Theritas
sensu Robbins
is not monophyletic
Robbins (2004b)
used
Theritas
as a catchall for those
Atlides
Section species that did not belong to the readily recognized
Arcas
,
Pseudolycaena
, or
Atlides
. It is polyphyletic in our results (
Fig. 8
). To maintain the taxonomic stability of
Arcas
,
Pseudolycaena
, and
Atlides
,
Theritas
is partitioned into
Theritas
,
Denivia
K. Johnson and
Lucilda
d’Abrera & Bálint.
New generic names are not needed.
