PLOS ONE 10 (8) (e0136623), S1 App. Type material. Achlyodes oiclus Mabille, 1889 was described based on one female [ holotype ] from Chiriqui [ Panama ] in the Otto Staudinger collection. The female holotype is deposited at the ZMHU with the following labels: / Origin./ Chiriqui Fr./ Achl. oiclus Mb. ♀ / Achlyodes oiclus B. C. A. Rh. Ii. p. 396./ oiclus Mab. / GEN. PREP., MIELKE 1996/. Pyrdalus corbulo cora Evans, 1953 , was described based on the male [holo]type from Honduras , and on a couple from the same locality. The male holotype is deposited at the NHMUK with the following labels: / Type [verso from the same label:] cora Evans/ Honduras [verso from the same label:] 45 123/ Honduras . Dyson. 45–123./ [label with genitalia attached]/ BMNH(E) 1236499/. Diagnosis. FW length: males 19 mm (n=1) and females 21 mm (n=1). Telemiades oiclus is distinguished from other species of the genus by the following characters: VFW of males with a dark yellow androconial patch in CuA 2 –2A; DHW with a tuft of long cream hair–like scales in Sc+R 1 –Rs; oval yellowish patch under the tuft of androconial scales; yellowish patch covering more than posterior half of VHW; uncus with distal margin convex. Natural history. Immatures have been reported on Dioclea malacocarpa and D. wilsonii (Fabaceae) ( Janzen & Hallwachs 2009 ). Burns & Janzen (2005) and Janzen & Hallwachs (2009) illustrated all the immature stages of T. oiclus . Distribution. Telemiades oiclus occurs in Central America, with records in Honduras , Costa Rica , and Panama . Taxonomic discussion. After its description, Achlyodes oiclus Mabille, 1889 was transferred to Ouleus Lindsey, 1925 by Shepard (1934) . Later, Steinhauser (1989) returned the species to Achlyodes Hübner, [1819] . Evans (1953) erroneously interpreted Achlyodes oiclus as a subspecies of Bolla phylo . Analysis of the material deposited in the NHMUK, revealed that the specimen studied by Evans is Staphylus lizeri album Steinhauser, 1989 . In the same study, Evans (1953) described Pyrdalus corbulo cora . Recently, Burns & Janzen (2005) transferred the name oiclus to Telemiades and synonymized P. c. cora with T. oiclus . The examination of the holotype of P. c. cora confirms the synonymy. As discussed by Burns & Janzen (2005) , T. oiclus forms a subgroup of Telemiades together with T. corbulo , T. insulsus and T. quammeni . Although they exhibit unique characters within the genus, such as androconial organs on the wings of the male, the morphology of the male and female genitalia is characteristic of Telemiades . Examined material. No data: 1 female , OM 40.663* (DZUP–OM).
