Bálint, Zs. ; Johnson, K.: New species of Cyanophrys sensu lato from the Andean region of Argentina (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)

Cyanophrys CLENCH, 1961 sensu stricto JOHNSON et al. (1993) restricted the use of the generic name to the diverse group of species sharing very complex genital components (highly sculptured and with additional components). In ELIOT'S (1973) scheme of the Eumaeini such complex components were considered apomorphic. All these species iridescent blue on the dorsum with green venters showing various patterns of white spots, stripes, or mottling. Figs 3-7. Adults of certain Cyanophrys (sensu lato) species (venter only). 3 = holotype male, Cyanophrys mykros, 4 = holotype male, C. nescus, 5 = holotype male, C. octonarius. 6 = allotype female, C octonarius, 7= holotype female, Plesiocyanophrys runa
