Lycas Godman, 1901 (Pericharini: Pericharina) currently comprises five species. Although molecular data have driven numerous taxonomic changes in recent years, this genus still lacks a comprehensive revision based on a robust morphological diagnosis. Here, it is provided a morphological analysis based on 410 specimens alongside a phylogenetic analysis. Lycas is redescribed, including a detailed redescription of Lycas gabriel Grishin, 2025, and diagnostic features are provided for all included species. Finally, lectotypes are designated for Hesperia argentea Hewitson, 1866 and Hesperia ceraca Hewitson, 1866.
