Genomic analysis of Hesperiidae specimens collected by Kilian Roever in Arizona, USA, and deposited in the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity (Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville, FL, USA) confirms several published state species records, reveals that Cecropterus (Murgaria) markwalkeri Grishin, 2023, Telegonus (Telegonus) misitra (Plötz, 1881), and Epargyreus cruza Evans, 1952 have been found in Arizona with sequenced specimens representing first confirmed USA records of these three species, and allows us to discover new taxa Cecropterus (Murgaria) roeveri Grishin, sp. n. and Lerema (Lerema) ochrius occidus Grishin, ssp. n. This study underscores the value of extensive collecting and careful specimen preservation for research.

Due to the U.S. government shutdown, GenBank services were unavailable, and accession numbers could not be obtained for the sequences reported in the original publication. This update provides the GenBank accession numbers for these sequences, together with additional taxonomic findings accumulated since the initial study. One genus, 16 species and four subspecies are proposed as new (type species or localities in parentheses): Madaga Grishin, gen. n. (Artitropa alaotrana Oberthür, 1916), Udranomia eurianus Grishin, sp. n. (Ecuador: Napo), Entheus dalina Grishin, sp. n. (Brazil: Pará), Entheus ambo Grishin, sp. n.

Within the framework of an ongoing comparative genomic study of global butterfly diversity, we construct phylogenetic trees combining all protein-coding genes assembled from the whole genome shotgun data. When viewed in the context of current taxonomy and phenotypic knowledge, the genome-wide phylogeny points to further advances in butterfly systematics, which are presented here. We assign major clades with comparable levels of genetic divergence to the same taxonomic rank and apply criteria involving relative population divergence and gene flow to define species boundaries. As a result, one genus, 13 subgenera, 62 species, and five subspecies are proposed as new (type species in original combinations or type localities are given in parentheses): a genus Ajenorix Grishin, gen. n.

<p><p>This study presents new findings based on a large-scale analysis of butterfly genomic sequences. Focusing on species identification through comparative genomics, we define subspecies as populations differentiated to a lesser extent than distinct species ("species in the making"). Additionally, we propose further adjustments to the current butterfly classification. As a result, 3 subgenera, 12 species, and 4 subspecies are described as new. New subgenera are (type species in parenthesis): <i>Hyalaus</i> Grishin, <b>subgen. n.</b> (<i>Papilio epidaus</i> E.

Large-scale genomic sequencing of butterfly taxa reveals new findings that are presented here. While we focus on detecting species by comparative genomics and define subspecies as groups of populations genetically differentiated from each other but not as strongly as species (i.e., subspecies as "species in the making"), we report other adjustments to butterfly classification. As a result, 4 subgenera, 11 species, and 6 subspecies are proposed as new. New subgenera are: Rapis Grishin, subgen. n. (type species Papilio rapae Linnaeus, 1758, genus Pieris Schrank, 1801) in Pieridae Swainson, 1820 and Callitera Grishin, subgen. n. (type species Eurygona? pulcherrima Herrich-Schäffer, [1853], genus Isapis E. Doubleday, 1847), Matizada Grishin, subgen. n. (type species Themone poecila H. Bates, 1868, genus Isapis E. Doubleday, 1847), and Parapanara Grishin, subgen. n. (type species Lyropteryx diadocis Stichel, 1910, genus Paraphthonia Stichel, 1910) in Riodinidae Grote, 1895 (1827). New species are (type localities in parenthesis): Chlosyne pardelina Grishin, sp. n. (USA: Texas, Duval Co.) in Nymphalidae Rafinesque, 1815; Erythia paracheles Grishin, sp. n. (Panama: Canal Zone), Erythia borrosa Grishin, sp. n. (Panama: Panama), and Cremna telarania Grishin, sp. n. (Bolivia: La Paz) in Riodinidae; and Euriphellus colombiensis Grishin, sp. n. (Colombia: Río Dagua), Euriphellus ecuadoricus Grishin, sp. n. (Ecuador: Canelos), Urbanus (Urbanus) cubanus Grishin, sp. n. (Cuba: Havana), Gorgythion guyanus Grishin, sp. n. (Guyana: Essequibo), Lon co Grishin, sp. n. (Mexico: Guerrero), Lon ma Grishin, sp. n. (Panama: Chiriquí), and Lon chia Grishin, sp. n. (Mexico: Chiapas) in Hesperiidae Latreille, 1809.

