Type species. Cobalus lurida Herrich-Schäffer, 1869 View in CoL .

Definition. A genus near Cymaenes Scudder, 1872 View in CoL (type species Cobalus tripunctus Herrich-Schäffer, 1865 View in CoL ) and not monophyletic with Nastra Evans, 1955 View in CoL (type species Hesperia lherminier Latreille, [1824] View in CoL ), where it was placed previously ( Fig. 11–12 View Figure 11 View Figure 12 ). Keys to J. 26.10 in Evans (1955). Distinguished from its relatives by terminally broad and concave nearly divided uncus; gnathos reaches the end of uncus, weakly separated from it; harpe ventrally excavated, shaped like can opener (with a notch); dark brown cheeks; wings rather rounded, with areas of violet-gray overscaling at outer margins below; a curve of small pale postdiscal spots on ventral hindwing. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly386.7.5:A205C, aly5582.8.1:A1097T, aly138.11.7:G998C, aly84.96.4:G40A, aly5582.8.1:C1037T.

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

Species included. Only the type species.

Parent taxon. Subtribe Moncina A. Warren, 2008.
