ing the phylogenetic relationships on generic level. ELIOT ( 1973) based his preliminary lycaenid system almost solely on male genital characters. Most recent studies demonstrated the phylogenetic importance of female genital characters (see JOHNSON 1992, ROBBINS 1986 and 1991), especially the ductus bursae and lamella postvaginal structures. The importance of this phenomenon is underlined again by the discovery of Jagiello. Monotypy: BROWN (1993), giving an overview of Neotropical lycaenid butterflies, characterized the fauna. He wrote, that besides other chracteristics, "the large number of monotypic genera" typifies the Neotropical lycaenid fauna (BROWN 1993: 47), but he did not give any examples. BRIDGES (1994, part IX) listed seven Lycaeninae and 26 Riodininae genera as monotypic. However, amongst the "monotypic" Lycaninae taxa listed by BRIDGES there is only a single monotypic genus: lophaus DRAUDT, 1920 (type species: Chrysophanus pyrrhias GODMAN et SALVIN, [1887], Lycaeniti). All the others are more diverse: Cycnus HÜBNER, [1819] (type species: Papilio phaleros LINNAEUS, 1767, Eumaeiti), Micandra STAUDINGER, 1888 (type species: Pseudolycaenaplatyptera FELDER et FELDER, 1865, Eumaeiti), Mithras HÜBNER, [1819] (type species: Papilio nautes CRAMER, [1779], Eumaeiti), Mollis HÜBNER, [1819] (type species: Papilio phalanthus STOLL [1779], Eumaeiti), Pseudolycaena WALLENGREN, 1858 (type speFigs 2-5.
