Type species. Lerema veadeira Mielke, 1968 View in CoL .

Definition. Not closely related to any other genus, but falls near the clade of many Moncina genera, among which are Parphorus Godman, [1900] View in CoL (type species Phlebodes storax Mabille, 1891 View in CoL ), Phlebodes Hübner, [1819] View in CoL (type species Papilio pertinax Stoll, 1781 ), Cantha Evans, 1955 View in CoL (type species Cantha calva Evans, 1955 View in CoL ), Saturnus Evans, 1955 View in CoL (type species Papilio saturnus Fabricius, 1787 ), Penicula Evans, 1955 View in CoL (type species Pamphila bryanti Weeks, 1906 ), and Duroca Grishin, 2019 (type species Hesperia duroca Plötz, 1882 View in CoL ). Not closely related to Lerema Scudder, 1872 View in CoL (type species Papilio accius Smith, 1797 ), where it was originally placed ( Fig. 11–12 View Figure 11 View Figure 12 ). Distinguished from them by a combination of the following characters: uncus divided, arms long, very close together; gnathos broader than uncus in ventral view, about 2/3 of uncus length; saccus nearly the same length as vinculum in lateral view; harpe short, less than 1/3 of valva, upturned, ending in a tooth directed dorsad, not separated from ampulla and not serrated; dorsal forewing with small ochre spots and tripartite gray stigma, lined with black scales basad; mostly ferruginous (a rather unusual color for Hesperiidae View in CoL ) below, with faint ochreous spots on both wings. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly318.7.1:A1032G, aly1042.23.2:G113T, aly1042.23.2:A115G, aly 1487.4.1:A662G, aly164.9.1:A1676T.
