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

"acaste" species group Cyanophrys octonarius sp. n. (Figs 5-6, 14-17) Diagnosis. A moderate sized species (FW 15 mm) characterized by white crescents of the VHW postbasal and medial areas mirroring each other so as to form a "figure-8" shaped mark over otherwise immaculate green ground color. Other "acaste" group taxa exhibit a medial white stripe across the VHW (variously straight, jagged, or broken, depending on the species) and seldom any postbasal marks. Genitalia are distinctive in both sexes: valvae of males with small elliptic bilobes and elongate caudal extensions (Fig. 14: Al) (contrasting prominent bilobes in the "acaste" group); females with elongate antrum (Fig. 17: Bl) and anteriorly directed lamella antevaginalis (Fig. 17: B2) forming an overall "arrowhead"-shape (contrasting smaller antrums, if occurring at all, and laterally oriented lamellae forming an overall "c/îa/iy'-shape in the "acaste" group). Description. Male. Head with irons green. DFW, DHW bright iridescent violaceous blue with narrow (1 mm) black borders widening to 2-3 mm at FW apex. HW anal lobe somewhat distended, colored centrally brownish, limbal margin without hairlike tails. FW with obvious elliptic bluehued black scent brand. VFW, VHW deep "kelly" green except for gray-black area of FW base; FW with faint, white-spotted postmedial line, costa to cell CuAl, HW with "figure-8" shaped pattern formed by crescent-shaped white crescent-like slashes in postbasal area paralleling costal slashes in the medial band. Wing otherwise immaculate green except for faint white markings along anal margin and a brown arc occurring faintly along the submargin. FW length: 15.0 mm (holotype); paratypes 14-15 mm. Female. Wing shape more rounded than male, DFW, DHW dark violaceous gray, FW darker (especially distad), VFW,VHW similar to male but with anal and submargin markings slightly more pronounced. FW length: 15.0 mm (allotype); paratypes 14-15 mm Male genitalia: Figs 14-16. Vinculum robust with base near saccus flared, saccus short and funnelshaped; valvae with small elliptic bilobes (Fig. 14: Al) and elongate caudal extensions; aedeagus terminus rather flat, with two pencilate and slightly spinate cornuti. Female genitalia: Fig. 17. Ductus bursae terminating with elongate antrum (Fig. 17: Bl) and elliptic lamellae with lateral lobes of lamella antevaginalis anteriorly directed (Fig. 17: B2) giving an overall "arrowhead"-shape to the terminus.
