Type species. Papias tristissimus Schaus, 1902 View in CoL .

Definition. Previously placed in Papias Godman, 1900 View in CoL (type species Pamphila integra Mabille, 1891 View in CoL ), in subtribe Moncina A. Warren, 2008 , but not monophyletic with it and instead belongs to subtribe Falgina Grishin, 2019 ( Fig. 16 View Figure 16 ), being closer related Propapias Mielke, 1992 (type species Rhinthon proximus Bell, 1934 View in CoL , a subjective junior synonym of Cymaenes sipariana Kaye, 1925 View in CoL ) and, in particular, to Thargella Godman, 1900 View in CoL (type species Hesperia caura Plötz, 1882 View in CoL ) and. Keys to J. 36.9 in Evans (1955), where it is placed as a subgenus. Distinguished from its relatives by the following combination of characters: males with prominent oval brand above forewing vein 1A+2A, antennae longer than half of costa, genitalia remind of Propapias : uncus arms long and thin, longer than tegumen, saccus short, shorter than penis width, but differ by nearly rectangular valva with a broad tooth-like projection near the middle by costa and narrow tooth-like upturned harpe narrowly separated from ampulla. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly536.210.3:A34C, aly173.33.1:A894T, aly 2793.1.1:T1014C, aly1155.15.1:A383A (not G), aly598.2.1:C466C (not A), aly315.12.2:G1169G (not C), aly 1341.12.28:A8953A (not C), aly 1591.7.3:T313T (not A), and aly 1591.7.3:C314C (not G).

Etymology. The name is a masculine noun in the nominative singular, derived from the genus name where the type species has been placed previously but does not belong despite some superficial similarities.

Species included. Only the type species.

Parent taxon. Genus Thargella Godman, 1900 .
