Two new species of Forster, 1964 are described. Grishin, . (type locality Guatemala: El Progreso, Morazán) is an isolated member of the genus that does not readily fit into known species groups, as suggested by its distinct male and female genitalia and COI DNA barcode sequences. It is distinguished from its congeners by prominently wavy submarginal lines, rounder wings and distinctive genitalia, and can typically be identified by a white dot, instead of an eyespot, near the ventral hindwing apex. Grishin, . (type locality Mexico: Guerrero, Acapulco) belongs to the group as indicated by the presence of androconia on the dorsal surface of the wings, genitalia and COI DNA barcodes, and in addition to DNA characters, differs from its relatives in the shape of the uncus and female genitalia. Neotypes of Hübner, [1811] (type locality Suriname: Gelderland, Suriname River), Hübner, 1823 (type locality Argentina: Buenos Aires), and Godart, [1824] (type locality USA: Florida, Pinellas Co., St. Petersburg) and lectotype of var. [sic] Burmeister, 1878 (type locality Argentina: Buenos Aires) are designated. These designations establish as a valid species widely distributed in South America from Colombia to Bolivia and Southeast Brazil, var. [sic] Burmeister, 1878 as a junior objective synonym of , and as a junior subjective synonym of (Fabricius, 1793). Cramer, 1780 is treated as requiring further studies to determine an identity that is consistent with the original description, as it may be conspecific with (Prittwitz, 1865) instead of being a species as currently assumed.
描述了1964年福斯特的两个新物种。格里申(模式产地危地马拉:莫拉桑省埃尔普罗格雷索)是该属的一个孤立成员,因其独特的雄性和雌性生殖器以及细胞色素氧化酶亚基I(COI)DNA条形码序列,不太容易归入已知的物种组。它与同属其他物种的区别在于其明显波浪状的亚缘线、更圆的翅膀和独特的生殖器,并且通常可以通过后翅腹面顶端附近的一个白点而不是眼斑来识别。格里申(模式产地墨西哥:格雷罗州阿卡普尔科)根据翅膀背面的香鳞、生殖器和COI DNA条形码的存在,属于该组,除了DNA特征外,其钩形突和雌性生殖器的形状也与亲属不同。指定了胡伯纳(模式产地苏里南:格尔德兰省苏里南河)、胡伯纳(1823年,模式产地阿根廷:布宜诺斯艾利斯)、戈达尔(模式产地美国:佛罗里达州皮内拉斯县圣彼得斯堡)的新模标本,以及布迈斯特(1878年,模式产地阿根廷:布宜诺斯艾利斯)变种的选模标本。这些指定确定了是一个广泛分布于从哥伦比亚到玻利维亚和巴西东南部的南美洲的有效物种,布迈斯特(1878年)变种是 的次异名,是 (法布尔,1793年)的次主观异名。克莱默(1780年)被视为需进一步研究以确定与原始描述一致的身份,因为它可能与 (普里特维茨,1865年)同种,而不是像目前所认为的那样是一个独立物种。
