Description

Microthyris Lederer, 1863

This strictly Neotropical genus contains seven species (Nuss et al., 2016), two more than recorded by Munroe (1995) due to his omission of one (microthyralis Snellen, 1899, described in Crossophora) and the transfer of Cyclocena lelex (Cramer, 1777) to Microthyris by Hayden & Dickel (2014).
