Type species. Phlebodes pares Bell, 1959 View in CoL .

Definition. A genus near Joanna Evans, 1955 View in CoL (type species Joanna joanna Evans, 1955 View in CoL ) and Vinpeius Austin, 1997 (type and the only species Pompeius tinga Evans, 1955 View in CoL ), and in same clade with Niconiades Hübner, [1821] View in CoL (type species Niconiades xanthaphes Hübner, [1821] View in CoL ), where it was placed previously ( Fig. 11–12 View Figure 11 View Figure 12 ). Indeed resembles some Niconiades View in CoL species due to the presence of large hyaline spots on hindwing and green scaling of the body, but genitalia (illustrated by Bell 1959: fig. 22 and Nicolay 1980: fig. 8) quite distinctive and diagnostic: short uncus and tegumen, together not longer than valva height, uncus rounded and weakly bilobed caudad, saccus long, about half of vinculum length, penis narrowing caudad, valva broad, more than half of its length, ampulla transitions to harpe without a break, harpe projecting caudad as a broad straight tooth, indented before the tooth along ventral margin. ( Bell 1959; Nicolay 1980). In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly890.44.9:C94G, aly9673.13.1:C269G, aly3555.4.2:G923A, aly 1041.12.1:T93T (not C), aly537.7.1:T984T (not C), aly 1038.8.1:A1367A (not C), aly8857.2.1:G1234G (not A), aly1041.22.3:A377A (not G), aly517.17.2:G336G (not C).

Etymology. The name, a masculine noun in the nominative singular, echoes the type species name.

Species included. The type species and Thoon maritza Nicolay, 1980 .

Parent taxon. Subtribe Moncina A. Warren, 2008.
