V. 2019, Coll. A. Li & Y. F. Hsu (IOZ). Paratypes. 2♂ 6♀, same locality as for holotype, reared from Cyclocarya paliurus, emgd. 9. V/ 12. VI. 2019, Coll. A. Li & Y. F. Hsu; 2♂ 1♀, VII. 26. 2018, Coll. Y. F. Hsu, 7♂ 7♀, 3–31. VIII. 2018, Coll. A. Li. (IOZ, FNNR, NTNU). Male (Figs. 1–2): FL 16.5–21.3 mm (mean 19.5± 1.2 mm, n=12); female (Figs. 3–4): FL: 17.5–21.3 (mean 19.9±1.0 mm, n=14). Diagnosis. The distinction between subspecies sichuanensis Hsu & Li, subsp. nov. and nominotypical A. panda is mainly on markings of wing undersides: 1) M1 and M2 spots of the distal band of central symmetry system on forewing underside are detached from R5 spot in the nominotypical subspecies, whereas they are conjoined with R5 spot in ssp. sichuanensis; 2) proximal band of central symmetry system is large, with width much broader than cell bar in the nominotypical subspecies, whereas that is small, narrower or as wide as cell bar in ssp. sichuanensis; 3) three spots of the proximal band of central symmetry system near wing base on hindwing underside are conjoined into a bar in the nominotypical subspecies, whereas they are separated, notably the posterior spot, in ssp. sichuanensis; 4) ground color of wing undersides is overlaid with prominent gray scalings in ssp. sichuanensis, whereas it is paler with gray scalings poorly developed in the nominotypical subspecies. Ssp. yunnanensis is different from ssp. sichuanensis and the nominotypical subspecies by the greatly reduced proximal band of central symmetry system on forewing underside. Hostplant. Cyclocarya paliurus (Juglandaceae). Bionomics. Adults were observed staying on foliage of the hostplants, descending to understory vegetation when sunshine was intensive with high temperature in fair weather. Ova (Figs. 5–6) were mostly found on naked leaflet in dormancy, but occasionally on small twig. Green larva (Fig. 7) devours young tissue of the hostplant such as new buds and soft leaves. Brown pupa (Fig. 8) is girdled. Distribution. Araragi panda sichuanensis Hsu & Li, subsp. nov. has been so far found in a few canyons in Baoxing area in Sichuan Province, belonging to north-south oriented Qionglai Mountain Range. This mountain range is approximately 400 kilometers distant from east-west oriented Qingling Mountain Range in Gansu and Shaanxi Province, where the nominotypical subspecies of A. panda inhabits.Published as part of Hsu, Yu-Feng & Li, Ai-Min, 2019, A new subspecies of Araragi panda Hsu & Chou (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae, Theclini) from Sichuan, western China, pp. 296-300 in Zootaxa 4701 (3) on pages 297-298, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4701.3.6, http://zenodo.org/record/355806

Spindasis syama subsp. lamuae Hsu & Liang 2020, ssp. nov.

(mis-identification) Aphnaeus syama formosana; Seitz 1927 (not Matsumura): the Macrolepidoptera of the world: 937, pl. 156, fig. 156h; Hirayama (not Moore) 1933: Butterflies in Colour: pl. 20, Fig. 3; pl. 21, fig. 3. (mis-identification) Aphnaeus syama formosana ab. nakaharai Naritomi 1941: Kontyukai 91: 618, pl. 4, Fig. 4. Diagnosis. Ssp. lamuae is characteristic by distal band of central symmetry system of hindwing undersides broken posteriorly at 1A+2A (Figs. 10, 12, 14, 16), whereas this band is continuous, forming a complete V-shaped band in the other subspecies (Figs. 18, 20). The appearance of ssp. lamuae is most similar to ssp. sepulveda Fruhstorfer, 1912 of continental China (Figs. 17–20, 30–34) in wing patterns, sharing the feature of distal band of central symmetry system of forewing undersides in touch with parafocal elements. Ssp. lamuae demonstrates profound seasonal variation, with the markings on wing undersides of individuals emerged in dry/cooler months reduced and turning reddish (Figs. 12, 16). By contrast, seasonal variation is absent in ssp. sepulveda, with individuals emerged from all seasons possessing black spots and bands (Figs. 18, 20); posterior margin of costa on valva is smooth in lamuae (Fig. 27), whereas it is unevenly serrate in ssp. sepulveda (Fig. 32).

Paratypes deposited in NHM, NMNS, and NTNU. Bionomics. Female butterfly oviposits on foliage (twig or leaf) of hostplant (Fig. 43, 44) in the presence of associated ants. Larvae are phytophagous but tended by Crematogaster ants on regular basis (Lin 2011). The larvae devour leaves by scratching epidermis and mesophyll. Larvae conceal themselves gregariously in shelters construct- ed by tying dry leaves while not feeding (Figs. 45). Pupation is taken place within the larval shelters (Figs. 46). Hostplants. Plants oviposited by females or utilized by immatures in the wild included Maesa japonica (Primulaceae) (04F53, oviposition), Ardisia crenata (Primulaceae) (09C26, 09J46, larvae), A. cornudentata morrisonensis (Primulaceae) (09H10, oviposition; 10H20, larvae), A. cornudentata cornudentata (Primulaceae) (09K4, 10H27, 10J52, 11D33, larvae), Mallotus japonica (Euphorbiaceae) (10G26, larva) and Smilax odortissima (Smilaceae)(10J41, larvae). Myrmecophily. This butterfly is obligatorily associated with Crematogester amia (09C26, 09H10, 10G26, 10H20, 10J41) and C. popohana (09K4, 10H27, 10J52, 11D33) in the wild, but larvae may complete development without presence of ants in laboratory (Lin 2011). Etymology. The subspecific name lamuae refers to a comic character Lam (Lamu) created by a famous manga artist Rumiko Takahashi. The patterns of wing undersides recall the graphic design of the bikini Lam wears. Remarks. Seitz (1927) states that S. syama in Taiwan is diagnosable by having the ground color of wing undersides being white, but examined specimens and illustrations of literature all have yellow or creamy yellow ground color on wing undersides.Published as part of Hsu, Yu-Feng & Liang, Jia-Yuan, 2020, On systematic status of Spindasis syama Horsfield, [1829] in Taiwan and the Philippines (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae: Aphnaeini), pp. 485-500 in Zootaxa 4763 (4) on pages 491-494, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4763.4.2, http://zenodo.org/record/376205
