Type species. Nisoniades menuda Weeks, 1902 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. 32.16 in Evans (1953) and is distinguished from its relatives by undivided and narrow, nearly needle-shaped and somewhat upturned in lateral view uncus without projections at its base and harpe nearly as long as valva, with a beak-like tooth on its dorsal margin and projection off ampulla reaching the “beak”. In DNA, a combination of the following nuclear genomic base pairs is diagnostic: aly686.40.2:T38C, aly686.40.2:T99C, aly671.7.4:T75C, aly 2811.5.5:A489G, aly171.6.1:G5424C.

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

Species included. Only the type species.
