Iolaus freyaallanae, Sáfián, 2022

Sáfián, Szabolcs, 2022, Iolaus freyaallanae sp. nov. (Papilionoidea: Lycaenidae: Theclinae) - a new species from Zambia in the genus Iolaus Hübner, [1819], subgenus Iolaphilus Stempffer & Bennett, 1958, Metamorphosis 33 (1), pp. 72-78 : 73

Iolaus gabunica gabunica ( Riley, 1928) Iolaus gabunica mbami (Libert, 1993)

Iolaus freyaallanae sp. nov.

Iolaus liberiana Sáfián, 2017

Note: Iolaus alexanderi and I. liberiana are very similar in appearance and could be conspecific. However, the fultura inferior of the holotype of I. alexanderi illustrated in Larsen (2005) carries features, namely the lobes on both sides of the stem of the fultura laterally that are missing from the two dissected I. liberiana males. Unfortunately, the genitalia of the holotype of I. alexanderi were not found in the ABRI collection, and their status will therefore remain uncertain until further material becomes available. The I. gabunica species group might have affinities with I. menas Druce, 1890 and related species, but members of this latter, as yet undefined group, have rather different genitalia.
