According to Tutt, all 

 the species of this genus that follow belong to Scudder's genus Glaucopsyclie, Syst. 

 Eev. Am. Butt. p. 33 (1872), type, lygdamus, Doubleday, from America, which Tutt 

 separates from Lyccena, but the general structure is the same, and Dr. Chapman 

 informs us that the genitalia are congeneric.
