Bálint, Zs.: A review of the Neotropical hairstreak genus Annamaria with notes on further genera (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)

FREINA & WITT 1984). I consider the name Eucharia BOISDUVAL as a nomen oblitum according to the ICZN Art. 23.9.2. (HEMMING 1967: 171). ROBBINS (2002: 820) considered that "Annamaria D'ABRERA et BÁLINT is unavailable under the ICZN Article 13.1.1. (1999)", because "this genus was not accompanied by a description or definition that states in words characters that are purported to differentiate the taxon". Evidently, ROBBINS did not read the description I give in the image of the original description taken from the original source (Fig. 3). Hence, ROBBINS introduced Lamasina as a replacement of the homonymous and unavailable Eucharis. The type species has also been figured (D'ABRERA 2001: 347, pi. 147, figs 9-10). I do not know of any other Neotropical eumaeine possessing the same combinations of traits given in the diagnosis of Annamaria (see above). ROBBINS did not mention any. The generic name Annamaria is objectively available. Its diagnosis fills completely the requirements of the ICZN Article referred by ROBBINS and therefore I consider Lamasina as syn. n., beeing an unnecessary replacement name, because Annamaria was available and should be applied by ROBBINS and his colleagues in the sense of the ICZN Art. 60. The proposal of Lamasina by ROBBINS had a subjective intention, which is supported by the following evidence: ROBBINS & LAMAS (2002: 203), and subsequently also ROBBINS (2004: 121), applied the generic name Salazaria D'ABRERA et BÁLINT, 2001 (type species: Thecla sala HEWITSON, 1867, by original designation), diagnosed by identical manner and style in the same publication in which Annamaria was proposed (D'ABRERA 2001: 195). The publication date of the ROBBINS & LAMAS (2002) paper is subsequent to that of ROBBINS (2002); therefore, according to ROBBINS' argument applied for Lamasina, the generic name Salazaria should also be unavailable. Checklist and species identification - On the basis of wing shape, dorsal colouration, androconia and ventral wing pattern I distinguish six species in three species-groups.
