A Taxonomic Examination Of Harkenclenus Titus (Lycaenidae: Theclinae) In The Eastern United States: Recognition And Resolution Of Taxonomic Problems By The Delineation Of Old Names, Naming Of A Long Recongnized (But Heretofore Undescribed) Subspecies, And Description Of A Wide Ranging New Subspecies, Ronald R. Gatrelle

The Taxonomic Report of the International Lepidoptera Survey

Harkenclenus is retained per dos Passos 1970 as a genus distinct from Satyrium. The names titus and mopsus have long been considered to apply to two subspecies. These are demonstrated to be synonymous as both names are based on southeastern United States populations. The holotype of titus (Natural History Museum London) is examined and its type locality established as Screven County, Georgia, United States. A neotype is established for the synonymic name mopsus, type locality, Screven County, Georgia, United States. This leaves the long recognized northern subspecies without a name; it is described as new subspecies Harkenclenus titus …
