Introduction

Zhang et al. (2022) reinstated the tribe Notocryptini Swinhoe, 1913 as follows: “More detailed analysis of rapid diversification of Asian Hesperiinae reveals strongly supported clades that render Erionotini Distant, 1886 sensu lato paraphyletic. After adding genomic datasets for the type genera of all six available family-group names associated with Erionotini Distant, 1886 (Warren et al. 2008; Warren et al. 2009; Li et al. 2019), we find that out of four confidently supported clades that disrupt monophyly of Erionotini, three clades do not have names. These clades are proposed here as new tribes. The fourth clade is recognized as a valid tribe Notocryptini Swinhoe, 1913, new status, that consists of Notocrypta de Nicéville, 1889 (type species: Plesioneura curvifascia C. Felder and R. Felder, 1862), Ancistroides Butler, 1874 (type species: Ancistroides longicornis Butler, 1874) and Udaspes Moore, [1881] (type species: Papilio folus Cramer, 1775) as these genera are defined in Evans (1949).”
