http://zoobank.org/ 86DDFA39-B2D5-44DB-843C-CA314846FBF4

Type species. Carrhenes santes Bell, 1940 View in CoL .

Definition. A genus related to Plumbago Evans, 1953 View in CoL , Paches Godman and Salvin, 1895 View in CoL and Carrhenes Godman and Salvin, 1895 View in CoL ( Fig. 7 View Figure 7 ). Keys to E.43.3 or E. 52.4 in Evans (1953), one species previously placed in Paches Godman and Salvin, [1895] View in CoL (type species Pythonides loxus Westwood, [1852] View in CoL ) the other one in Carrhenes Godman and Salvin, 1895 View in CoL (type species Leucochitonea fuscescens Mabille, 1891 View in CoL ). Distinguished from others by brown wings with darker spots and stripes above and a black spot near the hindwing tornus below. Male genitalia with a process (style) from ampulla, uncus divided, arms about as long as wide, harpe longer than wide. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly5021.3.22:G847C, aly 2103.4.2:G472A, aly528.2.2:G1190T, aly528.2.2:G1191T, aly839.26.5:A464T.

Etymology. The name is a feminine noun in the nominative singular, derived from the type species name.

Species included. The type species and Paches trifasciatus Lindsey, 1925 .

Parent taxon. Tribe Pyrgini Burmeister, 1878 .

Comment. While neither of these two species fit well into the genera they were assigned to previously, due to differences in genitalia and wing patterns between the two species, their sister relationship is not obvious without genomic analysis.
