Definition. Currently one of the two species of Charis Hübner, [1819] View in CoL (type species Charis ania Hübner, [1819] View in CoL , which is Papilio anius Cramer, 1776 ), but is not monophyletic with the second (and the type) species, and instead sister to the clade that includes a number of other genera such as Charis View in CoL and Calephelis Grote & Robinson, 1869 View in CoL (type species Erycina virginiensis Guérin-Méneville, [1832] ) (Fig. 26). Therefore, it constitutes a new genus. Distinguished from its relatives by atypical for the group more elongated wings (without pointed apex), orange band at forewing apex, prominent silver wing margins in males below; exceptionally curved, earlobe-shaped aedeagus and very broad valvae, as broad as long.

Etymology. The name is a feminine noun in the nominative singular formed from the beginning of the type species name with insertion of h for Charis .

Species included. Only the type species.

Parent taxon. Tribe Riodinini Grote, 1895 .
