http://zoobank.org/ B5CF60DB-22DD-4829-9DBD-8A673CF58BF0

Type species. Vehilius lugubris Lindsey, 1925 .

Definition. Currently included in Vehilius Godman, 1900 (type species Cobalus illudens Mabille, 1891 , a subspecies of Pamphila stictomenes Butler, 1877 ), but not monophyletic with it, and instead is a distant sister to Callimormus Scudder, 1872 (type species Callimormus juventus Scudder, 1872 ) ( Fig. 15 ). A new genus is established here due to genetic and morphological differentiation of its currently sole member. Keys to J. 28.5 in Evans (1955). The new genus is distinguished from its relatives, in particular from Callimormus , by the following combination of characters: no brands in male, uncus broader, not prominently narrowing distad (narrowing in Callimormus ), divided, with knob-like arms, valva similar to Callimormus in shape, but rounder and harpe less separated from nearly straight to slightly convex ampulla, overlapping with it. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly 1624.2.1:T259C, aly 1624.2.1:T231C, aly164.4.1:A79T, aly3277.16.1:C892A, and aly 1041.6.1:C56T.

Etymology. The name is a masculine noun in the nominative singular, formed from the type species name: [lu] Gubr (i u) s.

Species included. Only the type species.

Parent taxon. Subtribe Moncina A. Warren, 2008 .
