According to Tutt, all 
the species of this genus that follow belong to Scudder’s genus Glaucopsyche, Syst. 
Rev. Am. Butt. p. 38 (1872), type, lygdamus, Doubleday, from America, which Tutt 
separates from Lyccena , but the general structure is the same, and Dr. Chapman 
informs us that the genitalia are congeneric.
