Bálint, Zs. ; Lamas, G.: On the taxonomy of the Neotropical Polyommatine Lycaenids (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae, Polyommatini)

Peru) [MUSM]. For comparative purposes, materials loaned or received from different sources (mainly American Museum of Natural History, New York, USA; The Natural History Museum, London, UK and Naturhistorisches Museum, Basel [NHMB], Switzerland, for the systematic studies of the senior author (cf. BÁLINT & JOHNSON 1995/?) at the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest [HNHM] have been examined. Genitalia dissections - Drawings of genital structures were prepared using conventional binocular microscopy. Dissections are stored in glycerin vials deposited at the relevant institutions based on the number sequence of the senior author. Terminology - Morphological terminology follows the previous papers of the series containing descriptions of new polyommatine lycaenids from the discussed genera (Eldoradina and Nabokovia: BÁLINT & JOHNSON 1994c/; Itylos: BÁLINT & JOHNSON 1994b, BÁLINT & LAMAS 1994; Madeleinea: BÁLINT & JOHNSON 1995«, 1995/?, BÁLINT & LAMAS 1994). THREE NEW MADELEINEA SPECIES FROM THE HIGH-ANDEAN PART OF CENTRAL PERU (POLYOMMATUSGENUS-GROUP) Madeleinea ardisensis sp. n. Figures - Wings: 1-2, female genital henia: 19, tergal morphology: 27. Diagnosis - Superficially resembling M. pacis DRAUDT, 1921 and M. cobaltana BÁLINT & LAMAS, 1994 but smaller, with slightly convex FW costal edge. VHW pattern typical of moza-group and most resembling those of M. pacis and M. cobaltana with wide postmedian band but submarginal area darker; female genital fibula showing sclerotized henia with very long edges. Wing shape, pattern and morphological characters distinguishing the new species are summarized in Table 1. Description - Male: FW margin slightly convex, outer margin relatively long, apex pointed. DFW, DHW ground ultramarine blue; black margin widened at apex; DFW showing very pale discoidal line. Fringes checkered. VFW ground colour light brown, strongly suffused with bluish-gray scales at base, discoidal spot small, postmedian spots very large and darker brown, halos white; submarginal and marginal areas brown with antemarginal spots and marginal line; VHW pattern elements very dark brown; apical postbasal spots large and merged, pseudovitta present up to postmedian area; postmedian spots merged in a very wide wavy band; subbasal area brown; margin with suffused whitish spots in each cell end. Female: similar to male, but DW ground lighter ultramarine blue. FW length: 9.0 mm (holotype); male: 10.0 mm (paratypes, n = 3), female: 10.0 mm (paratypes, n = 2). Male genitalia not examined. Female genitalia: ductus bursae strongly corrugate and eversible; henia strong, quadrant shaped in dorsal view; fibula with pointed apex in lateral view but flattened in dorsal view with anally curved edges; eight tergite with relatively long apodeme. Type material - Holotype female and one female paratype labelled as: "Peru, LI, Rio Rímac, Quebrada Chinchán, 4250 m, 1

1°37'S / 76°14'W, 3.II.95, Z. Bálint and G. Lamas". Three males, one female paratypes, labelled as "Peru, LI, Rio Rímac, Quebrada Santa Rosa, 3950
