Museum, Jagiellonian University (Krakow, Poland) (UM), one male specimen (gen. prep. No. 868) deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM). The paratype ("allotype") female, with data "Peru, dept. Amazonas, Molinopampa. 2965 m, 29.VI.1997., leg. Pyrcz-Woj tusiak"; "gen. prep. No. 807, Zs. Bálint", deposited in UM. Type locality - Via Granada, 2800 m, Molinopampa, dept. Amazonas, Peru (Fig. 14). Biology - The type specimens were hilltopping at relatively high elevation between 2800-3100 m above see level on a picacho. The female paratype speci­men was collected by the end of June, the male paratypes during the last third of August. Presumably the generation is prolonging through the dry season with low population density. The type locality is on the top part of the ridge joining the path leading from Molinopampa to Granada. The ridge originated at lower part of rela­tively undisturbed cloud forest and in its upper part emerged as a culmination cov­ered with shrubs and small trees. Associated lycaenids of the transect listed in al­phabetic order: Atlides havila (HEWITSON, [1865]) (2965 m); Echinargus martha (DOGNIN, 1887) (2980 m); Hemiargus ramon (DOGNIN, 1887) (2980 m); John­Figs 10-13.
