Genomic analysis of
Hesperia catargyra
C. Felder & R. Felder, 1867
(type locality
Venezuela
and
Colombia
) and
Vettius coryna conka
Evans, 1955
(type locality in
Guatemala
) (

dark cyan) reveals their prominent genetic differentiation from
Hesperia coryna
Hewitson, 1866
(type locality in
Brazil
: Amazonas), the type species of
Corra
Grishin, 2019
(
Fig. 7
cyan). E.g., COI barcodes of
V. c. conka
and
C. coryna
differ by 5.5% (36 bp). Therefore, instead of keeping these taxa as subspecies of
C. coryna
, we propose to treat them as species:
Corra catargyra
(C. Felder & R. Felder, 1867)
,
stat. rest.
and
Corra conka
(
Evans, 1955
)
,
stat. nov
.
Due to the limited genetic differentiation between
Vettius argentus
Freeman, 1969
(type locality in
Mexico
:
Chiapas
,
holotype
NVG-18025D09 sequenced) and
C. conka
, as reflected in their 100% identical COI barcodes, we propose
Corra conka argentus
(H. Freeman, 1969)
,
stat. nov., comb. nov
.
