description
A number of species currently placed in the genus Cobalopsis Godman, 1900 (type species Pamphila edda Mabille, 1891, a junior subjective synonym of Hesperia autumna, 1882) (Fig. 7 dark blue) originate near or within Vidius Evans, 1955 (type species Narga vidius Mabille, 1891) (Fig. 7 blue). The COI barcode difference between Atrytonopsis obscurior Hayward, 1934 (type locality in Argentina: Entre Rios), taken as a representative of the clade that is sister to others, and therefore is most distant from Vidius, and a paralectotype of V. vidius (type locality in Brazil: Rio Grande do Sul) from Brazil: S „ o Paulo (NVG- 18043 G 12 in MFNB) is 7.3 % (48 bp). Therefore, we transfer them to this genus forming Vidius dagon (Evans, 1955), comb. nov., Vidius catocala (Herrich-Schäffer, 1869), comb. nov., Vidius cocalus (Hayward, 1939), comb. nov., and Vidius obscurior (Hayward, 1934), comb. nov.
