Pseudolucia magellana Benyamini, Bálint et Johnson, 1995 (Figs 17-20) Material examined — Rio Baquales, 350 m, 4.12.1998, La Ultima Esperanza, Magallanes, Chile (1 male, coll. Benyamini). The species was described on the basis of the MNHN holotype female from Rio Baquales, Torres de Paine, Magallanes, Chile collected by A. M. Shapiro (Figs 17-18). Subsequently one male specimen was taken by D. Benyamini and figured here for the first time (Figs 19—20). The specimen, which is in only moderately good condition, matches the original diagnosis: relatively small (fore wing costal length: 11.5 mm) compared to sister taxa, ventral hind wing possessing strongly marked jagged spots compromising the submedial band. This species is the most austral of lycaenid species in the world, occurring at the highest recorded latitude in the Southern Hemisphere for the family Lycaenidae. The etymology of the original description stated that the name signified the region of the type locality in two ways, 1) politically, as in the Province Magallanes of Chile and 2) biotically as the Magellanic Interoceanic Biotic Province. Since, as pointed out in the original description, the spellings of the two regions differ, we consider magellana is to be the correct original spelling (not an incorrect original spelling as per 1CZN, Article 32). Pseudolucia patago (Mabille, 1899) (Figs 21-24) Material examined — Chile, Chile-Chico, 250 m, 1.5 km, W of Chile-Argentina border, 8.1.1999, Aisen, Chile, leg. D. Benyamini, gen. prep. Bálint, no. 815 (1 male, HNHM). From the same locality, 9.1.1999., leg. D. Benyamini, gen. prep. Bálint, no. 816 (1 female, HNHM). From the same locality and with same data (3 males, 4 females, coll Benyamini). Chile Chico, 24-31.XII., leg. Pena, gen. prep. Bálint, no. 788 (1 male, in coll MNHN). The species was described on the basis of the single MHNP holotype male collected in Santa-Cruz, Patagonia (in that time Chile, today in Argentina) and was recently reexamined, resulting in the combination Pseudolucia patago; this taxon was placed in the plumbea-group (Bálint & Johnson 1995: 20). Dubi Benyamini rediscovered the species during his most recent expedition in Chile, when both sexes were collected (Figs 21-24). The female possesses colouration and markings typical for the plumbea-group, and the genital morphology also supports this relationship. The female suggests distinctive character at the specific level: the ductus bursae being membranous and the henial sclerotization notably robust comparing with congeners. Pseudolucia charlotte Bálint et Johnson, 1993 (Figs 25-28) Material examined — Chile, Reg. Araucania, Vn. Villarica, 1407 m, 28.XII.1999., (Refugio), leg. Benyamini (2 males, 2 ff, HNHM). Same data (1 male, 2 females, coll. Benyamini). Chile, Reg. Araucania, Pucon, Temuco, 12X11.1995., leg. Pena et Ugarte (1 female, coll. Benyamini). Chile, Reg. Araucania, Vn. Longuimay, 1400 m, 20X11.1994., leg. Pena et Ugarte (2 males, coll. Benyamini). The identity of P. charlotte was recently overlooked as Pseudolucia ugartei (Bálint & Benyamini 2001) in the Polyommatini synopsis of Benyamini (1995: 15-17). More
