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

to the misleading tradition of using the generic name "Thecla" for various species groups of South American eumaeites not closely related to Old World Thecla FABRICIUS, 1807 (type species: Papilio betulae LINNAEUS, 1758), we decided we must erect a new genus for description of this unknown Eumaeiti species in the present paper, which is the first in a planned series of papers entitled "Notes on Neotropical eumaeites". Jagiello gen. n. (Figs 1-5) Type species - Jagiello molinopampa sp. n. Systematic placement - Jagiello belongs to the Eumaeiti subtribe of the tribe Theclini (Lycaenidae: Lycaeninae). It has ten forewing veins (Fig. 1), hairy eyes, stubby-tipped foreleg tarsus, commonplace eumaeite male genitalia (cf. ELIOT 1973, Figs 66, 68) characterized by a thick ventral vinculum, narrow aedeagus, strong manica, ventral process of tegumen, lacking brush organ and juxta (Figs 2-3), typical eumaeite female genitalia (cf. ROB BINS 1991, Fig. 56) with distinctive traits as structurally robust along the terminal lamellae and at the cervix bursae only, with intervening ductus bursae transparent and extremely narrow in the lateral view; lamellae in ventral view sclerotized as two abutting oblong plates separated by a central, narrow and transparent, fissure; cervix bursae with a distinctive, rounded, sclerotized collar which surrounds the anterior tip of the ductus bursae. This collar's "open ends" are tapered to points abutting the seminalis (Figs 4-5). We place the new genus preliminarily in the Penaincisalia-genus group (see DiscusFig. 1. Jagiello molinopampa sp. n., wing venation sion). (male)
