Type species. Eutocus arabupuana Bell, 1932 .

Definition. A genus sister to the clade consisting of five genera: Eutocus Godman, 1901 (type species Eutocus phthia Godman, 1901 , a junior subjective synonym of Apaustus facilis Plötz, 1884 ), Tarmia Lindsey, 1925 (type species Tarmia monastica Lindsey, 1925 ), Lucida Evans, 1955 (type species Carystus lucia Capronnier, 1874 ), Panca Evans, 1955 (type species Lerodea subpunctuli Hayward, 1934 ), and Ginungagapus Carneiro, O. Mielke and Casagrande, 2015 (type species Eutocus schmithi Bell, 1930 ) ( Fig. 15 ). Therefore, it is a genus. Keys to J. 3.7 in Evans (1955). Distinguished from its relatives by the following combination of characters: wings broad, rounded, below with variegated patterns of darker lines and spots, reminding of a lattice pattern; small triangular brand at the base of CuA 1 -CuA 2 cell; gnathos arms very long and thin, longer than uncus, uncus terminally rounded, undivided; penis with a style half of its length; valva twice as long as broad, harpe upturned, extends dorsally for a third of its length beyond ampulla. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly345.4.7:C2251A, aly1838.61.1:G543C, aly86.14.2:A4732G, aly138.16.3:G112C, and aly86.14.2:A4681C.

Etymology. The name is a masculine noun in the nominative singular, given for the lattice-like ventral hindwing pattern of the type species.
