Type species. Eutocus arabupuana Bell, 1932 .

Definition. A genus sister to the clade consisting of five genera: Eutocus Godman, 1901 ( type species Eutocus phthia Godman, 1901 , a junior subjective synonym of Apaustus facilis Plötz, 1884 ), Tarmia Lindsey, 1925 ( type species Tarmia monastica Lindsey, 1925 ), Lucida Evans, 1955 ( type species Carystus lucia Capronnier, 1874 ), Panca Evans, 1955 ( type species Lerodea subpunctuli Hayward, 1934 ), and Ginungagapus Carneiro, O. Mielke and Casagrande, 2015 ( type species Eutocus schmithi Bell, 1930 ) ( Fig. 15 ). Therefore, it is a genus. Keys to J. 3.7 in Evans (1955). Distinguished from its relatives by the following combination of characters: wings broad, rounded, below with variegated patterns of darker lines and spots, reminding of a lattice pattern; small triangular brand at the base of CuA 1 -CuA 2 cell; gnathos arms very long and thin, longer than uncus, uncus terminally rounded, undivided; penis with a style half of its length; valva twice as long as broad, harpe upturned, extends dorsally for a third of its length beyond ampulla. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly345.4.7:C2251A, aly1838.61.1:G543C, aly86.14.2:A4732G, aly138.16.3:G112C, and aly86.14.2:A4681C.
