Type species. Pythonides narycus Mabille, 1889 View in CoL .

Definition. The genus Perus Grishin, 2019 (type species Pholisora cordillerae Lindsey, 1925 View in CoL ) splits into three prominent lineages at the subgenus level in the tree ( Fig. 5 View Figure 5 ), two of which correspond to currently monotypic and unnamed subgenera. One of these new subgenera keys to E. 37.8 in Evans (1953) and is distinguished from its relatives by undivided and semi-triangular in dorsal view, narrowing to a point, and downturned in lateral view uncus without projections at its base and harpe only slightly shorter than valva, with a broad beak-like tooth on its dorsal margin projecting dorsad beyond costa-ampulla in lateral view. In DNA, a combination of the following nuclear genomic base pairs is diagnostic: aly736.3.1:G100T, aly736.3.1:C101T, aly214.18.3:A37C, aly214.18.3:C38T, aly173.28.7:A73T.

Etymology. The name is a masculine noun in the nominative singular, tautonymous with the type species name.

Species included. Only the type species.
