8. Megisba strongyle miskinigra Lamas , nom. nov.
= Lycaena nigra Miskin, 1890: 36 View in CoL . Junior primary homonym of Lycaena orion var. nigra Gerhard, 1882: 126 View in CoL .
Lycaena nigra Miskin View in CoL is currently regarded as a valid subspecies of Megisba strongyle (Felder, 1860) ( Edwards et al., 2001) View in CoL . Lycaena orion var. nigra Gerhard View in CoL (unambiguously proposed for a subspecific entity) is currently regarded as a junior subjective synonym of Scolitantides orion (Pallas, 1771) View in CoL (e.g. Gómez & Arroyo, 1981). However, Lycaena nigra Miskin View in CoL was only transferred to Megisba Moore, 1881 View in CoL after 1899, by Waterhouse (1902), whereas Lycaena orion var. nigra Gerhard View in CoL was still included in Lycaena View in CoL after 1899 ( Courvoisier, 1914).
Etymology: Derived from the surname of William Henry Miskin (1842–1913). A noun in apposition.
