status

 

Chrysoritis azurius (Swanepoel 1975) .

Poecilmitis azurius Swanepoel 1975 .

Holotype: Ditsong NM. Type locality: Roggeveld Mts.

MPT: submontane gullies. Host ant: Crem. peringueyi and Crem. melanogaster . Populations occurring in the Sutherland district, Middelpos, Nieuwoudtville, and Keiskie Road (20 km S of Calvinia) are deemed C. azurius . Material originally described as lysander hantamsbergae (Dickson) from near the summit of the Hantamsberg, Calvinia (not included in the study) may also answer to this taxon.

Taxonomy: This species is monophyletic in the COI tree (96%). Wing facies of C. lysander (n = 2) matches that of C. azurius (n = 9) but the network and COI phylogeny shows them to be distinct.

Conservation status: LC.
