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.
