Explanation of Names

Junonia nigrosuffusa Barnes & McDunnough, 1916, originally described as a subspecies of coenia and later treated as a full species in Hafernik (1982), has in recent years been included as a subspecies of J. evarete (Cramer, 1779). Full species is affirmed with the caveat "... genomic analysis suggests that J. nigrosuffusa may be a hybrid species formed by the ancestors of J. grisea and J. stemosa sp.n." (Cong et al. 2020) (1).

Range

Type locality: Arizona.
