Pericharini (Pericharina) Grishin, 2022, in Zhang et al. Insecta Mundi 921: 98.
Genera included. Oz Grishin, 2022 (Figs 7–10); Oenides Mabille, 1904 (Figs 11–12); Lycas Godman, 1901 (Figs 13–20); Orses Godman, 1901 (Figs 21–24); Perichares Scudder, 1872 (Figs 25–60).
Diagnosis. FW without hyaline spot in M 2 –M 3 (Figs 101–102); recurring M vein usually nearer the base of M 3 than CuA 1, with some exceptions (Oenides, Oz, and part of Perichares). Male stigma continuous in Oenides, Orses, and part of Perichares, or discontinuous in Lycas, Oz, and part of Perichares. Mesotibia and metatibia usually spined, sometimes not spined in both tibiae, or only spined in mesotibia. Male genitalia (Figs 103–106) with tegumen not projected over uncus (except in P. manu); anterior projection of saccus shorter than tegumen + uncus; valva with poor-developed ampulla; mid sacculus with several setae; aedeagus without cornutus (only present in P. haworthiana).
