Subgenus Calocolliuris Liebke, 1938

Calocolliuris Liebke, 1938: 55. Type species: Casnonia ludoviciana Sallé, 1849 by original designation. Etymology. From the Greek prefix calo - (beautiful) and the generic name Colliuris [q.v.] [feminine].

Diversity.

Five Nearctic and Neotropical species were included in this subgenus by Liebke (1938: 55-56). However, a number of species (e.g., Colliuris liptera Bates, Colliuris tetrastigma Chaudoir, Colliuris caymanensis Darlington, Colliuris ellipticeps Liebke, and Colliuris gundlachi Darlington), placed in other subgenera by Liebke (1938), are closely related to members of Calocolliuris (personal observation).
