Note: On the basis of male genitalia characters as established by Henning & Henning (1984) and examined in all three taxa in the complex (see material above), I. manasei is clearly a member of the I. silas species group and therefore should be listed in the subgenus Argiolaus and not in Philiolaus as cited in d’Abrera (2009) and subsequently in Collins et al. (2014).
