Type species. Eurypterus later Mabille, 1891 View in CoL .
Definition. The genomic tree shows that the genus Eantis Boisduval, 1836 View in CoL (type species Urbanus thraso Hübner, 1807 View in CoL ) splits into five lineages at the subgenus level, and we regard these lineages as representing five subgenera ( Fig. 3 View Figure 3 ). Out of these subgenera, in addition to the nominotypical, only one has a name: Tosta Evans, 1953 View in CoL (type species Tosta tosta Evans, 1953 View in CoL ), while three others are new. One of these new subgenera consists of species previously placed in Aethilla Hewitson, 1868 View in CoL (type species Aethilla eleusinia Hewitson, 1868 View in CoL ) and keys to F.1.8 or F.1.4a (in part, as incorrect synonymy) in Evans (1953) and is distinguished from its relatives by the following characters: forewing more pointed or even slightly falcate at the apex, hindwing less produced or more rounded at the tornus; ampulla with a long terminally serrated process directed dorsoposterad and extending over harpe, harpe with process-like expansion at its base by ampulla. In DNA, a combination of the following nuclear genomic base pairs is diagnostic: aly577.14.5:A210G, aly728.5.4:G78A, aly461.13.3:T129C, aly2012.59.3:A90G, aly2012.59.3:T100C.
Etymology. The name is a feminine noun in the nominative singular, formed from the previous genus name for these species: [Ae] Thilla.
Species included. Eurypterus later Mabille, 1891 and Eurypterus haber Mabille, 1891 .
Parent taxon. Genus Eantis Boisduval, 1836 .
