality in
Mexico
:
Guerrero
) show prominent genetic differentiation from it and from their sister species
Amblyscirtes chrysoplea
new species
(
Fig. 6
): e.g., their COI barcodes differ from the latter species by 4% (26 bp), and therefore represent a new species. This new species keys to
A. anubis
(N.2.21) in
Evans (1955)
but differs from its closest relatives in having yellow-orange forewing fringes, dark-brown hindwing fringes, and ventral hindwing essentially unspotted (better defined, rounder ventral hindwing spots are typical for
A. anubis
). Due to the cryptic nature of this species, most reliable identification is achieved by DNA and a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic in the nuclear genome: aly390.21.1:C54T, aly
2011.1.3

Etymology.
The name is formed from the Greek Χρυσός (chrysós), meaning gold, and μισα (misa), meaning half. It is given for the forewings with orange fringes and hindwings with dark fringes. The name is a noun in apposition.
Distribution.
Southeastern

Amblyscirtes
(
Mastor
)
repta
Evans, 1955
is a species distinct from
Amblyscirtes
(
Flor
)
florus
(Godman, 1900)
Genomic sequencing of the
holotype
of
Repens repta
Evans, 1955
(type locality
Mexico
:
Jalisco
, Guadelajara) currently a junior subjective synonym of
Amblyscirtes
(
Flor
)
florus
(Godman, 1900)
(type locality in
Mexico
:
Nayarit
,
holotype
sequenced as NVG-18083E07) reveals that these two taxa are not monophyletic and
R. repta
is sister to the clade with
Amblyscirtes
(
Mastor
)
anubis
Godman, 1900
, the type species of the subgenus
Mastor
Godman, 1900
(
Fig. 6
). Therefore, we
reinstate
R. repta
as a valid species and transfer it to the subgenus
Mastor
:
Amblyscirtes

Mastor
)
