Discussion of Phylogenetic Relationships
Carminda was considered a synonym of Moneuptychia by Lamas (2004), but, as pointed out by Freitas (2007), the phylogenetic analysis of Peña et al. (2006) shows Lamas' circumscription to be polyphyletic. This means at least that these species are not part of Moneuptychia, although whether Carminda is a distinct group from Pareuptychia remains to be seen.
