As now restricted, this genus, formerly employed almost as 

 synonymous with Flesperia, or at least to include the great 

 bulk of the tawny Skippers, is now restricted to two European 

 species, one of which is British ; one Siberian ; and two or 

 three North American species. This is the only genus of 

 tawny Skippers found in Britain in which there is no patch of 

 raised scales on the fore-wings of the male.
