Bálint, Zs., Kertész, K. & Wojtusiak, J.: Notes on the highAndean cloud forest butterfly genus Jagiello and its relatives with description of a new species from Peru (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae)
120 Zs. Bálint, K. Kertész &J. Wojtusiak INTRODUCTION The name Jagiello was proposed as a monotypic genus with the type species Jagiello molinopampa BÁLINT et WOJTUSIAK, 2000. The species and the genus were diagnosed by comparison with Micandra SCHATZ, 1888 and Trochusinus JOHNSON, SALAZAR et VÊLEZ, 1997 suggesting possible close relationships of these genera (BÁLINT & WOJTUSIAK 2000: 187-188). Subsequently, it was discovered that the female allotype of J. molinopampa , which was associated with the male holotype, belonged to a different species (BÁLINT, BOYER & WOJTUSIAK 2006). The two generic names, Jagiello and Trochusinus , were listed by ROBBINS (2004) as synonyms of Timaeta JOHNSON, KRUSE et KROENLEIN, 1997 and placed in the "Micandra section" without any accompanying diagnostic notes. These nomenclatural decisions were confirmed later in the revision by ROBBINS & BUSBY (2008), who presented data to support their point of view. Brief diagnosis o ï "Micandra section" and a wider concept for Timaeta was introduced by quoting three characters. Authors also mentioned that "...recognizing Jagiello would require new concepts for the genera Timaeta and Trochusinus ". In this paper we reinstate the generic name Jagiello and present new concepts for genera Timaeta and Trochusinus. The reason for the proposed changes was that some characters used by ROBBINS & BUSBY (2008) to support wide Timaeta concept were not properly interpreted and coded. Moreover, we have also found additional characters, which enabled us to revise the previous decisions. As a result, we can diagnose Jagiello unambiguously, restrict the generic name Timaeta to the "clade" christma-timaeus, and apply the name Trochusinus tor the group of twelve species clustered in monophyly within the wide Timaeta concept. As a result of our research we propose a new key for identification, briefly characterize the hitherto unknown female of T. christina and describe a new species within the genus Jagiello, which therefore ceases to be monobasic. These are followed by a brief discussion on generic concepts outlined in the key and a presentation of hypothetical apomorphic character states for the distinguished genera. We also add some notes on bionomics of the group and on the monophyly of Timaeta sensu ROBBINS et BUSBY and optical properties of Jagiello. Finally, we present a checklist containing all newly proposed nomenclatural combinations. Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung. 102, 2010
