Bálint, Zs. ; Johnson, K.: Taxonomic synopsis of the high Andean and Austral lycaenid genus Paralycaeides Nabokov, 1945 (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae, Polyommatini)

NABOKOV'S generic arrangement was followed later by HAYWARD (1949), who described "Itylos endymion oreopola" and pointed out the close relationship of /. vapa and his /. endymion oreopola. In reality, Lycaena endymion, which is validly replaced by Lycaena sibylla KlRBY, 1871 (cf. footnote #1 of NABOKOV 1945: 35 and BÁLINT 1993a: 18) is a representative of the Austral polyommatine genus Pseudolucia NABOKOV, 1945 (BÁLINT 1993a: 18) and not congeneric with the taxa of Paralycaeides.
