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

along the wing margins and on the head and thorax. Two thin silky girdles occurred on each side of the thorax. Five days before eclosion the thorax was brown and the eyes black; one day before eclosion the reddish wings could be seen inside the pupal shell. Myrmecophily - The DNO was visible on the last instar as an elliptic lightbrown element and the TO'

s as whitish spots. No ant attendance was observed but the following ants were collected around the foodplants: Camponotus chilensis (SPINOLA) and Dorymyrmex hypocritus (SNELLING), (det. Dr. DAVID R. SMITH). Smaller ants have been collected east of the pass by A. UGARTE and were determined as: Lasiophanes valdiviensis (FOREL), L. hoffmani (FOREL), Linepithema humile (MAYR), Amhlyopone monrosi BROWN and Amblyopone n. sp. (det. JOHN E. LATTRE). All these ants are suspected to be associated to Pseudolucia. Pseudolucia benyamini BÁLINT et JOHNSON, 1995 (Figs 41-44) Pseudolucia benyamini - BÁLINT & JOHNSON 1995/?: 2; type locality: CHILE: Reg.
