Se determinó la filogenia de Syncirsodes Butler, sobre la base de caracteres morfológicos. Las especies incluidas son: S. distictaria, S. hyadesi, S. primata y S. straminea. Se usaron 27 caracteres morfológicos de estructuras externas e internas de adultos, con énfasis en la genitalia de machos y hembras y en el metafurcaesterno. Se encontró un cladograma parsimonioso (longitud = 51, CI = 0,94; RI = 0,83). La hipótesis filogenética sugiere dos grupos de especies hermanas: S. distictaria + S. straminea y S. hyadesi + S. primata.

The genus Hoplosauris Butler 1882 is reviewed and redefined. Species belonging to the genera Notholoba syn. nov. and Physoloba Warren (1908) are incorporated into Hoplosauris, and the species Physoloba griseofasciata is maintained Physoloba as its type species. The following eight species are recognized in Hoplosauris: H. heliconoides Butler, 1882; H. schausi (Warren 1908) comb. nov.; H. valeria Butler 1893; H. indistincta (Butler, 1882) comb. nov.; H. macarenae Parra sp. nov.; H. granitata (Fletcher 1953) comb. nov.; H. pachrophylloides Parra sp. nov.; H. mabillei Parra sp. nov. Synapomorphic characters supporting monophyly of Hoplosauris include vesicle of anal margin of the male hindwings small, corpus bursae striated, internal surface of corpus bursae with microspines, and valvae with androconia subapically. Adult wing patterns and genitalia are illustrated, and geographic distributions discussed.

The taxonomic study of the Chilean Ennomini genera is still in its early stages. Within this group, the maculation patterns of Chilean species are uniform and often inadequate for distinguishing between many species, compounded by a lack of taxonomic revisions focused on the genera within the tribe. In this study, the genus Digonis Butler, 1882, is reviewed and redefined based on characteristics of wing patterns and genitalia. Digonis comprises the following five species: D. aspersa Butler, 1882, D. cervinaria (Blanchard, 1852), D. punctifera Butler, 1882, D. gungnir Ramos-González & Parra, sp. nov., and D. apocrypha Ramos-González & Parra, sp. nov. Additionally, D. cuprea Butler, 1882 is synonymized with D. cervinaria (Blanchard, 1852), and all varieties of D. punctifera Butler, 1882, and D. cuprea are synonymized with their respective species. Furthermore, two new genera are introduced: Phasmadigonis Ramos-González & Parra, gen. nov., erected for P. alba (Butler, 1882), comb. nov., and Gugnelve Ramos-González & Parra, gen. nov., established for G. butleri Ramos-González & Parra, sp. nov. With the species and genus descriptions, a comparative diagnosis, genitalia illustrations for all species, and wing venation for each genus are provided.
