Panca fiedleri (Carneiro, O. Mielke & Casagrande, 2015), new combination Genomic sequencing of the holotype of Ginungagapus fiedleri Carneiro, O. Mielke & Casagrande, 2015 (type locality in Brazil: Paraná) (Fig. 6 maroon) reveals that it is not monophyletic with Ginungagapus Carneiro, O. Mielke & Casagrande, 2015 (type species Euroto schmithi E. Bell, 1930) and instead is sister to Panca steinhauseri (Dolibaina & A. Warren, 2015) (type locality in Ecuador) within Panca Evans, 1955 (type species Lerodea subpunctuli Hayward, 1934) (Fig. 6 violet). In a morphological phylogeny, Ginungagapus and Artines Godman, 1901 (type species Thracides aepitus Geyer, 1832) were recovered as sisters (Carneiro et al. 2015). At that time, however, Artines trogon Evans, 1955 and Artines fosca Evans, 1955 were selected as representatives of Artines, two species currently in Panca (Medeiros et al. 2020) and Eutocus (combination proposed below), respectively. In this analysis G. fiedleri was the first linage to diverge within Ginungagapus, being sister of a clade with all remaining species in the genus. In fact, G. fiedleri shares several morphological similarities in male and female genitalia with species in Panca, suggesting close affinity, which is here corroborated by the genome. Therefore, we propose Panca fiedleri (Carneiro, O. Mielke & Casagrande, 2015), comb. nov.
