G45. Lyc/ena. 

 1807. Fabr., El. Mag. vi. 285 : I, Acis (Mars), Ecliion ; II. Argiades, 

 (Arayntus), rubi ; III. Endymion (Meleager), Arion, 

 Corydon, Thetis (Adonis), Leda (Ledi), virgaureae, 

 Phla^as. 



1815. Oken, Lehrb. i. 717: restricts it mainly to the blues, referring to 



it all of the species indicated by Fabricius, excepting rubi 

 and the coppers, virgaurete and Phlasas, and adding others. 



1816. Hlibn., Verz. 23: employs it for Echerius (Xenodice), which 



has nothing to do with Fabricius's species. 

 1824. Curtis, Brit. Ent., pi. 12 : designates Phla3as as type, but 



that is ruled out by Oken's action. 

 1828. Horsf., Descr. Cat. Lep. E. Ind. Co. 68 : restricts it also to 



the coppers, but, for the same reason, erroneously. 

 1828. Steph., 111. Brit. Ent. Haust. i. 79 : does the same. 

 1832. Renn., Consp. 16: the same. 



1832. Dup., Pap. France, Diurn. Suppl. 390 : uses it for Bceticus and 



Telicanus, which belong elsewhere. See Polyommatus. 

 1832-33. Swains., ZooL 111. 132: also designates Phlasas as the type. 



1833. Boisd., Nouv. Ann. Mus. Hist. Nat. ii. 171 : uses it for Bceti- 



cus, Telicanus, and others. 



1836. lb.. Spec, gen., pi. 3 B. : gives a figure of Bcetica. 



1837. Sodolfsk., Bull. Mosc. x. 81, 96: proposes to change the name 



to Lycia or Migonitis, preferably the latter. 



1839. Ramb., Faune Ent. Andal. 262 : restricts it again to the 



coppers, erroneously. 



1840. Wei^tw., Gen, Syn. 88: specifies Phlicas as type. 



1847. Doubl., List Br. Mus. 40: employs it for a great number of 

 species, including, of Fabricius's list, Argiades (Amyntas), 

 Endymion (Meleager), Arion, Corydon, Thetis (iVclonis). 



1852. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 488: makes a similar but more 

 extended use of it, in which he has been followed by most 

 recent writers. 



1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 340 : restricts it again to the coppers. 



1872. Scudd., Syst. Rev. 36: again spG;;ities Phhiias as type. 



No restriction of this group within the blues having been efTecterl, 

 the genus may be confined to Endymion and Corydon of the species 

 mentioned by Fabricius, witli Endymion for type. See Heodes.
