Table 1

Characters justifying the grouping of species and genera. WinClada ver. 1.00.08 was used to map character changes on the three in Figure 2. DFW: dorsal forewings, DHW: dorsal hindwings, VFW: ventral forewings, VHW: ventral hindwings.

Clade 1: (B. hypochlora + (H. arete + (H. laodamia + H. velutina)))
 (2 : 1) Absence of two submarginal ocelli on DHW
 (22 : 1) Absence of submarginal ocelli on DHW
Clade 2: (H. arete + (H. laodamia + H. velutina))
 (3 : 1) Existence of sex patch on DHW
 (4 : 1) Presence of red submarginal spots in VHW
 (18 : 1) Ventral wings with blue iridescent reflectance
 (29 : 1) Existence of red spots around humeral vein in VHW
 (33 : 1) Presence of white in dorsal forewings of females only in the diagonal medial band
 (42 : 1) Red markings on ventral area of thorax
Clade 3: (H. chloe + H. albicornis)
 (7 : 1) Forewings with M3-Cu2 veins extended more than the others
 (8 : 1) DFW with two red maculae inside discal cell
Clade 4: (H. atlantis + (H. chloe + H. albicornis))
 (44 : 0) Spiral organ on forewings sub coastal vein short and thick
 (51 : 1) Vinculum of male genitalia does not have anterior projection
Clade 5: (H. amphichloe + (H. feronia + H. iphthime))
 (46 : 1) Distal point of the arm of the gnathos pointing to the uncus
Clade 6: (H. februa + H. glauconome)
 (56 : 1) Uncus overlaps with clasper
Clade 7: (H. epinome + (H. guatemalena + (H. Fornax + (H. Alicia + (H. amphinome + (H. belladonna + (H. rosandra + H. arinome)))))))
 (35 : 0) Absence of double concentric ocelli on DHW from Cu1 to Cu2
Clade 8: (H. amphinome + (H. belladonna + (H. rosandra + H. arinome)))
 (49 : 1) Point of the arm of the gnathos not acute
 (50 : 1) Arm of the gnathos finishing in a thick triangle
 (64 : 0) Posterior point of the saccus thicker than the rest
Clade 9: (H. belladonna + (H. rosandra + H. arinome))
 (39 : 1) No sexual dimorphism present in the way that discal cell close on the Forewings
Clade 10: (((H. atlantis + (H. chloe + H. albicornis)) + (H. amphichloe + (H. feronia + H. iphthime))) + ((H. februa + H. glauconome) + (H. epinome + (H. guatemalena + (H. Fornax + (H. Alicia + (H. amphinome + (H. belladonna + (H. rosandra + H. arinome)))))))))
 (15 : 1) Existence of color white or gray inside DFW discal cell
 (20 : 1) Hindwings distal border serrated
 (21 : 1) VHW with white marginal spots between veins
 (25 : 1) VHW submarginal ocelli intercalated large ones with smaller ones
 (35 : 1) DHW with two or three concentric ocelli in sub-margins from Cu1 to Cu2
 (36 : 1) Presence of a depression followed by an outward curve on the costal vein at the end of the discal-cell of forewings
 (37 : 1) Females without diagonal wide and regular white band on DFW
