Bálint, Zs. ; Wojtusiak, J.: Jagiello molinopampa gen. et sp. n. from Peru (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)

Diversity - Monotypic at present (see Discussion). Specific identification - There is no closely similar genus within the Eumaeiti (see the description of the type species below). Biology - Specimens of the genus Jagiello were collected when hilltopping around shrubs covering the top of a ridge in cloud forest above 2800 m. No larval foodplant is recorded for the genus. Etymology - Jagiello, a noun, treated here as feminine. Originally the name of a medieval family of kings ruling Poland, and also Hungary in certain times, the motherlands of the authors. The ruling family had a great influence on the history of Poland and Hungary. Moreover, the royal family name constitutes the patronym of the mother university of the junior author, where male and female paratype specimens of the type species of the genus have been deposited. Remarks - Systematic placement: We place the new genus in the Penaincisalia-gemis group reviewed by JOHNSON (1992) and classified as "infratribe Thecloxurina" by JOHNSON and KROENLEIN (1993). This grouping is at least paraphyletic. We include the following genera, listed in alphabetical order, on the basis of genital characters mentioned above: Abloxurina JOHNSON, 1992, Candora JOHNSON, 1992, Lamasa JOHNSON, 1992, Penaincisalia JOHNSON, 1990, Podanotum JOHNSON & TORRES, 1996, Pons JOHNSON, 1992, Solanorum JOHNSON, 1992 and Thecloxurina JOHNSON, 1992. There is an other genus, Lamasa JOHNSON, 1992 (type species: Thecla calesia HEW1TSON, [1870]), which was described as "outgroup" of Thecloxurina. We consider Lamasa as "ingroup", because the female genital structures qualitatively are identical. The genus Lamasa includes the type species plus Lamasa robbinsi JOHNSON, 1992 and Lamasa thaïes (FABRICIUS, 1793), comb. n. (Figs 6-9). We are removing from this assemblage the genera, listed in alphabetical order, Galba JOHNSON, 1992, Paralustrus JOHNSON, 1992, Pontirama JOHNSON, 1992, Radissima JOHNSON, 1992, Rhamma JOHNSON, 1992, Shapiroana JOHNSON, 1992 and Variegatta JOHNSON, 1992. This group called here tentatively as Rhammagarnis group {Rhamma was described first by JOHNSON), however, it is most probably again not monophyletic but all of them have female genitals with a large and conspicuously structured lamella postvaginalis (the Variegatta female is not known). Distinctive character state: ROBBINS (1987) demonstrated that, even with the help of fine grade morphological comparison, character states of various eumaeite groups are often contradictory and cause difficulties in determination of monophyletic groups or sister assemblages. However, at the present stage of our research, male and female genital structures remain the main source of data concern-
