GRADOS, Juan; MANTILLA, Karla  y  TURRENT DIAZ, Rafael. The genus Epanycles (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Ctenuchina): 145 years of monotypy. Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2023, vol.82, n.2, pp.7-7.  Epub 25-Jun-2023. ISSN 0373-5680.

The genus Epanycles Butler (Lepidoptera: Erebidae: Arctiinae: Ctenuchina) has been considered as monotypical for 145 years, including only Epanycles imperialis (Walker). Herein, we propose a new combination: E. satania new. comb. based on external morphology, genital morphology of males and females, morphological phylogeny, DNA barcoding, and geographical distribution. Epanycles satania was originally described for the genus Episcepsis Butler.