对蝴蝶类群的大规模基因组测序揭示了新的发现，在此予以介绍。虽然我们专注于通过比较基因组学检测物种，并将亚种定义为在基因上彼此不同但不像物种那样强烈的种群组（即亚种是 "正在形成中的物种"），但我们报告了对蝴蝶分类的其他调整。因此，我们提出了 4 个亚属、11 个种和 6 个亚种作为新种。新的亚属有n. (type species Papilio rapae Linnaeus, 1758, genus Pieris Schrank, 1801) in Pieridae Swainson, 1820 and Callitera Grishin, subgen. n. (type species Eurygona? pulcherrima Herrich-Schäffer, [1853], genus Isapis E. Doubleday, 1847), in Pieridae Swainson, 1820 and Callitera Grishin, subgen.N. (type species Themone poecila H. Bates, 1868, genus Isapis E. Doubleday, 1847), and Parapanara Grishin, subgen.新种为（括号内为模式产地）：n. (USA: Texas, Duval Co.) in Nymphalidae Rafinesque, 1815; Erythia paracheles Grishin, sp. n. (Panama: Canal Zone), Erythia borrosa Grishin, sp. n. (Panama: Panama), and Cremna telarania Grishin, sp. n. (Bolivia: La Paz); and Euriphellus colombiensis Grishin, sp. n. (Colombia: Ro Dagas).(Colombia: Río Dagua), Euriphellus ecuadoricus Grishin, sp. n. (Ecuador: Canelos), Urbanus (Urbanus) cubanus Grishin, sp. n. (Cuba: Havana), Gorgythion guyanus Grishin, sp.(Guyana: Essequibo), Lon co Grishin, sp. n. (Mexico: Guerrero), Lon ma Grishin, sp. n. (Panama: Chiriquí), and Lon chia Grishin, sp. n. (Mexico: Chiapas) in Hesperiidae Latreille, 1809.新亚种为（括号内为模式产地）：Nymphalidae 中的 Chlosyne definita dolosa Grishin, ssp. n. (Mexico: Chihuahua) 和 Limochores mystic nino Grishin, ssp. n. (USA: Arizona, Coconino Co.), Hesperia pahaska hannawackeri Grishin, ssp. n. (USA: Utah, San Juan Co.), Pseudocopaeodes, Pseudocopaeodes, Pseudocopaeodes, Pseudocopaeodes, Pseudocopaeodes, Pseudocopaeodes, Pseudocopaeodes, Pseudocopaeodes.n. (USA: Nevada, Nye Co.), Ochlodes napa kaibab Grishin, ssp. n. (USA: Arizona, Coconino Co.), and Lon melane sur Grishin, ssp. n. (Mexico: Baja California Sur) in Hesperiidae.此外，我们确认了 1 个属，恢复了 2 个亚属，将 3 个属的级别改为亚属，将 3 个属、1 个种和 1 个亚种同名，并提出证据支持 17 个分类群（1 个已确认）为种而不是亚种或同名。也就是说，我们确认 Perpheres Hirowatari, 1992 是一个有效的属，而不是 Danis [Fabricius], 1807（Lycaenidae）的初级主观异名；将 Sinopieris H. Huang, 1995 和 Artogeia Verity, 1947 视为 Pieris Schrank, 1801（Pieridae）的亚属（而不是属或异名）；将这些属视为亚属：Serradinga G. Henning & S Henning, 1996 of Dingana van Son, 1955 (Nymphalidae), Necyria Westwood, 1851 of Lyropteryx Westwood, 1851 (Riodinidae), and Nothodanis Hirowatari, 1992 of Danis [Fabricius], 1807 (Lycaenidae); 并建议以下为初级主观异名，而非属、种或亚种：Eugrumia Della Bruna, Gallo, Lucarelli & Sbordoni, 2000 of Sinerebia Nakatani, 2017 in Nymphalidae: Satyrini：Ypthimina Reuter, 1896, new placement (not Erebiina Tutt, 1896), Pistoria Hemming, 1964 of Caleta Fruhstorfer, 1922 and Upolampes Bethune-Baker, 1908 of Thaumaina Bethune-Baker、1908 of Thaumaina Bethune-Baker, 1908 in Lycaenidae, and Synargis orestessa Hübner, [1819] of Synargis soranus (Stoll, 1781) and Mesosemia eumene furia Stichel, 1910 of Ectosemia erinnya (Stichel, 1910) in Riodinidae.以下类群为种，而非亚种或异名：Pontia edusa (Fabricius, 1777) (not Pontia daplidice (Linnaeus, 1758)) and Pontia johnstonii (Crowley, 1887) (not Pontia helice (Linnaeus, 1764)) in Pieridae; Chlosyne anastasia (H

The discovery that a skipper butterfly Telegonus fulgerator (Walch, 1775), previously placed in the genus Astraptes Hübner, [1819], is a complex of many similar-looking species-level taxa with different COI barcodes, caterpillar foodplants and body patterns, and subtle differences in adult phenotypes raised a question about which species is the original T. fulgerator. To answer this question, being unable to locate its holotype, we designate the neotype of Papilio fulgerator Walch, 1775, a female specimen from Suriname in the Zoological State Collection, Munich, Germany. This neotype will form the foundation for a comprehensive revision of the T. fulgerator complex based on genomic sequencing and analysis augmented with phenotypic considerations.
