The genus Incisalia was proposed by Minot in 1872, to separate from the unwieldy genus Thecla thos small butteflies which, on a basis of general similarity of structure in teh imago, seemed to be most intimately related to Hübner's niphon, which stands as the type.

page 142 note * Edwards secured 15 eggs from a female imprisoned over plum.
page 143 note * The larvæ from two eggs found on leaves attacked the perenchyma of the upper surface. These were not collected, but, with others, were left for observation in the field. One of them was discovered by a small black spider, which carried it off before my eyes. The other disappeared the day after hatching, may have been killed, or sought the flower.
page 143 note † It may be merely a coincidence, but I have never found a larva on the variety albaflora.
