| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Lycaena gaika Trimen has been identified subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older-established nominal species Papilio hylax Fabricius, 1775 (Syst. Ent. : 526). This identification was established by Corbet in 1940 (Entomologist 73 : 276) after an examination of Fabricius, surviving type. Cowan (1970: 57) stated:- "ZIZULA - delete last eight and half lines." The following lines should therefore be deleted/ignored according to Cowan:- The disturbing feature of Corbet's discovery lies in the fact that for over one hundred and thirty years the nominal species Papilio hylax Fabricius has been misidentified with the species accepted as the type-species of the genus Pithecops Horsfield, [1828]. In the note given under that generic name proposals have been put forward for stabilizing the long-established application of the name Pithecops, one of these being that the name hylax Fabricius, as published in the binomen Papilio hylax, be suppressed under the Plenary Powers. On the adoption of this proposal the name Lycaena gaika Trimen will become the oldest available name for the type-species of the present genus, that species thus recovering the name habitually applied to it hitherto. ZIZULA was included within the subfamily LYCAENIDAE: LYCAENINAE by Ackery et al., in Kristensen (1999). Oppler & Warren, 2003. Butterflies of North America 2. Scientific Names List of Butterfly Species of North America, north of Mexico. Contributions of the C.P. Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity Colorado State University include Zizula in the tribe Polyommatini. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
