3601 Caltha L.

GBIF

Notes: Deyl and Soják (1970) accepted the genus Thacla. In a phylogenetic study, Schuettpelz and Hoot (2004) found its type species - Caltha natans (= Thacla natans) - to nest together with the northern and southern hemisphere main branches of Caltha. In view of the appreciable variation in Caltha, especially in the southern hemisphere, we do not recognize Thacla.
