Bálint, Zs. ; Benyamini, D.: Taxonomic notes, faunistics and species descriptions of the austral South American polyommatine lycaenid genus Pseudolucia (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae): the chilensis and collina species-groups

Key to the species groups of the genus Pseudolucia based on male and female genital characters Male genital uncus horse-shoe shaped, male aedeagus with very short (less than 0.1 subzonal length) suprazonal element, female genital ostium membranous (collina and chilensis species-groups) 2 Male genital uncus pointed, male aedeagus suprazonal element longer (than 0.3 subzonal length), female genital ostium heavily sclerotized (andina, plumbea and charlotte species-groups) 3 Male genital aedeagus with pointed suprazonal element, female genital ostium pointed in dorsal view collina species-group Male genital aedeagus with stout suprazonal element, female genital ostium not pointed in dorsal view chilensis species-group Male genital uncus with concave outer margin, sagum strongly sclerotized around aedeagus, female genital ostium sclerotized with narrow central tube with wide lateral opening charlotte species-group Male genital uncus with convex outer margin, sagum sclerotized or membranous around aedeagus, female genital ostium with wide central tube (andina and plumbea species-groups) 4 Male genital sagum with sclerotized anal edges and bristles, valval costa highly convex without brokening angle, female genital ostium with very wide central tube andina species-group Male genital sagum membranous, valval costa slightly convex and broken in wide obtuse angle, female genital sagum with wide central tube laterally pointing plumbea species-group THE CHILENSIS SPECIES-GROUP The monophyly of the species-group is based on the following characters: (1) male genital aedeagus with stout suprazonal element; (2) female genital fibula membranous with central sclerotized element quadrant shaped in dorsal view and (3) larval host is Cuscutacea, the exceptional host plant of P. chilensis may also be indicative for this species group. At present three species are known; each of them represents an endemic of limited distribution, isolated either on the western or eastern side of the Andes, or in SE Brazil.
