Introduction
A holarctic genus or complex of genera with some species ranging into subtropical China.Nomenclature
Holarctic genera such as Callophrys are the subject of much disagreement regarding circumscription. The inclusive arrangement followed here is that of Robbins (2004), but it is evident that the green hairstreaks of Callophrys s. s. are quite distinct from the elfins ("Incisalia"), and so clearly a comprehensive analysis of relationships is needed.
