C9102B727001527AAF666D625BC39730.taxon	description	Description. The morphological description follows Mattoon and Austin’s (1998: 685) description of Satyrium fuliginosum semiluna Klots, which is now recognized as Satyrium semiluna semiluna Klots (Warren 2005). A small, drab butterfly. As with many Satyrium, wings predominately brownish or dark brown dorsally (fading to light brown with age), lacking any hint of blue, and lacking tails. Males with strong dorsal scent pad of androconial scales, shared with S. semiluna, but lacking in S. fuliginosa (W. H. Edwards) (Warren 2005). Ventral wing surface light brown with grey overscaling along margins, and large black postmedial spots slightly outlined in white (reduced in hindwings). Females slightly larger and paler ventrally.	en	MacDonald, Zachary G., Dupuis, Julian R., Glasier, James R. N., Sissons, Robert, Moehrenschlager, Axel, Shaffer, H. Bradley, Sperling, Felix A. H.

C9102B727001527AAF666D625BC39730.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Males with small wingspan (<25 mm vs> 30 mm) and less conspicuous ventral spotting than S. semiluna (Kondla 2004). Due to the cryptic nature of the species, identification without reference to source locality is most reliably achieved by DNA as follows, with representative (see Remarks section) diagnostic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are fixed for S. curiosolus (formatted as scaffold: position [S. curiosolus allele / S. semiluna allele]: ScvBUXZ _ 1.
