Kretania Sephirus
''Kretania sephirus'', previously known as ''Plebejus sephirus'', is a species of butterfly that belongs to the family Lycaenidae. It is found in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Asia Minor. The species is part of a species complex, with many members of the complex using variations of the name zephyr blue, including ''pylaon'', '' trappi'', and '' hesperica''. The species, which previously belonged to the genus ''Plebejus'', was moved to the genus '' Kretania'' following a 2013 molecular phylogenetics study of the subtribe Polyommatina. Many ''sephirus'' populations are threatened, and are legally protected in some countries, such as Hungary. Description From Adalbert Seitz Friedrich Joseph Adalbert Seitz, (24 February 1860 in Mainz – 5 March 1938 in Darmstadt) was a German physician and entomologist who specialised in Lepidoptera. He was a director of the Frankfurt zoo from 1893 to 1908 and is best known for e ...'s ''Die Großschmetterlinge des palaearktischen Fauneng ...

Plebejus
''Plebejus'' is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. Its species are found in the Palearctic and Nearctic realms. Taxonomy As a result of studies of molecular phylogenetics, numerous species that were included in ''Plebejus'' by some authors at the beginning of the 21st century have now been moved to separate genera again. These species may be found in ''Afarsia'', ''Alpherakya'', '' Agriades'', '' Aricia'', ''Eumedonia'', ''Icaricia'', ''Kretania'', '' Maurus'', ''Pamiria'', '' Patricius'', '' Plebejidea'', '' Plebulina'', and ''Rueckbeilia''.

Polyommatus
''Polyommatus'' is a genus of butterflies in the family Lycaenidae. Its species are found in the Palearctic realm. Taxonomy Recent molecular studies have demonstrated that ''Cyaniris'', '' Lysandra'', and '' Neolysandra'' are different genera from ''Polyommatus'', where they had been included, sometimes as subgenera. Some authors still recognize other subgenera, such as ''Agrodiaetus'', ''Bryna'', ''Meleageria'', and ''Plebicula''.
