Type species. Cobalus lurida Herrich-Schäffer, 1869.
Definition. A genus near Cymaenes Scudder, 1872 (type species Cobalus tripunctus Herrich-Schäffer, 1865) and not monophyletic with Nastra Evans, 1955 (type species Hesperia lherminier Latreille, [1824]), where it was placed previously (Fig. 11–12). Keys to J. 26.10 in Evans (1955). Distinguished from its relatives by terminally broad and concave nearly divided uncus; gnathos reaches the end of uncus, weakly separated from it; harpe ventrally excavated, shaped like can opener (with a notch); dark brown cheeks; wings rather rounded, with areas of violet-gray overscaling at outer margins below; a curve of small pale postdiscal spots on ventral hindwing. In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: aly386.7.5:A205C, aly5582.8.1:A1097T, aly138.11.7:G998C, aly84.96.4:G40A, aly5582.8.1:C1037T.
Etymology. The name, a feminine noun in the nominative singular, echoes the type species name.
Species included. Only the type species.
Parent taxon. Subtribe Moncina A. Warren, 2008.
