  abstract = {{T}wo phylogenies of {M}orpho butterflies were previously published, founded on morphological data analysis. {T}hese phylogenies shared similarities but also several differences. {I}n the present study we used partial sequences of the {CO}1 and {C}yt b mitochondrial genes to infer the phylogenetic relationships between the subgenera. {F}rom the ten subgenera previously described, seven are shown to be monophyletic: lphimedeia, {L}aurschwartzia, lphixibia, {M}egamede, {G}rasseia, {B}alachowskyna and {D}eyrollia. {A}lthough no consensus came out about the deepest relationships between the subgenera, it seems that the clade ({L}aurschwartzia, lphimedeia) diverged very early from the other {M}orpho butterflies. {T}he results also consolidated the recent creation of the subgenus {D}eyrollia for two species previously included into the subgenus {C}ythefitis. {T}he subgenus {B}alachowskyna may be included in {C}ytheritis but the unclear position of {M}. zephyritis make difficult to affirm it. {M}orphological and molecular data, considered together, suggest that the {B}razilian {P}essonia species could be included in the subgenus {M}orpho.},
