A NEW SUBSPECIES OF HYPOCHRYSOPS THEON C. & R. FELDER (LEPIDOPTERA: LYCAENIDAE: THECLINAE) FROM CLAUDIE RIVER, CAPE YORK PENINSULA, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA

摘要

Hypochrysops theon johnsoni subsp. n. is described and figured from Claudic River, Cape York Peninsula. Distinct differences in colouration and maculation separate it from populations of H. t. medocus (Fruhstorfer) to the north and H. t. cretatus Sands to the south. The three subspecies in Australia arc geographically isolated and consistent in their individual phenotypes.
