__NOTOC__ ''Thereus'' is a genus of gossamer-winged butterflies (family Lycaenidae). Among these, it belongs belong to the tribe Eumaeini of the subfamily Theclinae. These small butterflies occur essentially all over the Neotropics.〔See references in Savela (2011)〕 ==Classification== Though this genus was first proposed long ago, for much of the time ''Thereus'' was included in the "wastebin genus" ''Thecla''. However, the two genera are not particularly close relatives among their subfamily. In recent times, it has been proposed to remove several species from ''Thereus'' to smaller or even monotypic genera. While this might be warranted in some cases, it is not followed here pending more thorough study.〔 The junior synonyms of ''Thereus'' are thus:〔 * ''Molus'' Hübner, () * ''Noreena'' K.Johnson, MacPherson & Ingraham, 1986 * ''Pedusa'' D'Abrera, 2001 (may be ''nomen nudum'') * ''Solanorum'' Johnson, 1992 * ''Timokla'' Johnson, Kruse & Kroenlein, 1997 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thereus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
